Alright, time for Felix to spend a little time learning what it's like to be Jess!

It's probably not super important either way, just one of those things where the more things you change about her, the more believable it is that to an outsider that they're two different people. Again, just my humble opinion!

2024-10-25 05:30:03 +0000 UTCHmm, so have the eye color change be an actual physical one? I do like the idea of Jess using blue contact lenses in addition to glasses and a different hairstyle, but it would mean going back to strips 177 & 178 and changing her eye color there, which I'm not against.

2024-10-25 04:01:25 +0000 UTCI like the idea of Felix using Fionas eye color while piloting Jess's body, because at least that way it seems more plausible to have a situation where Lisa bumps into actual Jess, thinks she recognises her, but then when she sees the different hair style, clothing style and eye color just passes it off as mere coincidence. She's less likely to expect someone else piloting the body and changing the eye color over a simple hair and clothing change. (IMHO anyway)

2024-10-24 23:51:00 +0000 UTCThat original version of this arc also played out differently. Jess doesn't join Felix and Craig's group project (which changed the dynamic between the characters), instead Felix approaches Jess after coming up with the scheme himself. There was to be very little practice beforehand, with just one practice session where they pick out Fiona's outfit and Felix practices a little with taking control. Then the meeting with Lisa goes smoothly, life goes on, Felix doesn't have the money for a second session, and then weeks later Lisa bumps into Jess at the mall. Of course, as outlined in my "Being Fiona - Next Steps" post a month ago, things go differently.

2024-10-24 12:13:06 +0000 UTCWhoops! I was so used to coloring Fiona's eyes I accidentally gave Jess blue eyes. I have toyed with the idea of making Jess' eyes blue when Felix takes control though. In my original script Felix was a paying client, and he paid for an extra session so that he could practice beforehand. So if another client wanted this, they could pay for it, but then no other client has been in this situation.

2024-10-24 12:01:43 +0000 UTCBlue eyes or green eyes? It does seem like a good idea to practice this beforehand at least to get a feel for the teamwork or cooperation involved, it how to deal with unexpected situations.. I doubt Jess' usual clients get that chance to practice ahead of time
