Re: Re: Chelsea Prescott and Other Things
I don't use sports as much just because I find it hard to do anything in there since I'm not as big of a sports person as I used to be. Basketball is maybe the easiest but when putting the volleyball team together I generally went and looked up as much as I could about it, how teams are composed and such. Same with the short couple of chapters where Will becomes Caitlyn Smart. That entire almost throwaway mention about why Willa would be out of town was literally from me doing like an hour's worth of research into how gymnastics at that level typically works, how you progress, etc. Almost too much research for a flavor bit that's ultimately not important.

I'm much more comfortable with the music stuff because I'm big into music and even if I'm not directly featuring it there's a lot of times where I'll pepper in references to stuff I like, especially in chapter titles though it shows up in other things too. The described sounds for things like Sienna's and Jelena's bands come from bands or styles of music that I myself personally like (Sienna's love of punk rock is a bit of self-insertion I'll admit) and the name of Jelena's band comes from one of my favorite Stereolab songs.
