Sincerely: As Elli’s mentioned before, writing Stone was a real challenge. He’s gotta sound smart and he’s gotta be manipulative without reading as manipulative. The contrast between his levelheadedness and Jack’s hyper-emotionalness (or Vigi in ch.3) really does half the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Elliwiny: What is that, protein powder and TV Dinners? The hell kind of diet are you on, Stone? Okay this ice pack is clearly based on one I’ve got in my own freezer, but it would have been fun to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
