Awww thank you so much! Yea .. I've really put a lot of thought into this one .. this plot is really my own, with echoes of the original (ie: Veil being accused and having to run (as opposed to him really doing it) and Bryony following him later to bring him back to save Redwall *coughcough* spoilers)

Hehe .. *looks around* you and me both .. I really did not enjoy the Outcast much .. because it wasn't really about the outcast. Here's me thinking from the cover description the Veil is going to be a redemptive character, then when I actually started reading I thought Sunflash was the outcast cause you didn't even meet Veil until the second book *facedesk* And beyond that .. the timeline was totally messed up. Ok .. Timballisto died before Martin and never got married, then Timbal has a grandson and Martin died long before he? Erm .. whut? (and did anybody notice that it's been like .. a hundred some seasons since the battle of Mossflower and Sunflash was born maybe .. forty seasons before that and yet from the way he's portrayed he couldn't be over thirty five? *coughcough* And the ending was so messed up. Ok. Outcast rant over. Sorry Outcast fans ...

Cannon Veil just seemed like another selfish vermin .. I couldn't get into the character myself (until the end that is and then I felt terrible pity for him for some reason ..) (I hope I can make you like him as I go .. he was always to be rather solemn and quiet from my depiction of him as a child. I couldn't see him as anything else .. could you? ;P

Ah Aubretia .. yes, she's myself when I have my nose buried in a horse book .. and I have glasses, though I don't use them much (they're for long distances only, so if I tried to drive I'd need them but really they're just for watching movies (cause Sayna is terrified of driving) Hmm .. wow you can do that? o.o I need that done then cause I'm always loosing my glasses .. in fact idk where they are right now :P ) Yea, I donno .. I've had some tell me she was too perfect, others tell me she was too emo (but I can be emotional ... sooo yea my character is ..) I'm glad you think they have their faults ^^

Yup! He has a mace (completely metal) and then a flail (that ball and chain thingy. I forgot it's name while describing it *facedesk*) Haha Catkin .. yep! She's really amazing .. perhaps a little naïve and slow to perceive danger .. but she's the sunshine of the Co. (hence why Cedric calls her that) ;P

Mayberry is a legalist .. she's often blind to danger as her twin .. in a different way .. (yea .. Xzanthia won out pretty fast on that one .. :| ) Yeessss Xzanthia is my favorite villain yet >:D Well .. she's been trained since she was three or five or something, and she has a reason for her hate .. even if her revenge attempts are misplaced .. :/ Yea .. she's spoilt, really. Indeed .. she's saying they don't give her enough credit while acting like she's a kid (which she is) .. and Tyre's like .. *eye roll*

Yea, it was just a trick originally, but I just .. erm .. pounced on that, as I pounce on most little details ..

Mahahaha then my mission has been accomplished! >:D I succeeded on making both sides relatable .. the idea is not this side's evil, this one's good .. it's a world of gray areas in this book .. ;P Yea .. *sniff* I torture Martin and family so .. :'(


 * heehee* yup! I did entirely ^^ Hmm .. *thinks* yea, methinks it's both ;) I'm not sure .. I haven't thought on it enough. But yea, Southsward is probably the most temperate part because of the great, and at this time unnamed river .. the rest of the kingdom is pretty arid ;P Yes! I love jerbilrats, not so much because of their appearance in Loamhedge but because I have pet gerbils ;) So they've sort of been reimagined as well ..

Well .. I sort of changed the map yea. I wasn't sure how there could be a desert between Southsward and Mossflower and yet Southsward be like Mossflower ... I guess it's possible, but I also wanted more variety ;) *rubs paws together* AWFI twists, that .... >;) Oh Cedric .. *gasp* *dies laughing* Yes, I know someone very like him .. yes this person is my 4H club's president .. Oh life. It's crazy sometimes. (no, this person is not my boyfriend .. (You sense correctly ... >:D )

Yep, I wanted to bring them back, of course .. ;D Hmm .. A ship? *whistles innocently* Whoever would a ship a cat with? What? Ivan? Why Ivan ..? lol. Maybe ;)

Bluefen! *sobs* Bluefen do you hear the readers? Listen to them and run for it please!! (No such luck. Forever the plot will be cruel .. ) >_< Yea, she's just going around in depressed, lonely, and hopeless circles .. poor girl .. :'( She's been doing it for eleven seasons too .. (and there are reasons but they are such spoilers ..)

Well, they aren't the mains but yea, we'll see them ;) some more in DmS and TViT <<the veil is torn)) I'm glad you like this so far! :D
