Here is another batch of writer notes on Sorcery 101. If you want to read ahead on these got ahead on these head over to my patreon.
Title page
I think a few people got this right away, but this cover is a reference to The Graduate.
page 934 – 941
Connor’s much more interested in his werewolf powers than Jeff. To contrast Brad and Jeff’s displeasure and Kayla’s indifference, Connor is 100% on board for werewolf times. Showing him practicing I thought was important and the fact that he can now do things Jeff can’t.
Danny filling Jeff in on January is supposed to give people more hints he knows about Connor.
page 942 – 943
Jeff wouldn’t have as many problems with January because he doesn’t interact with many girls he is unrelated to. So I wanted to show Connor getting affected first but wanted to do it subtly. So he just zones out and then starts tapping his pen nervously.
page 944 – 949
Also, Jeff and Connor finding Seth just hanging out I thought would be fun. Cause he is waiting to do dramatic surprise, but it’s ruined. Also, little bit of lore. The vampire needs an invite thing applies to all “creatures of darkness.” I also like the where is Brad and Ally and Seth just points up. Also Seth while intimidating doesn’t want to threaten Danny in front of Jeff and Connor cause he figures he might need them to not know how dangerous he is later. You know, like if he wants to sleep with one of them. Get it, stiff one. yuk yuk yuk. Also this and the line at the end of the chapter are intentionally vague about Connor and Seth sleeping together. Then the bite marks on Connor later are a bigger hint, until Connor tries to end it.
page 950 – 954
I try to always remember Danny has a dog and put King in the background a lot. Jeff playing fetch to kill time seemed like a good use of a dog. And like I said Jeff doesn’t interact with girls he’s not related to often so he’s the last one effected.
Even though this whole chapter focuses on stuff that in hindsight I’d cut cause I just don’t want to focus on it. I do like the diolog when Jeff and Kayla are having sex off screen.
Connor’s got hammered applies in two ways. Not as many people got that as I expected. Or at least they didn’t comment on it.
