Seventeen & Maldusk: A Supernatural Soap Opera

The college lab and classroom designs, and what Annie does as a grad student, were based on my own college experience. But it definitely is one of those things that's different in different countries. Do grad students in your universities teach the lower level lab classes? They do here. That also involves having office hours a couple times a week for students who need help. So that's what she's doing. The cafeteria is also a big part of college life where I'm from. Annie lives off of campus though, so she doesn't always eat there.

Interestingly, in my college chemistry lab classes, we weren't required to wear lab coats for most of the things we did. We just had to wear safety glasses and long sleeves, etc. Though maybe these students should be wearing extra protection. :lol: I actually did consider putting Annie's students all in lab coats for that shot, but that made the picture boring. I wanted to show some distinct personalities, so I went with normal clothes. I did make all of them wear safety glasses, though it's hard to see in the picture.

*grin* You noticed "honest merchant" guy having a very bad day in the background in that one shot. I'm impressed! He's hard to spot there.

Ion keeping an eye on Reuben? What could possibly go wrong with that? Surely Reuben will appreciate his roommate looking out for him. ?

Underfoot sure does steal the show, every scene she's in. Very adorable little doggie. :heart:



Thanks for the understanding words of encouragement! A lot of these chapters really take a long time to put together. Some more than others, of course, but definitely many weeks for most of them. So, posting at a rate of one per week, I knew I'd have to take occasional breaks to stay ahead. And then, also, I ended up not liking how I was doing Season Two, and completely ripped it apart and redid it. Which has caused me a lot of chapter reorganizing and rewriting (and new screenshots needed, which is what takes most of the time). I originally was hoping to be able to post all of Season One before taking a hiatus, but I ended up changing stuff at the end of this season to work better with the next season, so things in the last several chapters of this season are a mess right now.

Two more chapters will be coming before the hiatus, though. And I think you all have been waiting for these ones for quite awhile now, so hopefully you'll enjoy them... :wink:
