alix! you're SO fun to play with. i love the life and dimensionality you breathe into your characters, and how studied and real they both feel. you're really making me relive my love for the uglies series daily, and i'm truly obsessed with tally and all of her choices (the choices you're giving her!). and mothwing is an utter delight. oh to be an agéd lesbian cat disillusioned with the world... i want to be her when i grow up.
