As everyone in Southern California probably knows by now Cobalt has been going through some big little changes which have not really effected me that much since I live at home. It has been nice seeing the "company" get back to it's roots.
It was nice meeting the new East Coast Cobalt family in Philadelphia, unfortunately we won't be asking them to downsize, Consider Pacific Hills the "suburban" campus of Cobalt.
August
Notes on August. I started having these disjointed thoughts about the characters and came up with 6 standalone ideas even before I finished Litany Lane. I'm content with the two I've posed (Trivia : The Storm was actually intended to be and written first)
All of that is to say that there has been a sequel stewing. I know I know I didn't see it coming either but I picked up hints in LL and it is very different.
Different How ?
I'm finding that the sequel will mess with a concept I used in S&A in chapter 17. The idea of telling a story out of order. I have about 13 (2 that were meant for August) chunks that go in no order (some make no sense at all) and still need some glue. . . this should be very interesting. I should also stop watching Supernatural reruns.

Mr & Ms : Meta Answer
So some of you commented on why the characters still call each other Mr. Fierro and Ms. DeLune. I think character-wise they are just used to it and although it wasn't intentional it does come off almost like a Jane Austen novel (Joel, has copies in his office. I skimmed).
Update
This next story sets up for one of the concepts (it's really obvious) in "The New Project" and is based on a picture that has been sitting on my desktop for a while. !
