I just had WAY TOO MUCH FUN playing with my audio software's effects to create the Talosians, mix in the background sex noises of embarrassment, and distinguish Number One's inner thoughts from her spoken dialogue. I may have tortured my team with multiple drafts, to get their opinions on whether or not the sound mix was too distracting, overpowered the spoken word tracks, etc. But in the end I was really really happy with the final mix. And now I want to learn my software better, so I can see what else it can do. I was so impressed with Team Tartan's amazing entry, cos they mixed in all the awesome sound effects and music! SO COOL!

But thank you SO MUCH for the notes about the audio editing. I kept drafting and redrafting those sections, to try and make sure they were balanced.
And, yeah... I had that moment when I realised that the story itself is totes PG-13... right up until you actually add the audio of people having sex where suddenly it's like ZOMG YOU GUYS. SO NSFW. HEADPHONES HEADPHONES HEADPHONES!

I loved the fic as well. To have and/or get what you want only for it to be an illusion or lie is heart-wrenching. Hopefully Pike and Number One will get some sense and jump each other!

Poor Number One. She is forever projecting things onto Pike to protect herself, and I genuinely DO believe that the Talosians read that particular fantasy from his mind. But because she cannot see herself that way, and cannot believe based on his quantifiable actions that he sees her that way, she flat out denies herself the luxury of hope. Which is what makes me want to hug her the most, in this story. Because her despair is of her own making.
