Not to interrupt your conversation, but I read SNAFU and Stand in the Ruins today (and I'm in the midst of a review!), and then re-read Scarred, and I thought it worked fine. Scarred was a little ambiguous, missing a few details--you wrote that fairly early on, so I'm guessing you didn't know exactly how everything was going to turn out, with SNAFU and Stand in the Ruins? I wasn't sure exactly when it took place (though I was reading carelessly enough to miss any clues), but it seemed like a few weeks after Stand in the Ruins. I thought the transition went well, and readers probably wouldn't notice the difference. The characterizations were pretty convincing even though you wrote Scarred a lot earlier than its prequels.

I was going to ask this in my review, but I may as well do it here. Considering you just had to stick in the middle stories and everything feels resolved, is this the end of the Beg Me For It series? Except for the drabbles? Sorry if you've answered this question before!
