We did indeed have a fine ping pong match, Felix! Saddie's road is not one easily traversed. The world she lives in and her involvement with darker elements are far from what the average teen deals with. (Her environment, profession and her personality makes her far from average and yet, she still has relatable trials and feelings that an average teen would have to contend with. )
Thanks to this set of stories, the lovable Goat has found two strong women (who have lived through their own hardships and triumphs) to give her support and be models of how one woman can use her strengths to make a difference in the world.
Again, Felix, thank you letting me write along with you!
Indeed we did @brisby, thx for the collaboration once again. We did tackle a tough subject, but we made sho' to dig a good path for Saddie and avoid tropes that put her down to the Earth for merely existing as a teen in a tough World. I love yah <3
