Oh how cool! I use Discord now :) I have a few things to do, but I'll jump on their tonight at some point.
So the novella, as Jed pointed out, is a bit like an alternate universe. It was the original idea for the story, one that was going to be YA, and then obviously changed. But it's fun to see the characters beginnings, I think anyway :) Obviously if you decide to read it you'll blow right through it- since these chapters are about half the size, maybe even less, then the ones from the book.
