I love Skins! I've only watched the original UK version, I have yet to see the US version, but from my limited knowledge of the US version, Stanley is supposed to be the American version of Sid.
I really liked what you had so far. I do agree now that I googled what Stanley looked like (lol), that they would be cute together. There's something soft about him that kind of matches Grace well. Although my heart will always root for Grace and Rich lmao.
I wish the chapters were longer. It was kind of a hit-or-miss situation with me because I think since their interactions have been very short, it makes sense that the chapters are that short. However, I just wished they were a little longer. Maybe not so much on the dialogue, since I am into the appeal of their short exchange of words, maybe just a bit more of the narration? That's just out of personal reference though lol.
Speaking of dialogue, despite them having a limited amount of conversation, there's just an authenticness about it? Like, neither of them are super clever about what they say. All of it has been natural and awkward, it's actually quite endearing to read. It makes me look forward to future exchanges when they get to know each other and kind of get out of that awkward, "Getting to know you" stage. Plus, it's just refreshing to have dialogue like that as opposed to the other knowing exactly what to say all the time. It feels more relatable.
Shame it hasn't been updated since 2014 though. :( I would have loved to have read more! And definitely see how you also have the other Skins characters interact with the American ones.
