Notes | Isla Nublar #13: Monorail

Notes for Monorail

This is a part of the original version of the fic that I always felt was really rushed.  Large sections of it read more like a rough draft to me, and skip over a lot of stuff in between.

And one of the biggest problems I always had with the first version was I set a lot of stuff up, and then kind of let the reader infer the details from there.  Which makes this middle section here the perfect spot to slow down and address some of the things that got very brief hints early on, but no real resolution originally.  And even though Thor doesn't really feature as a character in this chapter, he's the driving force of it.  And Thor in this fic, this time around even more than last time, is a victim of AO3's horrible decision making when it comes to tags.  Originally (it's not anymore), the first version of this fic was not tagged for Movies.  It was tagged for All Media Types.  All of my Thor fic was, as a deliberate choice.  But that tag is now synned with Movies for some ignorant reason, and it makes Thor seem really weird as a result.
