Hey congratulations on 1900 followers that's amazing! 😄 Id love to hear your commentary on Sour, its such a great fic I love the whole tense dynamic between them at the start, the whole thing is super hot 😍 and the ending is so cute ! Thanks💕

Hi dear! Thank you so much and I’m glad you liked Sour! It was so much fun to write and I really miss it. I wrote kind of a lot and a little bit about my inspiration and each chapter! I’m so happy you asked me about Sour because I miss talking about it!

I can’t add a read more because I’m on mobile but I hope you enjoy my little commentary!

Background: so I got inspired to write this from Lou Reed’a song Hanging Around. I really liked the lyrics and wanted to base my story off it but when I began writing I went an entirely different direction. I still kept the you know... Arrogant and full of herself reader but I at first wanted it to be an all girl punk band traveling with queen on tour but then that idea got to be too much so then I did a female in a mostly male punk group. I chose bass because its a well known fact that girls that play bass are hot. I chose a punk band because T. Rex toured with a punk group to try and unite the two genres and audiences together.

Chapter 1.

OH GOD this is perhaps my second favorite chapter. I came up with the chapter title after never naming my chapters and kind of ran with it. I was pretty feral at this time and was very touch deprives so I got all my aggressions out here. I also had reader drink my favorite combination of drinks called a boiler maker which is a shot of whisky chased with a full beer and made her experience that night based off of one of my own I had earlier this year (that’s a story for another time). It’s just HOT AND FERAL AND I LOVE THE HATRED BETWEEN THE TWO

Chapter 2.

So at this point I knew I wanted it to have long ass chapters and to be shorter because I tend to dwindle off when writing long fics (*ahem* see FSC) so for this chapter I picked up the pace. I wanted something feral and something soft which hopefully I made. I wanted roger to be slightly touch deprived and needy for physical contact due to his divorce and other life issues which is why I made the s*x scene between the two so soft but then added the Intense one towards the end. This is also where we see the two of them beginning to develop feelings. The arguing during the recording in the beginning was inspired by all of the Beatles out takes i would watch on YouTube.

Chapter 3.

This was my all time favorite chapter and low key the hardest to write for some reason. I loved the Rogerina part I added in at the beginning because it was entirely self indulgent. I love the part where reader tries to leave and Roger stops her. This is really a turning point for the whole story because it becomes slightly more domestic and GAH the s*x scene between the two of them is just so FBDKFJSJ I also wanted to add more to her bandmates. I really enjoyed them as side characters and thought they added some good comedy to the overall story line

Chapter 4.

I also really liked this chapter. Here reader and roger are in a somewhat established relationship. It’s new and they set up boundaries like when they are on tour. I like having jealous!reader and drunk!reader make an appearance. I feel like they are both big babies and I love it. I also liked the teasing through the whole chapter and then the reversed roles and slight revenge reader gets. I honestly didn’t like the ending part but I couldn’t think of anything else and the story was getting too good. They needed something to disrupt their lives so I made reader have a pregnancy scare. It’s kind of a cop out but fics with cheating hurt my feelings too much.

Chapter 5.

So I DIDNT want reader to be pregnant because I thought that would literally ruin her whole career(my own personal opinion) but I like that roger is supportive and not mean about it. I like the relationship I have the band with their manager. I really wanted Hank to be a total nerd and square that managed a group of young rambunctious punk rockers. The interview scene is actually one of my favorites and inspired by the Beatles interviews I have watched where they are sassy and don’t give a fuck. I also wanted to make dad!roger make an appearance because I think it’s soft and sweet but I realized I am bad at writing children I’m honestly not satisfied with the ending very much but I could t think if anything else to right. I had a morning after written but I hated it and knew I wanted the series to end with this chapter and if I didn’t end it where I did the chapter would have been endless boring nonsense.

Overall I thought the whole story was fun to write and I would love to write more where roger and reader are older but I would have no idea where to start haha.
