Mystery Girl intro fic: the first draft
Sep. 15th, 2024 06:14 pmAnother behind-the-scenes post for the Cover of Knight universe!
I started writing the current fic, One Plus One Is More Than Two, in a fit of inspiration in April 2023. That's more than a year and a half ago. It's two months before I started posting Reveals by Knight, and a full year before I started posting Here's What You Missed.
So I wrote a big chunk of fic, and then made myself stop. Because it takes place post-HWYM, and I wasn't even close to finished writing HWYM at that point. Really needed to hold off writing until I actually knew all the plot points from the fic it was building on.
(HWYM, meanwhile, I held off a lot of the writing until after I saw The Marvels, so I knew all the plot points from canon I was going to build on.)
Had a full functional draft of HWYM in December 2023. Finally circled back to work on One Plus One again, starting in March 2024.
And sure enough, it needed revisions! (Including 2 whole chapters of lead-up. This became chapter 3 of the posted fic.)
( Figured it could be fun to post the original 2023 text. With some director's commentary... )
