This is so screwed up I am just putting that out there. Oh, Will. Look at your life. Look at your choices. WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

I like the interview bits, though, it's a very nice juxtaposition between what everyone thinks is happening with what is actually happening. And Leigh is creepy. Moar plz!

I know, I know. And Will is...well, I'm starting to fall in love with him (and Leigh) just for totally going for it. He is totally his parents' son ^^ (And a product of being sort of joint raised by the KIN crowd).

That's what I got so that I enjoyed about the interviews - that the others just DIDN'T know what Will knew, but there was also a bit of them having a clue that things are not as they seem. I'm just glad they worked! Leigh IS creepy, but somehow I don't find her nearly as creeptastic as, say, Chris.

My next project with them is probably a Romantic Bunnies FB.

Oh my goodness, this arc sounds absolutely awesome! I would love to read more superCaramel when you have the time. :D These future characters seem really interesting.

And Flame! She reminds me of Scarlet Blackledge, right down to the phoney nom de plume. I think the difference is that Scarlet, despite being batshit insane, is a little more loveable what with her Barbie jewellery and lashings of lipstick. I love reading about descriptions of fire as much as I love writing them and you did a pretty good job. :D

The dynamics between Will and Leigh seem interesting. Epic lifelong rivalry is what I have in mind.

What I have figured out of it so far, it is pretty cool! I haven't really ever had an opponent for their parents/KIN that has lasted long, so it's fun playing with someone who does. I will definitely write more superCaramel once I get some of my new flavors done. Plus, I need to plan the next piece, which, as I told Marina, will probably be another FB. I'm really starting to fall in love with this group of characters, which is BAD!! (but awesome at the same time :D - I still blame you and Vinnie).

Flame/Leigh is really a ball to write. There is a lot more going on underneath all this and I'm having fun figuring it out. She DOES seem a lot like Scarlet! Leigh has her loveable (or at least less KILL moments), which will probably show in the next FB. Thank you! I'm glad my fire descriptions worked out okay.

It's not exactly lifelong, but it is totally epic for the 4-5 years that he and Leigh really go at it! Their dynamic is...special. Very, very special...

Thanks for reading and I apologize for the long comment :P

Ooh, well I'm really looking forwards to seeing loveable!Leigh, because that just makes villains a thousand times more interesting. :D And more of the dynamics between her and Will of course!

Awesome format, alternating between the interview and the actual scene. I love how they contrast off each other. And Will, I think, has gone and just gotten himself into a ton of trouble.

[niee87]

Thank you! I wanted to play with the format here and I had one of the sections in my mind before I ever really planned it, so it went from there. Contrast was definitely my aim so I'm glad it worked :) Will is in over his head, no doubt about that!

Thanks a lot for reading!
