Well .. it comes down to the fact that I had the story structure planned out (erm .. mostly) but had absolutely no clue how long it would be ;P 13 chapters actually surprised me as well, but then I'd never written a sub-book before. Accused might turn out around thirty or forty chapters, all told .. Dream Seekers begins at chapter 14, instead of one. The main reason is to spare my blog, as it is notorious to start getting flaky at about 15 chapters. (Yea, I've lost more writing that way ...) >_<

Well, I didn't get that as well developed as I would have liked. You know when you've got this really cool subplot/character development thing planned out and then it gets buried in a pile of stuff that needs to be incorporated? Yup .. that's what sort of happened. But at this point I can only go onward and up, and hope I can work the kinks out .. we'll see ;)

Yea, I really hope to bring Mayberry out in The Veil is Torn, and she will be a rather pitiable gray/villain (at least this is my intention) IDK we'll see what happens *shrug* TViT sort of overlaps the end of Dream Seekers at first, because book 2 is mostly focused on Southsward, and book three takes up with Redwall again, incorporates Salamandastron, and brings the Outcast back to save the very ones who accused him. *hehehe*

Now I'm just rambling. Yea, Martin didn't really have a lot to do with Roderick, but he was involved in a manner of speaking (Roderick trying to kill Rose back in FWC) which was enough to make me think I could really creep poor Bryony out there .... ;P

Nope. Not in the least ... you suspect Xzanthia's suspicions very accurately ... >:)

Star .. lol .. my favorite horse ever (seconded by Luna and maybe Glow) Star is a little piece of me, really. Yup, she can't .. she could, but at this point (ASC chapter 9) she can't ..


 * mahaha* Oh yes .. *plots* yea, he is, and as time goes on you'll start to see how exactly ;) Would you believe that once, when I first started laying out 'Accused' foundations, that I had no remedy for Star? It was like, 'Ok, so I've got this horse with the bloodlines to run like the wind, but she can't. Meh. She can run one of the most dangerous races in the Redwall universe and win it. Yea! No problem here! (yea. right. *not* so Cedric had to step in there ;)

lol ... my mother read that aloud (cause she does that for me, to help me catch mistakes) and I was laughing .. I didn't realize how funny it was until I heard it ;P Yea .. he deserved it. He did indeed ;D

I'm glad I brought out their differences ;) Yea, they just .. come from totally different lives, the Co. and Cedric. Yea, Veil, Fripple, and Ivan seriously messed up there ... :| They really regretted that move .. in a way at least. ;P


 * gasp* Why did I not think of this?? *facedesk* this would have been awesome :o I can look past the obvious so easily sometimes ... *headdesk* *cries* Now I want to do this! I sort of added them in at the last minute .. hmm. I wonder if I could sneak back there and quietly rewrite those parts .... mmmm. Dream Seekers is starting to heat up, but still ... still .. really! I so want to do this now! ;P They only problem is they wouldn't really fear fire then, would they? Hmm .. so the only real dilemma is how travelers could protect themselves from attacks. Hmmm .. hmmm .. I've got to think about this one ...
