* DearNegativeReader: Seeing as the author's Pet Peeve is people assuming that she doesn't know what she's doing in cases where she's made it clear that she's planned things out far in advance, she occasionally adds an author's note addressing whichever issue is the most relevant at the moment and reminding people that yes, she is very well aware of how it looks, and no, she's not going to retcon the element out just because some people think it's stupid. The one in chapter 27 was actually received fairly well by readers:
-->'''Phoenix:''' I have to tell you something about the {{OC}}s that many of you don't seem to realize.
-->They're necessary.
-->They're a logical outcome of Robin's presence.
-->They represent a tie-in to other canon characters that I need to bring in, and would have an awkward time doing so otherwise.
-->There are no canon characters in the manga that could fulfill their role. Perhaps in anime filler, but I only read the manga, so I wouldn't know.
-->So please, please, PLEASE stop bugging me about them. They are there for a reason, and the reason is a good one.
