Drawing Straws was supposed to be one scene! The actual straw drawing scene. But then I got these ideas about Sam bursting in on Hammond and Daniel and Teal'c talking.
It was actually difficult because I purposefully wrote it more from "team" pov, not getting into anyone's heads--a third person limited unseen narrator as it were. I wanted to try and convey all their thoughts and emotions through their dialogue and action. A way of keeping us somewhat in the dark the way they were kept in the dark of what Hammond and Jack and us as readers (and watchers of Shades of Grey) already knew.
I ended up putting everything in the fic I wanted to. Some people think I should've dropped the Makepeace scene additions, others say it's their favorite part. I wished I had morphed two of their missions into one. It was hard to believe the canon that this all took place in one week.
