So since 3S was originally a TMOM AU, when did you make the switch and decide to set it in the SCU instead of the game universe?
Hi Queenie! 👋
So, in the beginning, 3S evolved actually very quickly. I say this so much, but my best friend, @maddiebwrites , was a HUGE help in figuring stuff out, even if she isn't that huge a Sonic fan. She encouraged me to turn the TMOM fanfic into something original that I could tell myself.
The decision to make 3S originate in the SCU is from a very deep love of two essential characters: Tom and Maddie Wachowski. I LOVED them from the start, and it wasn't so much a love of the SCU itself as much as it was a love of those characters that made the decision for me. When I was still figuring out what I wanted for 3S, after the rewrite that took the story from Gods to Kings, I knew I wanted the Donut Dad and the Pretzel Mom in my cast! 🥰
At first, I was hesitant to base 3S in the SCU entirely and considered turning Tom and Maddie into Mobians that found and adopted Sonic when he was young... but that was out the window pretty fast when it proved to have too many holes. Holes that the first two movies of the SCU filled, so into the Cinematic Universe we went! 😁
Thanks for the question, Queenie!
Chapter Eight: Prepare the Way premieres tomorrow, Wednesday, 2/19!
