Hi Nora, today is my birthday Can't you give me a scene of Andrew and Neil life? I've waited today because maybe you can make an exception Thanks

Happy birthday!!
I wish I could give you a yes, lovie, I really do. I’ve been staring at this Ask all day, checking it off and on at work and poking at it again afterward. I thought maybe I could somehow make an exception, because today is my birthday too, and maybe it’d be something fun for both of us.
But so many hours later, I have nothing to offer, and nothing left to give. I’ve been trying so hard to work the Foxes out of my system, to get them out of my head so I can move on to other projects at last, and after all this work & stress I think I’m finally getting there. For the first time in 17 years I can’t write the Foxes. All I can manage are these Asks, and even these are going to have to stop eventually*.
I’m sorry! :(
((Christmas, for anyone wondering – my Christmas present to myself is to take a break from Fox Asks. That gives me until the New Year to answer anything left in my inbox, and I can start 2016 without these kids in my thoughts. Not to say I’ll be ignoring Asks next year, because I don’t want to be rude, but I’m going to be… significantly slower? more selective? as I try to shift gears.))

Can any of the foxes sing?
A
Seth could. He was a tenor.
Dan tries to carry a tune, and Allison is marginally better at it. Nicky would be fine if he’d stop trying to hit notes out of his range.

Do Andrew & Kevin or Kevin & Neil stay friends after graduation, or do they only really interact on court?
A
They’re still friends, albeit long-distance ones. They don’t go out of their way to see each other, but if they’re nearby they’re likely to drop in for a drink or a bite. Neil and Kevin are more likely to text than call, but now and again Kevin will call Andrew. ((He knows Andrew will pick up))

Any reason why Allison's middle name is Jamaica or is it only because if sounded good?
A
At the time Allison was conceived, the Reynolds Resort in Montego Bay was Mrs. Reynolds’ favorite vacation spot ((she has since changed her opinion to the resort in Bangkok)). “Jamaica” had a little more flair than “Montego” as far as she was concerned. Rich socialites, man, what can ya do?

You've probably answered this already but what 3 bets did Neil close that Allison was talking about? I'm guessing one was his sexuality but what about the others?

so I'm very curious about the fact the foxhole court started out as a comic. were you also the artist for this comic? are there still existing pages of this somewhere? if so, would you be open to showing a little bit to us?
A
The original draft got chucked in the trash during one of the moves, and I have only scraps of the second or third draft. I’d have to dig ‘em up, and they’re absolutely awful, but. Yeah, I was the artist for all the drafts. ((My sisters are artsy, I just sit here and attempt to ruin lives via words))

Allison, because she’s gorgeous and there’d be no strings attached.

I have a question abou writing TFC in general: what was first, characters or story? I mean, did you thought "I want to write about this and this" and then fit Foxes and their characters into what you've been writing or you first created Neil and rest and have their presonalities and them build the story?
A
TFC came from the simple line of thought: “I want to write a comic about gay athletes”. Neil & Kevin came next, the other Foxes showed up as obligatory teammates, and 400 pages into the first draft of the comic there still wasn’t a real story, just a drawn-out series of events. The actual quasi-coherent storyline came several drafts later.

Please tell me, Nora, does Kevin have a middle name? Or did Kayliegh decide to name him Japanese style with just first and last? Also what is Kevin's favorite alcoholic drink, when he's actually at the club getting drinks and not downing hard liquor to calm his poor nerves?
