Re: "Two of a Kind Love" Series RP #1: Realization

Hey, Kir....I'll let you in on a little secret....

I've toyed with the idea of the rewrite for a while, but it was your
comment about "By the Swings" being a good epilogue for TKL, that
made me take the plunge. And sorry, but to me, Mona Lisa always
looks smug. I'll paint that smile right off her face given the
chance. ;-)

But you're absolutely right about Faith. That's one of my *many*
quibbles with the story. At the time it was easy to villianize her,
and it was before I truly appreciated the different facets of her
character. She'll still start off bad, but I plan to be more fair to
the humanity in her. She ain't a demon.

And, oh, you shouldn't take cheap shots at people who can't defend
themselves. *shakes head* Tsk, tsk, Kir. For shame.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the rest, too. :-)

Ciao.
