Heya so this is a bit of a chat. This is what was once a chapter of Derek's. I wrote it and published it and promptly discarded it. It was awful. I was trying too hard to show the plot. Then I had a think...
Many of you have asked where this story is going. It's a good question. I won't answer it though because...what would be the fun in that, it's the ride that's fun. Instead I think I will explain a bit more about why I wrote this fiction and trust in my readers to work out the rest.
I am currently a little disappointed with LBGT representation on tv. It's shallow and one dimensional. Callie and Arizona aren't, they are rich characters. I want to explore the journey of how there relationship could be remedied, in all it's various stages, without a quick fix. Arizona's may have had a 'aha moment', as symbolised by the tattoo. The question is can she maintain the lesson learnt, when challenged. People make many mistakes. Arizona's change is new , raw and easily broken. It would be so easy to go back to old ways, and she just might. That's what I'm trying to show. As for Callie, her world has been shattered, its not an easy thing to overcome. Her journey is just beginning. It's their journey, hopefully towards one another which I am trying to capture.
Big thanks to Pekegal, AZSgirl, and HRK9164. Your comments really keep me writing. The rest of you are wonderful also.
Ill try and post next chapter today. It's Callie.
