The Great Jeff Davis Tumblr Askathon Part Deux

All right I am in the middle of the busiest weekend ever – but here’s a basic outline of what when down when Jeff Davis took over the Teen Wolf Tumblr ask box again. I will write some more analysis when I have some free time. Here’s how I feel about Jeff for doing this on a Friday night.

Important quotes:

When asked whether knowledge of the popularity of Sterek affected his writing process Jeff had this to say:

It did make me wonder about certain scenes for these first few scripts. I would not say it has affected the storytelling, though. There has been a long plan in place for certain characters. The path deviates sometimes but the destination remains the same.

About the audience:

It does indeed encourage me. We writers write for an audience. I can’t wait for the fans to see how the characters have grown and begin guessing about the new mystery.

Dancing:

Stiles can shake it.

Derek can slow dance,

Scott might need to find some rhythm.

Isaac won’t go near a dance floor.

Lydia is classically trained

Allison is good but a little uncomfortable

Stilinski would surprise you with his grace.

And Peter could beat them all.
