Heh, it actually kind of is. WG is very much not telling the truth when he insists that oh, he's nobody in specific and doesn't know anything about this, but I'd been sort of hoping to keep that fact hidden until later.
There is a particularly nasty piece of work, the Villain's Hounds (like the Nazgûl and Gmork from "The Neverending Story"), I'd been planning to send after FMC. In an earlier draft FMC had gone to Warrior Woman's office and didn't buy any part of what she had to say, her attitude was more or less "lady, you're crazy, let me go home now." Then the Hounds showed up to warn her off and that was what made her change her mind about staying out of it. If there are things like that taking an interest in her, she wants this business done. I'd decided not to do that because I thought it pushed the start of the story back too far, but if I could find a reason to get them in there earlier it might work well.
