- For some reason I think of purple as being Brittany's favorite color, I'm not sure why. Maybe because I associate it with unicorns? Ha. I don't even know.
If we're just going by what Santana wears, she seems to wear more red than anything else. Or at least her red outfits are the most memorable, because it's usually those sexy dresses. And her prom dress was red.
But then there's her black sex dungeon bedroom.
The plot of this chapter is - Spoiler:
Brittany "surprises" Santana by finding a little studio apartment in Manhattan for the two of them. And of course she says yes, because how can she not? But deep down she's not really sure she wants to move. And even in little things, like picking out a new bed set for their bigger bed, they run into issues (Brittany wants the bright floral pattern, Santana wants sexy black... Because I mean, look at their bedrooms on Glee. How could you possibly combine those two styles?) Meanwhile Kurt and Rachel are bringing in Jesse St. James as their new roommate, so every time Santana comes home, he's like measuring her room, or in her spot with Kurt and Rachel on the couch, making her feel replaced. Because who would she be more irritated to be replaced with than Jesse? In the end, they won't get the apartment after all, because of course there's no way I'm letting her move out. But I think there are some fun issues to explore with the concept of Brittana considering moving in together, just the two of them.
That made me lmao and then I remembered I was jealous of her room cuz I have always wanted Black walls. Now I feel weird. lol. Oh lord at the summary lol. | |

| I'm liking the plot for the next chapter!
Santana and red do go together and it's a fabulous color for her but I always put it in the Santana's image department. Red goes with all of her image and power moments but it isn't typically used in the genuine moments. Black has been and then the light colors of Landslide and Songbird.

| Her Prom dress was probably red, cuz she looks hot in red and for the devil in a red dress line. | |

| Cora the next chapter sounds brilliant!
Santana's favourite colour, I feel like it's black. The reds look good on her, so I feel like she plays that up more than actually loving the colour.

| Loved the last chapter, Cora! Like Eli already said: Your Rachel is incredibly good. I can see Lea in front of me saying these words you wrote down, as I'm reading your fic.

| I'm trying to find some song for either Santana to sing to Brittany at work, or for the two of them to duet to. What do you guys think about this acoustic version of I Think We're Alone Now? (For some reason I want it to be a cheesy 80s song. ) I have no idea who that girl is, BTW. I realize the notion of music in fic is kind of dumb... I'm not going to give "song lists" like some people do for each chapter. But I want to be able to see/hear it clearly in my head. | |

| I like the idea of a stripped down version of that particular song being sung by Santana. If I insert Naya's voice and slow the tempo down just a touch then I really like the song | |

| Hooray for the update! I continued my streak of reading where I shouldn't be reading. Tonight I enjoyed it while getting headshots and program photos done. It was like I ignored everyone and stared at my phone until I had to smile then stashed the phone in the cleavage until the shot was taken then back out for more reading. I'm classy like that.
As always it was fabulous. I love your episode feel so much. It just plays perfectly in my head. | |

| ok, I'm gonna come out and say it: that was some SERIOUS Pezberry trolling, Cora! It totally looked like you're setting up something juicy with Rachel. Loved it, that should give those hardcore Brittana shippers something to be worried about God, I'm so mean. And thank you for mentioning the granny panties! I squealed at that | |

Lol, yeah, I figured since we'd never see it on the show, I might as well plagiarize myself. I think there's other stuff I've used that was originally just a random post at GF, but now I can't think what it was. - eli_ wrote:

And thank you for mentioning the granny panties! I squealed at that Ha, I notice someone in the reviews mentioned they thought they were going to kiss. I guess if I was going in the Pezberry direction, that would have been the perfect opportunity. They do have a strange kind of chemistry, though... even just in fic. I think it's because they're both such strong, feisty, well-defined characters. Brittany is so... amorphous, for lack of a better word. She's not nearly as defined. Especially this season. Shanna, should I feel weird knowing my story was in your cleavage? | |

| Ahh, I am so so stuck for this next chapter. I don't know what to dooo. Now that I've set the precedent of each chapter being huge and all-inclusive, like a complete episode, I have to continue that way. So I have to find a way to weave the different characters' stories together, as well as have some kind of overarching theme.
Everything just kind of came together easily in the last one, I didn't even have to think about it that much. But I'm having a hard time organizing all the plot threads for the last few chapters. I'm really, really bad at plotting. This is damn hard! I feel like I'm writing a whole show myself, Lol. I know it's only four characters and some peripherals, but it's still tricky.
The Brittana is especially tricky, because I feel like I'm just stalling for time until the inevitable happy ending. I don't want to keep giving them contrived drama, but there has to be something, you know? | |

| Well, you don't neccessarily have to keep to drama going for every chapter. I think you have what, two or three more chapters you wanted to do? You can easily give them some more fluff now that Santana's more aware of how Brittany feels re: living together. Create some more Brittany/Rachel drama and let free. | |

| I definitely want to do some fluff in this next one, because it's the Valentine's Day chapter. But even fluff is hard to write... actually in some ways harder than drama, especially with my style of really visual writing, because there are only so many ways to describe how two characters smile at each other, etc. Lol. You have no idea how difficult that part is - the descriptions of how they look/sound/react. I do all the dialogue first, and then I have to go back and try to get all tag words to describe exactly how they look in my head, without repeating words over and over. Sometimes I just want to insert a gif. Like instead of saying, "Santana gave her a baffled look," I could just put this - There's no way to describe Naya's face and its perfection! | |

| Inserting a gif would definitely supply a perfect visual.
Is there anything we can do to help here? Maybe help connect some of the dots? | |

| I'm sort of typing this out just to help myself organize it, so don't worry if it makes no sense, or if you guys have nothing constructive to add, etc. Lol. I'm just kind of rambling. But if you do have any suggestions, by all means, throw 'em at me. Here are some of the main threads I still need to get to (under spoiler tags in case some don't want to know.) - Spoiler:
-some sort of NYADA gathering where I introduce some of those students, including an older girl who torments Rachel and who Santana hates (because she's allowed to do that, but no one else is)
-Kurt being frustrated by NYADA putting limitations on his creativity, wanting to only reprise classic roles, deciding (with Brittany's encouragement) to stage his own play
-Brittany getting homesick, considering going back to Lima for a visit, Santana freaking out because she's afraid she won't come back
-Rachel getting all cocky about a community theater production of WSS, thinking she's got it in the bag since she already played Maria, but not getting the part, S&B cheering her up with rooftop drinking/performances
-Brittana finally making it to the ballet and their big romantic date night
-some kind of flashback to explain Santana's relationship with Millie, how her sexual frustration and alarming *confusing* thoughts about Rachel led her to try that relationship, how Millie was a horrible influence and a borderline sociopath (has to be tied into the present story somehow)
-the four of them working on some sort of gay rights issue/campaign (this is something I considered doing originally, but now that Glee has ruined the concept by doing it so heavy-handed, I'm not sure... I don't want it to feel like a Very Special Chapter)
-Brittany and Rachel having a day out together, at Santana's insistence (trying to make them get along)
-Pete dies, they clean out his apartment, find pictures of the real Olive and Greta, Ruby, etc. (homage to Mr. Heckles Friends episode)
-Kurt deciding to write a movie instead of a play, about the life of Pete, which Brittany will direct and film
-Brittany filling in as a dancer in some kind of NYADA production, Kurt and Rachel telling her they can get her an audition if she wants it
-Santana losing her job singing (restaurant closes), going through an identity crisis when she realizes that performing is something she needs to do, and without it she feels lost, Brittany giving her her audition
-Kurt has a bit of health scare, the girls freak out and worry it could be HIV
-Santana seeing Jesse come out of Rachel's room one morning, finding out she broke up with Finn over winter break, fight about the fact that she never told her about it, ending with an emotionally charged hug that Brittany walks in on
-Brittany's jealousy issues with Rachel finally coming to a head, resulting in a fight, Brittany deciding to go home for a while, Santana telling her it's a good idea, sounds very much like a break-up (cliffhanger, 2nd to last chapter)
Then the last chapter I know for sure the basics - Kurt and Rachel come home and tell Santana that they're hearing good things about her audition and that it looks like she's in, if she wants it (for the next school year), her telling them that Brittany left, them urging her to go after her, Santana trying to track her down (she was riding with Mr. Bloom, the wine guy) by going to his office at the college, but he's already gone... going back home, dejected, feeling like she screwed everything up, it wasn't mean to be... only to find Brittany sitting on the front steps of the building waiting for her. (Adele Daydreamer reference!) Then she'll tell her she couldn't leave, she's in love with her, she knows what that means now, big cheesy kiss in the springtime street, etc etc, The End.
The problem is, this is a lot of stuff, a lot of threads that don't necessarily fit together. But for each one to stand on its own, I'd have to add a ton of stuff to flesh out an entire "episode." So I either cram them together in a few chapters whether they fit tonally or not, or I do more chapters and come up with a LOT more stuff to add to them. I have a feeling I'll end up doing the latter. This is such a ridiculous amount of thought to put into a fanfic. Don't think I don't realize that. But reading the reviews makes me feel like I want to try not to let people down. | |

| More chapters. Always go more chapters. No pressure though. Everything you write is perfect, but to me that sounds like five or six chapters as opposed to three or four, and a lot of it seems to be more the underlying plots that tie everything together (NYADA and the play[s], Brittany and Pezberry jealousy). You've got a lot of subplots that already seem to be able to work over that (The Pete stuff, and the Kurt health scare), so I think it's already basically set up. | |
