I really, really hope all the chopping I've been doing to TMT will make it look good in the end. I feel like I'm taking something sort of essential out, but because I don't feel my intentions regarding it translated well, it's for the best--even if nothing was ever going to come of it to begin with. Maybe especially because of that; wouldn't want people to feel led on, or anything. It's okay that the implication is still there, as long as it isn't focused on too much.
It's moments like these I wish I'd made Gwen older, but at the same time, I don't see a lot of 15 year olds in YA. It always seems to be 16 and up. Not that it was a particularly conscious choice on my part; just seemed a good age. *shrug*
