For instance... Say an author bases a character off the short kid in fifth grade who ALWAYS wore cat ears and a cape to school (and got in trouble more than once for trying to climb the walls). I want those types of stories. That would be awesome.Betwixt the Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256514164664008906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622477097361465.post-37394301415163860252015-12-07T19:08:18.090-08:002015-12-07T19:08:18.090-08:00MUSIC!
