But probably not many people will be able to describe the more subtextual dynamics quite as well as M. McHugh did. Instead you'll get kids saying things like, "My [mom/dad/so-called life] is just like that!" <BR/><BR/>Here's something I don't know if you intended to telegraph or not, but I was glad to see it (even if it turns out my wires were crossed and I'm making it up out of whole cloth): There's room for ordinary, even slightly gauche people in Califa too! So many of your citizens and denizens seem to be gifted with supersized globs of innate "cool." Take Ban ... yikes! downright intimidating! -- and Udo and Val seem like they're on a fast track to hipsterdom. But for me Flora was really true-to-lifesized and approachable from beginning to end, very easy to identify with, yet still a completely effective heroine. I liked her a lot.
