Pharrell's sacrifice to the Cause.

 

kel: Next! Lise, why don't go you ahead and talk about how I'm a mean evil person who made you cut the line about how Pharrell wasn't wearing his seatbelt.

lise: I was getting to that.

kel: Right.

Tell them about how I made you re-write it and you hadn't saved the file so you had to do it all over again.

lise: I was getting to that, too.

Anyway. The very last line of this article was *supposed* to be "Williams was not wearing his seatbelt". Because, there was supposed to be the implication that Justin took it off, in the flashback scene. And I fought - actually fought, not in my head this time - to keep it, desperately. But kel and both the betas agreed that it was weird, so no matter how much I loved it, out it went.

And I originally did this article by scanning in something, and then painstakingly removing the text from the article and pasting in a picture of Justin where something else was.

kel: It looks amazing, it looks totally real.

lise: So I wrote the article, the first draft, and then saved the image, and as we edited the html'ed portions of the fic we changed various things - and then right before posting, either Katie or Kel herself was like, "oh, yeah, we have to change the article." And I don't think I had saved the blank template.

So I had to erase the text again. It was good times.

kel: Lise = the best of us.

lise: I still picture that line at the end of this article. In my head, it's there.

kel: You probably put it in there subliminally, when you were re-writing the article.

lise: It's true. Next.
