Hey, first off - I LOVE Gabe and Odessa's story. Gabe's POV is the preview is just SO GOOD! Would you object to me writing some fanfiction from Gabe's POV for some parts of season one? I wanted to run it by you first since this is your series, and I didn't want to step on any toes.
Eh, I'm in two minds about this, and I'm fully aware I come off as a hypocrite either way, so please be gentle with me. Also I'm quite tired when I'm answering this so I may not be as articulate as I'd like.
First of all, thank you, and thank you for asking. I'm deeply honoured that you like Gabe and Odessa's story enough to be inspired to create, so please don't forget that with the rest of this, and take it all with a pinch of salt at the end of the day.
Basically, I want to publish this story formally to sell it as a complete novel (once it's had another full edit and tidy up). I therefore don't want to muddy the waters by having more 'Gabe & Odessa' content out there, even if it's fanfic, which is the main reason I'm not 100% behind there being fanfic of them.
However, there is an interlude from Gabe's POV that I published, and some of Season Two is from Gabe's POV, so I'm also protective of his POV in a way I really should probably just let go of... This is mostly because you haven't really got to know Gabe yet (since S1 was all Odessa's POV), and there are a lot of details about him and his character and backstory that I've deliberately saved for 'Season Two' (and beyond!!💍)...
Thirdly, it was posted by me on here for free, with love, and I'm weird about there being fanfic (i.e. content in the same format) based on something I shared with you just because I loved it. Fan art is different (for me) because it's a different medium, but I don't know if I have any right to be protective over any kind of fan content really... I have a weird and hypocritical line in the sand that if it's an OC that I posted for free as a passion project, it's not super cool to write fanfic for them, but if it's something that's been fully and finally released in its entirety (especially if there's a commercial aspect to it) then it's ok to write fanfic for it??? I have no idea. Basically, you're welcome to write fanfic for it after I've published it on Kindle and finished the project, but not on Tumblr when it's still ongoing?? How weird is that?? Ughh. I hate my brain and my heart. That's the bit I meant seemed hypocritical. I fully support the production of fan content online, but not when it was just 'my random blorbo whom i love and shared for free with you'??
Ultimately though, if you want to write it, I can't and won't stop you.
I'd really prefer it if you didn't post or share it publicly, and honestly it really is mainly because I don't want there to be more G&O content out there that could lead a future publisher to say 'hey, we looked into it and there's G&O content out there, and it's gonna complicate the process of publication..' but also for the other reasons listed above.
Thank you for asking, and since you asked, those are my thoughts on it.
