deleted ideas- one of my original ideas was that sooyoung and sunny would run away with sungmin as an attempt to delay their donations, and I was going to get into the more sexual aspects of the book. this didn't happen because a) it upset the balance between each snippet, and b) I can't write sex to save my life.

background canon- shinee and f(x) weren't academy students. in an earlier draft of yoona's part she called the academy the "sm" academy and I remember taking it out for this exact reason. in retrospect, I don't know why I did this.

the future- although it took years, jessica did find a publisher that wanted the publicity that would come with such a controversial topic. not surprisingly, her book was a favorite among righteous college kids, but she completed before its release.
