one thing i'd never really stopped to consider before was exactly who wrote the article about sophie that got the whole series rolling. like, yes, it was the black swan, duh. but. which black swan members?
i hope it was the collective. i mean, it would make sense to involve the collective. but i hope there were things like squall insisting the formatting be a certain way based off of some human romcom film she loves that happens to have a closeup shot of a newspaper, or squabbling about which photo to use and tiergan winning w/ "let's use her senior photo" - stuff like that.
