Featured story of the Month for January 2009: Life According to Baylee
mare:
Yay! I love when these threads are nice and active and the people who have read the story participate, it make's Oprah's job a lot easier. LOL
I do have one question for you and I hope no one has asked it yet. How did you decide who would take care of Baylee after Brian died? Did you ever go back and forth with different scenerios in your head like giving him to Brian's parent's?

Well...I kinda already explained this a little...but the idea came to me, at work. The original idea was of Baylee being left in Nick's care, after something happened to Brian and Leighanne. Seriously...th at's exactly what I thought and I was like "Holy shit! I don't think anything like that has ever been done!" So, I never even thought of using a fictional child or leaving Baylee with anyone else. I stuck with that concept and just built on it.

Sorry, I looked for that answer but didn't see it lol Cat's out of the bag, I guess now you all know I can't read :P
Did you ever worry that readers would get nitpicky (like they do with many stories) and start pointing out the legalities of appointing a guardian that isn't a relative? Or did you figure that creative licence would make people happy enough if they were concerned?
