It's Only A Paper Rose

I'm all for it. You could do a lot with these ideas. Remember, sometimes the real twist in a fantasy world is that it can be so like this one - but then not. I especially like it if the boundaries of the alternate world are uncovered as part of the stories and not by the "dull lecture" technique of either narrative or having the main character attend school or be lectured to by a mentor. YA is one of my favorites, think Harry Potter - youth has the energy and idealism that so often falls apart later on. One of the nicest comments I've received lately was from my Sweetheart who said "I love that you have such a strong "childlike wonder" and joy toward life! Go Rose!!! Love, Mum
