yay Vel! this is such a brilliant universe!

[seanan_mcguire]

I'm glad you like it.

Now ignoring the potentially serious stuff later in the story, I've got "Eat the bacon. The bacon is freedom" in my head.

[seanan_mcguire]

Yay!

[melchar]

Best line ever! Bacon equated with freedom? Works for me. Tasty, TASTY freedom!

Oh. My. What just happened to Tad? And did Jackie have something to do with it?

By the way, I finally had time to read "Rat-catcher", which I loved, and the Velveteen Vs book. The latter was particularly interesting rereading, given what you've written about Vel since those stories. You are, as always, an excellent writer.

Teddy bears attack! I need to work that into conversation, or a sampler for my studio wall, or something.

[seanan_mcguire]

Awesome. I'm so glad!

Glittery light stabilizes superheroes and possibly brings them back from the dead?

That... that actually makes perfect sense.

[seanan_mcguire]

Only if the Princess is around.

[droewyn]

Yay, new Velveteen!

Editing nitpick: "she had always been fond of physical expressions of her frustration had always appealed to her."

I don't actually need nitpicks here? Everything will be gone over with a fine-toothed comb before the book. But thank you.
