isosceles? i really liked the character development and story progression, plus the apolleo was pretty cute! its one of my top bookmarks to look back on and id love to know some fun facts and/or headcanons for it :>

in response to this ask

(isosceles)

another anon asked for this fic too, so im gonna hit you with 10 so i don't repeat accidentally.

1. this is more popular with non-valgrace usuals actually. so after all these years, there are a bunch of usernames in my head that when i see them i think 'oh another valgrace fan'... i wanna say this is about 30-40 recognizable people? but oh man, did it take them a long time to find this. most of the people into this fic aren't the normal people i associate with vg.

2. it was only supposed to be about 25k. so um, before this fic i assumed it would last about 25 chaps, but around only 1k per chapter. lmao, then about 4 chaps in i was like... yeah, this is only gonna reach 50k. that was a lie.

3. the ao3 version is the roughest version out there. i cross posted to wattpad and ffnet after i finished isos but edited it more. some scenes were cut shorter, sentences switched around, words deleted. one day ill update ao3 but idk

4. in my drafts there's a half-written chapter that's literally just calypso and leo messing around and smoking weed? i never finished it cause i got stuck and then realized i didn't want drugs in the fic.

5. it's the most consistently updated fic I've ever had. i updated every month, often hitting y'all with 2 chaps at a time, or even 3. this is very funny considering i explicitly remember writing some chapters on the fly, while others actually took the whole month span to write

6. okay LMAO this is so funny to me, so everyone noticed that the chapter names spell out something, minus the flashback chapter, but in the beginning when i thought about doing that i apparently didn't know how to count and EXPLICITLY thought "this will be exactly 25 chapters plus the flashback"... but... theres 26 letters... not 25...

7. so i wrote this uh, freshman-sophomore year. now, as a senior when i look back at it, i get super annoyed. i wish I had included waaay more school/studying scenes. like maybe threw in a school project, showed leo (not)studying for final exams. i want to add more of that college app stress that im currently feeling. speaking of:

8. leo got a college recommendation letter from hedge

9. leo's college roommate is carter lmao. i read they were similar somewhere. didn't read tkc so i can't really say if this is true.

10. i've mentioned this a lot, but this is definitely not my favorite fic. however i miss the world i created and while there's a lot that i wish i could change, i love the reception it got during and after it's progress. the fanart and playlist are super endearing and you guys are all amazing :)
