thoughts on the current update

I'm currently wondering whether or not I'll be dodging bullets after people read this newest update. It's always a concern of mine when...

*SPOILER ALERT READ NO FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE UPDATE*













...women are involved in the story. Jessica received some serious hate (which was expected) and I'm sure Ann will too but I hope people understand that they are entirely different characters with different intentions and personalities. The one thing I don't like about a percentage of the slash fanbase is the hardcore hate that is directed at female characters from that group without taking the other aspects of the character and plot into consideration. But anyway it's totally expected since she's unintentionally wrecking the Sin/Boyd home so whatever.

The reason behind this decision was kind of complicated but I'll try to make it make sense. First of all, it was something I truly believed would happen. These are two characters with a very charged history and when I started thinking about how they would interact, I knew Ann would be very intrigued by the Sin she was finally seeing as opposed to the one dimensional villain she always thought of him as before. The fact that she has all of these other issues in the background and is notoriously known for having been a very sexual person in her younger years on the compound made it pretty likely that she would start to become sexually attracted to Sin. (but like who wouldn't? if anyone took a gander at the pics of Jason Muirbrook, anyone would lust after that kid)

If you throw in the fact that Sin is alienated from basically everyone he thought he could trust and confide in, his fear of telling Boyd everything and the fact that he is notorious for using sex as a vehicle to escape his past, everything just fell into place.

Also keep in mind, Sin doesn't understand the connection between the physical aspect of sex and the feelings and intense emotions that Boyd evokes in him.

So we took took all of that into consideration and we factored in the fact that Boyd and Sin do have a flawed relationship (and that was something we needed to explore in this book) and that they really do need to take a step back from it and see what's going on so that they can become more aware of the situation and what they both want out of it or if they really want it at all.

We knew this would be a situation that would make it impossible for them to ignore the issues they both have individually and as a couple and it would force them to come to terms with that.

So please don't think this is suddenly a ANN AND SIN STAR CROSSED LOVERS story. This is still majorly a slash story with some het elements sprinkled in every now and again. I'm not saying how long this plot arc will last or how it will turn out or if Boyd and Sin even recover from this new obstacle because I don't want to spoil things but keep the STILL A SLASH STORY!!! in mind as you read on and don't be scared off. We wouldn't betray our fans by turning things het at the last minute without some major warnings ahead of time.
