ravenswept22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you've never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not.
How about most of my work so far, because a vast majority of my scene are unwritten.
Well, there's no non-serious scene I haven't written; that seems like a weird question, seperating unwritten from serious or not, shouldn't it just matter if it's, you know, I'm getting off track here.
A legitimate unwritten scene... in planning for the Noir story, the outline at one point called for the detective (did I give him a name, I should give him a name) who Rachel is seeing to be assigned her "case", and head the RICO unit tasked with taking on her organization. It was meant to build up the tension between his work drive to take "her" down, and the juxtaposition between her knowing he was the head of unit but keeping the relationship going regardless.
I dropped that angle, and any related scene, because I figured it was too cliched to have the two big names of the story be the leaders of the opposing forces. Instead, I'm going with him being part of the organizated crime unit, but aiming at another family, picking up hints about Rachel's group through street contacts and not being stupid when it comes to noticing escalating retaliation. He eventually picks up enough hints to make a connection, but I don't think he realizes how high on the food chain she is.
