omg, so, i fucking loved Under Your Skin, its one of those fanfics that have stuck with me because i fucking loved the storyline so much, so #1, 2&3, 11 and 12
Thank you!!! These questions are a lot harder than I thought so forgive me if they’re not too interesting but I’ll try my best.
1. What inspired you to write the fic this way?
This was the first time I had ever written in 3rd person POV and I wanted to see how that would go since I felt like 1st person had been so easy (boy, was I wrong!) and I guess I had bigger plans for this story than what actually happened. I wanted to try my hand at something I guess a bit fantasy/horror/altar ego with the Voix storyline that still somehow tied into the universe as well as have a drawn comic for each of those scenes (oops.) As for Sara being straight... well I honestly don’t remember why I did it that way. I guess it’s a common theme of mine to do that, really. I liked the idea of Sara thinking she was comfortable and happy with the life she was living and then having all of that turned upside the second she meets Tegan. Everything she thought she knew was a lie and now she has to pick up the pieces while dealing with the excitement/fear of falling in love with someone new. So yeah, I guess it was just a mash up of all these weird things going on in my head?
2. What scene did you first put down?
That’s a good question, hah. According to my document it was the first scene, right when Sara gets interrupted by Aiden drawing out the first Voix scene at their apartment and he breaks the news of his promotion.
3: What's your favorite line of narration?
“C’mon. Suck my smurf dick.”
11: What do you like best about this fic?
I was really into the Voix aspect of the story when I first started but now looking back on it, I’m really not so sure. It was all so much more intricate in my head than I think it came across as but I liked that this nerdy, loner girl completely swept this cocky, almost PK like Tegan off her feet without doing a thing and them just seamlessly falling in love and being together despite the hardships.
12: What do you like least about this fic?
How rushed it was. I updated at least once a week when I was writing and I would love to go back someday to rewrite it and make it what I had originally envisioned. I’d love to make the characters deeper and with more history. I want people to feel the struggle/pain of them having this secret relationship while it’s all happening right under Aiden’s nose. I don’t like knowing that it could have been so much better as I was writing it. And as much as I personally love them, a part of me hates those last few random chapters I did just because I couldn’t let the story go. Ugh.
Thanks again for the questions. Sorry if I talked too much. :)
