The Great Jeff Davis Tumblr Ask-a-thon: Part 3



Okay so it’s official I am going to have to quit everything and become a full time fangirl because I left the house for a only about 2 hours (for purposes that are important because food and Internet) and when I got back I find out that Jeff Davis has taken over the Teen Wolf Tumblr again. In order to keep up my now full-time love of Teen Wolf I’m probably going to need you guys to send supplies because it’s clear I can’t leave the house ever again. Or sleep. Sleep is for people that don’t care about Teen Wolf.



All right so I am still in the middle of trying to finish all my recaps – which is probably not going to happen – so I don’t have a lot of time to write much. You can always read the whole adventure on the Teen Wolf Tumblr and Hypable has a much more eloquent recap but if you want what I can give you in the five minutes I have to spare then stick around.

A typical Jeff Davis day ATM:

Well, at the moment it’s very heavy with writing and post production. 9am get to the office and work with the writing staff on plotting out the new episodes while doing an interview here or there, checking on music cues or VFX shots. Then break with writers at 6pm to go work on a cut with editors. Get home at 11pm and fall face first into my pillow.

Jeff Davis on fangirl tears:

I collect them in small jars and just when I’m about to write a moment where a character feels true happiness, I drink the tears and then write a scene where Derek gets the living crap beat out of him. Hahahahaha.

And that’s all I can handle at the moment because I have work to do… and also recapping needs to happen and OMG I am really not prepared for this someone send help.
