#AsSheShould Degrassi: The Next Generation - What It Feels Like to Be a Ghost Pt. 2 (6x10)

13, 15 for the writers asks!

13. What fic was the easiest to write?

I had a big year of writing and I'm actually proud of myself for seeing through, and in the new year, I can only hope to write more.

I think I've had the easiest time writing Where Are You Now?

I have myself on a strict deadline (Christmas) and the story has been an absolute labor of love, and feel genuinely good about it. I can bang out chapters like no shaboggle, no lie. 😉

14. Rec a fic you wrote or posted in 2023

So the fic Imma discuss that I wrote is Faking it, since I'm sure my moots are sick of my most recent Where Are You Now? which I've been more focused on lately because it's a seasonal kind of story. Now, Faking It features a lot of the same characters used in WAYN but is less au, set in the high school era, mainly around the season 5 mark. By contrast, WAYN is canon to s3 around Holiday, and then it changes and is set years later in adulthood. There are vignettes to bridge gaps, that's why they exist if you do read it and don't know.

The best way to describe it is like a fake romance au. Emma wistfully and even pathetically crushes hard on the new kid in school, Peter Stone, and is too cowardly to tell him. It's worth noting that this version of Peter isn't that important and is just a distraction, but s5 drops out of canon and is a bit over the top, follows the HS years and has differences making its own storyline.

Sean is newly returned to Degrassi and has his sights set on winning back Ellie's affection, but she won't give him the time of day and is angry with him for how he left her with the rent and everything else, overall is in a better state of mind. So Sean and Emma join forces to get what they both desire just as friends posing as lovers or whatever. It gets complicated when Sean learns of Jay and Emma's secret tryst in the ravine, and some lingering feelings they'd been denying make them question if this is what they want anymore, in turn they draw nearer to each other, and it blurs the line between their friendship and more and other storylines relate to that. I have quite a bit done with that one, and then I kind of got a bad case of writer's block and left it alone but I started around April of 2023 for that story, and do plan on seeing it through in time after I finish with my current WIP.

Where are you now? is based on music and such a commentary on superstardom and grief, family, friendship, loyalty, trauma, and the question (rhetorical), can money buy happiness, or love? The answer is obvious. Loosely based off of the song Lucky by Britney Spears, and titled with era album-mate Where Are You Now? It is a love story against the backdrop of Christmas, present day.

Okay, here is a link from a03 to Faking it, and here is a link to Where Are You Now? ✨
