So, as @kosegruppie shared today in an Instagram post, the original fanfic mentioned in the SKAM season 4 script for the Evak windowsill/classroom make out scene is actually mine. So I thought I’d share a little bit about it here:)
Back in January 2017 (after SKAM season 3 ended and before the trailer for season 4 dropped), I joined a SKAM Facebook group and I’d regularly (like daily, lol) post little “scenes” in real-time like what’s Even and Isak doing right now? At some point in January/February Julie Andem joined the Facebook group, which by then had about 1000 members. Andem would once in a while comment on a thread but mostly stay low key. In start-February (I don’t remember the exact date but around 12 February), I posted a little “clip” in the group about Isak and Even making out in an empty class room between classes.
This is the original “scene” in Norwegian posted on Facebook in start-February 2017:
English translation:
When season 4 aired, I watched in real-time, and when I saw the windowsill make out scene I immediately thought that looks really familiar! The setting, the making out, the start of the dialogue (the stuff about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and “I’m thinking about our future, Even!” was improvised by Henrik and Tarjei, though <3). When the script for Season 4 was published with a note for the scene describing how it was based off a fanfic found on Facebook, I was sure - Julie Andem had read the little fic, I’d posted in the group where we were both members.
A few months later, I met Andem at a book signing for the script books in Copenhagen and she remembered me and my “fics” from the Facebook group. She gave me a copy of the Season 4 script and signed it with “For Anne, thank you for helping out with the script <3 Together we managed! Hugs Julie Andem.”
Ps. As you can see in the original little scene, I did write Even kissing Isak on the neck. So, sorry for neck action in the bloopers, Tarjei!
