Thank you so much! I’m glad I got my Virginia in character, though I have to say that Wolf was definitely more of a challenge than she was- Virginia’s head is much easier to get into, because I can really understand her history and the way she looks at life, where with Wolf I have to walk a fine line to keep him in character. The plus side of that, of course, is the ability to do fun things with scent and it’s in character for him to think in very romantic, fairy-tale terms. And I just realized that most of these are from his perceptive.
Delta was, as I said above, a very ‘viola’ moment for me; Sleeping Beauty was a fairy tale that was a running theme throughout the whole show, and when I rewatched Virginia waking up with Wolf watching over her, and thought ‘a-ha!’
re: Epilson: As soon as I got the prompt I knew I was going to do something to that ring- because oh my god do I hate it so much. It’s the most annoying thing in the mini-series, and I’m not convinced that it wasn’t the real reason that Virginia said no (I kid).
I’m glad you enjoyed ‘beta’. I love that scene where they first make love, because it’s one of the more unique and romantic sex scenes I’ve seen. How many shows add humor to the sexy in that way? Rolling around the bushes growling sweetly at each other..... they showed so little and said so much. If he’d asked her then, sans annoying ring, she’d have said yes.
I can’t tell you how much I like to hear that my characterization is correct- that’s usually the main thing I worry about, because it’s really what draws me to write fanfic, and if the characters aren’t right, it doesn’t matter what else I’m doing, because the fic is going to be unsatisfying reading.
