7, 11, 12, 20 for 'i am not what you planned'
All of these are for "I am not what you planned" aka, the "Dr. Reyes/Paramedic Strand Enemies to lovers" fic
7. What inspired the idea for the plot?
The entire thing was prompted by a post @trkstrnd made. I can't even remember what the post was now, all I remember is that I saw it and almost immediately the plot started coming together in my head.
11. Was there a scene that you hadn’t originally planned to include? Why did you decide to fit it in?
The only one I can think of is the scene with Nancy and TK in the diner the morning after she calls Carlos Dr. Jerkface. I put it in because I needed something to transition from that to the OD scene and I just really like the idea of them having a regular diner where they go before or after shifts, and because I wanted a scene to just write them. I love their friendship, both in fic and what we're starting to get in canon.
12. Was there a scene you wished you could have included? Why didn’t it fit in?
Maybe some more filler, either another scene of them getting to know each other or some more 126 content. Maybe even some more Carlos with the 126 content. It could have fit in, but the fic is already 22.7k and I was running out of steam. So some things had to be sacrificed for my sanity.
20. What is something you wish more people noticed about this fic?
I really can't think of anything. I am very proud of this fic and everything in it, but it is also probably one of my best-received fics of all time so I can't think of anything I haven't heard about it that I would like to. Maybe that it has a sequel, if they haven't found that?
