:D I'm so glad you're still enjoying it! Thank you for such a lovely comment.
Yes, it was typical for Anna to be the one doing all the thinking, and I was planning that all along, and although it was harder to write, it definitely needed to be there to give the story more structure.
I'm glad you liked that bit that you quoted, it's one of my personal favourite bits too. I love the idea of her getting distracted by him like that, suddenly realising how attractive she finds him. And I think that Skandar WOULD hide his affection towards her, at least most of the time, because he still feels like she's kind of the 'enemy' because he's spent so long sort of competing with her for Will, and he can't get used to the idea of them being equals. So it's hard for him to admit that he really likes her.
I'm not sure what you mean about Ben? I haven't really put him in the story at all, haha, because I started writing this before I even really knew who was playing Prince Caspian (I think) and so I couldn't have him there at the premiere or anything. And now he's just kind of not around, haha. I am interested in focusing more on specific pairs, mostly to get Skandar to deal with/get over his jealousy, I think.
That's so cool that you thought of this when you heard about Tilda! :D Haha she just seemed like such a perfect person to give advice about this, I just figured she wouldn't be really shocked or judgemental or anything.
I definitely will be writing more. It means so much to me to know that you feel like that -- the bringing two communities together thing -- because it wasn't something I set out to do, but I did start to hope for it. :)
