Although I like the name "Kenzie" as a nickname better than I like "Mack." I'm not too fond of her grandmother, though.

Let me also take a second to say, as part of the mostly-silent majority, I really enjoy the story. There's nothing about it that's enough to shake my suspension of disbelief.... And after your previous entry, I thought I should speak up a bit and let you know.

...Mackenzie's grandmother had the best intentions...her methods just sucked.
Best intentions don't make someone a good person though...

Prior post was mine.

"l'Enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions"=> more or less "Best intentions are the paving stone of Hell"

prior post was mine.

"l'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions" => more or less "Best intentions are the paving stone of Hell" (meaning that the best intentions may lead to bad action)

Actually, according to Emmanuel Kant, the only tuly good thing that one can possess is good will. Everything else can be twisted for evil....

Jus' sayin ^^

I agree, actually, my brother mutilated the spelling of Mackenzie so that no one could call his daughter mack.. instead she's called Kenzie.

I've got a better one - my fiancee's name is Kinzi - which her family decided to call her when they realized Mackenzie would apparently be too cumbersome. She doesn't even understand why Kenzie wouldn't have worked.

BTW, love the story. I've been reading for a couple months now, and I think it's great. Never mind what people complain about, your system is your system, and it makes plenty of sense.

Really? I thought the fact that her Friends call her one half of her name while her Grandmother calls her the other was an interesting way to separate those parts of her life. Different people see different parts of her, but only she calls herself by her full name, only she sees the whole...
Too many english lessons deconstructing other people's literature...? Maybe

That is a thoughtful and interesting way of looking at this subject. Thanks for the insight.

I love the story thank you for putting it up for all to enjoy.
