/ZeldaQueen: Does "Fairchild" have some meaning I'm not aware of? I'm sure it's coincidence, but that was also the maiden name of Clary's damsel-in-distress mother in the Mortal Instrument series/
According to http://surnames.behindthename.com, Fairchild means, obviously enough, “beautiful child” in Middle English. So, maybe it is just a coincidence.
/her backstabbing and manipulative best friend, Vee Sky,/
Yes, because why give your female protagonist a female friend who was loyal, dependable, and intelligent? Girls are just shallow, fickle, and catty creatures who will claw each other to death over guys, it’s not like any of us can truly bond together and form lasting friendships like guys can. *rolls eyes*
/ZeldaQueen: He was secretly a woman/
I would laugh my head off if that proved to be the case.
/ZeldaQueen: Oh, really? Then why didn't you change that in the final product? *pointed stare*/
Wait a minute. So, she *doesn’t* think that the current version of Vee is still backstabbing and manipulative? She thinks that the new version of Vee is a great friend and is so much better than her original design? What universe does this woman live in?
/He was still the ultimate bad boy...but now I knew that hadn't always been the case./
If by “bad-boy,” you meant “criminally dangerous and sleazy creep whose yearbook picture reads “Most Likely to Become a Sex Offender.”
/At one point long ago, he'd been upstanding, and something had caused him to change his ways./
*When?* When was he ever upstanding? When he was still an angel? You know, when he cheated on his girlfriend in favor of lusting after some random mortal girl? After he became a fallen angel and stalked and harassed another mortal girl just so that he could get a human body? *When?*
/I knew Patch was a fallen angel. That realization opened up endless possibilities – I could literally make him anything I wanted./
Oh, just like how Meyer can make her vampires anything that *she* wants? “It’s fantasy; I can do what I want!” *groans*
