Dear Readers,
Good God, it's been over three months. Do you all hate me terribly? Well, you all have Sapphira to thank for this because I started to write a L/S one-shot and then I said, "Why the hell am I doing this when I need to finish the next chapter?" It's very hard for me to get inspired these days (see Author's Notes for Chapter 12).
If it's any consolation, I do have the majority of the story outlined. So I do know what's going to happen, I just have to get around to transcribing the bits and fleshing them out. I can tell you that there will be at least another three chapters to come and hopefully, the Pack Meeting will take place in Chapter 14. Of course, I may make the meeting a chapter in itself, since, y'know, big happenings and all.
I sort of view this fic in two parts. The first half was Sophia the human trusting Luke enough to love him and trusting herself enough to let the Wolf free. The second half will be Sophia the Skinwalker trying to reconcile her two worlds and to come to terms with her new life. Chapter 12 marked the end of the first half. From now on, Sophia is going to undergo some changes as she sees exactly what she can do. It should be much more action-oriented. And, continuing on with the previously unnoticed (by me) trend in my epic fics, somebody will end up dying. I'm horrible, aren't I?
Another point I wanted to address now is the fact that I made Sophia a black wolf. I didn't make her white for mainly two reasons. First off, everybody makes her white. Secondly and more importantly, if I made her white, I'd have to make Ruby a more predominant character and I didn't want to do that. If I could somehow, realistically, do away with the whole John/Ruby/Tyler arc, I would. However, it was the focal point of the television show (which is why it bombed), so it's really impossible to completely dismiss it. So I try to just put them in to broaden the story and give them as little attention as possible. Ergo no white wolf Sophia. But Sophia is a half-breed, which makes her special as far as the Pack goes, and I felt that deserved some sort of recognition. I went into research mode and discovered that pure black wolves are just as rare as pure whites. The rest, as the cliché goes, is history.
So that's it. I just wanted to clarify those few things. I do want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who feedback and only do so once for each chapter. Thank you kindly. And for the record, I did end up finishing that one-shot. It's "Passion's Promise." It kinda became a short prequel to "Aspect." My, isn't it your lucky day! Happy reading.
