If at all possible could you all include some nice scenes between Dawn and Giles - it's just kinda important for my ep that there's a stronger emotional link between them. Growing more father-daughtery, if you see what I mean.

If you could do that, it'd be great! Hopefully the payoff in my ep will be worth it! :-)

I mean, normally I'm a lean, mean fic-writing machine... but this is just not coming together. I think it was definitely a good move for me to not be writing an arc story because I've kind of fallen out of the arc a little recently (been too busy to spend a lot of time online)... but I don't know. I think the combination of characters I've been asked to focus on is a bit of a stumper; Kennedy, Andrew and Dawn. It's nothing I can't handle, but it might not come together on time. Just so as you know. Is it really essential for me to focus on all three of them? They don't make natural bedfellows, but to have three equally dominant plot-threads running seperately might be a bit much. So what I need to know, is can I reduce the significance of one of them? I'm not sure which one as yet, but unless this story clicks into place pretty soon I'm going to start again.

Just one plot where those three are the main characters. :-)

Kennedy doesn't sit right with Andrew and Dawn. I just can't get the dynamic right. So I can get that into two threads... but that still leaves everybody else. They need a little bit of a plot too.

But it doesn't matter. I think I've cracked it. And the episode seems to be primarily Kennedy centric now, with Andrew and Dawn the main supporting characters. Thank god it's not an arc story...
