TOTALLY ANNOYED? MORE LIKE TOTALLY ECSTATIC. I love when you post comments like this, seriously, ohhh my god. It's just so awesome to know exactly what you liked and which bits you GOT.
Like the whole Lolita thing. I was reading Lolita when I started writing this, I think? Or at some point while I was writing it. So a lot of things sort of crossed over without me even realising. I definitely did some bits of it on purpose--lol obviously seeing as Lolita is DIRECTLY MENTIONED--but some of it just came naturally with the theme of the fic, idk. SO GLAD you got all that though, even if you had to revisit Lolita's many forms and then get creeped out. ;) The uneasy-feeling-in-the-stomach is what I was going for, 'cause I gave myself that, too!!
One of my personal favourite bits is the flashback with Georgie telling Anna she fancies her, because it's just something I could so easily believe? I'm glad it seemed that way to you, too.
What you said about the bit with Will and Anna, I get it. It's one of those things that's really hard to explain because it's just a FEELING but yes, you got exactly what I meant with that. They're so close that it was something Anna could accept even if she was confused/disturbed by it. I was worried it came across too much like he was taking advantage of her, so I'm glad it didn't!
I'm so glad you liked Skandar in this. IT PAINED ME NOT TO INCLUDE MORE OF HIM. I made up for it by making him extra-snarky whenever he was around. And, he wasn't really meant to have any idea what was going on, but idk, it's Skandar so you never know. ;) And YES the role reversal thing with him and Anna, definitely. I enjoyed writing that.
The plotting-and-seducing while still being really innocent/naive is what I was going for, too. It's hard to get across. A few times I just felt like she was really OOC and I wanted to try and show that she was actually purposefully acting that way some of the time.
THE BIT WHERE GEORGIE GETS HER PERIOD IS MY FAVOURITE PART TOO. I have also totally thought about this before and was glad to get a chance to include it. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT US AS PEOPLE, BUT I'M SO GLAD YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT/LIKED IT TOO.
Detective!Anna AU would be awesome. Everyone else in the cast would be sleeping around with each other and trying to keep it secret and she'd be trying to find out what was going on. And then she would, and then join in. She'd have like, a trench coat and a tweed hat and little glasses. OMG that reminds me, I totally want to write Anna/Georgie with Anna in drag! THOUGHTS?
THEY WOULD TOTALLY HAVE A SECRET KNOCK, THOUGH. When I'm staying anywhere with my family in a hotel or whatever we make up a knock. I'm like 99% sure they do it too. And I definitely thought of you while writing the bit about Georgie's legs. ;) AAAAND OH MY GOD, THE PICTURE YOU LINKED TO! It is the EXACT picture I thought of while writing that flashback! I started writing it and then I was like "why does this sound familiar?" and dug out my movie companion book and I was like OH THAT'S WHY. You are so awesome for making the connection.
The bed-sharing is also really close to my heart because it's something I could imagine so well. Ben would totally be singing drunkenly.
In general I'm just so glad you get the same weird endearing/hot vibe from my Narnia RPF as I get while writing it. Like it's not even always how I intend it to go, it just DOES, because they're all so close.
