#Now or Neverland

[cbrownjc]

Truth be told, that scene I'm trying to get to is usually the scene I write first now when I start a story. (Or very close to first.) That way, I get that scene out of my head and don't have to worry about it again until the story begins to take more shape.

Then, if I honestly don't have a full plot (or story structure) in mind for the scene, I'll work backward from that scene to see if one can be put together that makes sense. And, when I do that, I usually find that the scene I'm trying to get to either gets better than I first imagined due to rewriting and making sure it fits the plot and structure I've come up with . . . or the scene gets cut and one even better takes its place.

When I was first having trouble writing my fic Now or Neverland, I couldn't get inspired to write past the opening scene of that fic for a long time (a few months). It was hard at first to make myself do it, but instead of just staying stuck and not getting anything done, I jumped ahead and wrote two scenes I had more passion for and that I wanted to get to more than writing the stuff before it. (Which was feeling like a slog at the time.)

After jumping ahead and writing those two scenes, writing that fic became much easier for me to do, as I became less and less afraid to write out of order. And scenes I had skipped ahead to write first became even better as I rewrote them when the plot and structure started taking more shape (and it all became better than I first imagined it).

So yeah. I say, don't be afraid to write out of order. At least for me, I feel it makes my writing better when I do so. And I don't have to wait around to find a plot and structure that gets me to the scene that might have inspired the work. Nor do I end up trying to rush through the boring exposition scenes either. Instead, the scene will inspire the plot and structure, and the scene will usually end up being even better than I first imagined it when I'm done with the story. (And those more boring scenes, oddly, don't become so boring to write anymore either, when I can just do it later after the more fun stuff.)

I love the idea of Raven!Neil being a absolute menace but would he really?

If he'd been sold of according to plan, he'd have been nine.

His canon behavior is so primed on freedom and autonomy because of half his life on the run.

But back then he barely understood that the violence against him was unfair and unjustified. It would have been from one abuser to another, further reinforcing to the malleable child brain that this is the normal.

Even if he did fight back, I'm mostly positive that the resistance wouldn't have lasted longer than Jean's.

Neil dug his grave unwilling to sacrifice his obsession in canon, where his literal life was on the line. It would have been enough for Tetsuji to tell nine y/o Raven Neil that if he wouldn't play for him, he'd never play again, and Neil would have put a lock on his own cage.

Shirai and Posuka's answers to fan questions: pt 2

Reminder that the English answers posted by the officials are machine translated, so there are some inconsistencies (like "About Never" being the auto translation for "TPN", some mess-ups between first and third person pronouns in the answer about Ayshe etc.)

Pt. 3 will be the final part!
