One of the things I've been playing with is the different purposes her
statements can serve. Maybe she's trying to conceal something, or
pointing out something someone else didn't notice... or maybe she's
just stating the obvious.

Writing about the way people deal with romance, relationships and sex
has been a preoccupation of mine since... Ultimate Mercenary, really,
since UM's confusion at to negotiate all that and deal with it by
(poorly) repressing everything was a key theme of that series.

Unexpected continuity is a big part of my aesthetic....

... so is unexpected gay.

I really have no idea myself. I had intended to throw that twist into
the crossover and build on that later (or let other people do it), but
then decided it belonged in this story. So I have no idea where this
is going next. Or how this fits with what we know of AKLCWDW's past.
Or which LNHer, inevitably, is her and Mistake's child. If other
people have thoughts about that I would love to hear them.
