 <\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> Has there ever been an idea that you’ve fallen in love with but just didn’t work (either because it didn’t work in the story line or you had massive writer’s block on it)?<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> Many many ideas. \u00a0Did I mention many? \u00a0I’ll mention a few of them.<\/p>\n

When Timothy was working on Demons and Angels and I on Roads Untraveled, one of the main things that we were trying to work out was if we should Mate Ernesto with Patrick. \u00a0*leaves that there for a few moments for everyone to absorb* \u00a0We went round and round and round, discussed what was already written, what was coming up in future storylines, and in the end it just didn’t work. \u00a0Though it’s still something we both would have loved to do.<\/p>\n

When Sylum was started it was based on a small selection of character choices. \u00a0So some pairings, ideas developed from that concept. \u00a0Some of these I never liked or wanted. \u00a0Which is why in the re-writes your seeing changes in variety of pairings and characters. \u00a0Thomas now Mated with Brass. \u00a0The de-Mating of Greg and Gil. \u00a0The switch of the Rays for Benton. \u00a0Riddick’s Twins being re-worked and re-casted.<\/p>\n

One idea that popped up that hasn’t left us alone is Nico Mated with Ezio. \u00a0 Unless we wanted to literally toss everything out, we had to come up with how to work it into major story structure we already had – including dealing with Warrick. \u00a0 We could never get it to work. \u00a0 And believe me we’re good at making things work for us *cough* Its him but not him *cough* *shifty look* – so that bunny still sits in its corner, staring. \u00a0 That doesn’t mean we didn’t work in some\u00a0good \u00a0history and story with these two characters *smirks evilly*.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
