Writers' Salon!
All right, guys, let's get this started.
This is a post for members to post their burning questions to each other. They can be simple, like "when is Character X's birthday," or not so simple "how would you define the relationship between Character X and Character Y?" If there's a story you want that author to talk about, throw in the title (and some points you'd like covered!) and if said author's willing, they can write their answer in a separate post, since I have no idea what the comment word limits are.
Here's how it'll work: an author who's up for answering questions/writing commentaries about stories will leave their name in a comment. Readers who want to ask questions or request stories reply to that comment, and hopefully we'll have some good conversations going!
If you guys request stories, it may be best if you limit them torainbowfic for the time being, unless the story you've got archived outside the comm is in a public entry.
EDIT: If it's not already obvious, you can ask authors more than one question in however many comments you like. The point is to have a discussion, and it wouldn't be very lively if it stopped at one question per author! Just give the author a chance to finish answering your previous questions, of course.

It... hasn't changed much. There's been some character resettling as people settled into their selves; Aaron, for example, was in my original draft straight and dating Danny, when he is actually biromantic ace and... hahahahahahahahaha NO. Summer was originally supposed to marry Zack, and Felipe was just a friend, then he told me he was in love with both of them, then my head started a shipwar and I had to make the OT3 canon just to get it all to shut up. But the story itself, all this about family and chosen family and love and loyalty, that's always been the same.

I am so glad I'm not the only person who gets into these sticky shipping issues with my own stuff. I know it isn't fun, but at least you aren't alone. And my head-banging wall has room enough for two.
So, you set out to write a thing... and the thing happened as it was supposed to. AND THAT IS SO COOL.
Now, I have to be a tormenting dork and ask what happened with Joy, because you've got me all curious.

Originally, she was a very minor character, a stripper that Aaron wound up dating briefly and then never seeing again. She was not supposed to show up more than once or twice. Then I wrote Here Kitty Kitty, and she was just... fun. So much fun. Tons of fun. She liked boys and she liked girls and she liked everyone, really, and she wasn't afraid to stand up for herself and assert her rights. She was unabashedly sexual but didn't really care if other people were or weren't. She stripped because she enjoyed it and wanted to. She was living exactly the life she wanted to be living, and that in a character was very attractive to me.
Then she crashed Aaron's wedding and started dating Michael and if I ever had hopes that she'd go away, they vanished then.

Joy is fun to read about too. So very much fun. I for one and glad she never went away.
When I picture Joy, I picture her as being one of those people who pretends to be tight-rope-walk over bike racks, just out of nothing. And when other people look at her with their eyebrows quirked, she just smiles and does a little twirl.
