Oh, please feel free to write a Lana coda to these essays! I hummed and hahhed about writing her into the earlier ones, but she only partially functions as a heroine in her own right. In those early plots in particular she is the obvious 'goal', 'trophy' or 'princess'. But I *do* have things to say about her later on.

You are totally right--I should really have explored Lana here. That I didn't is only testament to me finding this the least relevant SV plot structure: it's not that it's not there, it's just I don't think they do anything interesting with it. Feel free to find me wrong! If I've overlooked anything major, it's likely to be with this one!
