did you pitch the DickBabs story, or did they come to you with "well, we have this idea for a DickBabs story, would you be interested?"
I honestly don’t want to give away too much at this point, but they asked me to do a story and I modified the proposal.
How involved is Scott Lobdell in Convergence? What is his role exactly?
I don’t really know, his section didn’t collide with mine, that I am aware of.

Gettin real tired of all the inter-Batgirl hate.
All the women who have held the title Batgirl love and care for each other. Regardless of what editorial has done, Babs, Steph, and Cass love each other.
This is so important.
I'm sure you've answered this before, but what are your feelings about Dick and and Babs? Are you a shipper, or is convergence just one of many ways Oracle's story could've gone?
I am a shipper.
I loved Dick and Kory, but Dick and Babs is magical stuff for me.
Not to say it can’t be complex, I think they are complex characters, but I think they are dynamite together.
