The noteworthy thing is, ‘interlopers’ is plural, but ‘a love story’ is singular.
This one’s got some nudity and violence, but nothing that requires a specific content warning beyond ‘mature readers.’
The framing sequence of In the Land of Dreamy Dreams left several loose ends to tie up, including but not limited to how Faye and Lily met, where were driving back from, and why Lily hasn’t murdered Faye during the car ride. I also, more obviously, had to answer the question of where Lily and Sam are walking to at the end of Teenage Werewolf Blues.
I decided to dispense with chapters for this one, and tell the three intertwined plot threads in a single seventy-two story. I suppose it’s the closest I’ve come to what could be called a graphic novel, but I have mixed feelings about the term. At the very least I’ll quote R. Kikuo Johnson from every single interview about No One Else and say, “It’s really more of a novella.”
Introducing the Mystery Douchbro (later known as George) and Faye before the family Wilcox was appropriate as they are the interlopers of the title and hopefully, at least for the length of the story, the applicability of the love story is up in the air. Not to detract from either of those plot threads, but the lycanthropology of the family dynamic is the glue that binds the ensuing hi-jinx together, and most of this story is Lily figuring out that it’s not a joke when the ‘Ganderma call her princess.
