Re: WOW
Date: 2007-02-19 05:08 pm (UTC)The biggest problem I have writing this fic is that I care about all the characters too much. I should just focus on Bobby/John, Bobby/John, but once I've written someone, I feel responsible for them.
I don't foresee much more Scott/Jean (especially at that intimate level). But I wanted to set up Scott's expectations of Bobby as a woman's man. Also, I can't resist writing scenes that let me explore my take on different powers, in this case the way Jean and Scott's bond allowed him to see special colours during sex. I love writing powers. I get to do a lot of it in Chapter 10 which begins on the first day of the new semester at Xavier's.
