As I was working on this tale, I also adapted it for You Are Not Alone, an anti-bullying anthology intended for older kids and teens. The most obvious change was to get rid of most of the nudity, but it also needed a less risque resolution that offered a better example of how to handle it, and – since the whole book was about bullying – a less generic title. But I kept some of the eye-candy for any queer boys reading it, because… they deserve to be catered to. And I made a point of keeping the bully’s vulgar language, because I wanted to keep it real. YANA was printed in black-and-white, so I did simple gray tones for it.
