3 and 18 for the behind the scenes asks?
3. Do you write fics from start or finish, or jump around?
start to finish, always! i think ive written a fic out of order Once in my life (wrote the start, skipped the middle because i was struggling with it and worked on the end instead) and i still don't think ive quite recovered from the sheer disappointment i felt when i remembered that no. im not finished. i still have stuff to write
18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.
im going to go with the last scene in violet disposition- this bit specifically!
The world spins past in shades of fireworks and summer days and sleeping under the stars until the sun comes up, and then- nothing more.
When Mitsuba opens his eyes, he’s sprawled over backwards on the tarmac, and there’s a boy with a shock of blonde hair and the most ridiculous earring ever sitting on the road beside him.
i actually wrote a rough version of this part in my notes app while i was eating breakfast, a long while before i actually started working on the whole fic- it might've looked like that last line was a reference back to the opening scene, but it was actually the other way around when i was writing it! i think i managed to tie everything together nicely because i already had the final scene There and ready to go- it was just a matter of guiding everything else to lead up to that point
