Jose Carlos Soto

The first "Hedge" will be the last of the revisions that I will do during this month of August and with it I will say goodbye to my beloved characters forever.

With the beginning of the month, I will begin work on the first photographic Tent of this season, Tent 74, to continue, later, with the projects paused for this month of revisions.

The original edition has been modified, almost in its entirety, to perform a farewell number for Valeria, as she herself would have done at the time, but it is better that Analia tells us about it in the intro to this Seto:

As Soto promised, on Thursday Seto Verano was already uploaded to our servers and the same day, at dawn, I received a call from the author to summarize how they planned to face the last seven days of the month. Although the cover of Carpa 74 had already been designed and the staff was ready to begin work on the issue, Paquita, Dorita and Soto planned to make a formal request to the editorial authority to convert the first and last issue of Seto into a special volume, out of series, to say goodbye to Valeria Cuesta Anton as she deserved and as she herself would have done, had she had the opportunity to publish it.
Sometimes I forget, but Jose Carlos enjoys certain prerogatives, given his special status, that allow him to directly address the higher echelons of this editorial mandate without having to consult me ​​as his director. On screen he told me that all this was nothing more than claptrap that, if he had to recognize any executive authority, this would be mine. Nothing had made him happier than my decision to include him in the newsroom as one more editor and that is why he turned to me to ask for my opinion on his project and if so, if I would accompany the three of them on Saturday morning in their presentation . Sarcastically, he added that everything would be easier that way, since there was the possibility of finding Julia Balsameda Garcia on all fours, in any cabaret: -you know girl, giggle mode in 3, 2, 1... For my three editors, my support was essential and without it, there was no point in submitting your petition. In addition, Soto added that since the entire newsroom, including Marisol, was back at work, they could, at the end, drink, drink and dine all together, in that order, charged to their expense account.
The three of them had thought of completely modifying the first Seto and preparing it for Valeria's big goodbye. Dorita would revamp the entire cover and redo its graphic design with direct associations to Carpa 1408, Paquita, for her part, decided to eliminate the poetic works included in the third section and assign them a new role in the publication and take on the entire design of the magazine. They would only keep intact, in quotes, the sections dedicated to the new friends of the protagonists and the erotic fotonovela that fired that number and that was mentioned in Carpa 18. In short, the revision would keep very little of its past and could be considered the announcement of a future that never happened and would reinforce the open ending of the series.
I must admit that, at first, I did not take their initiative very well and just when I was about to deny my participation in their project, on the screen of my terminal, the images that they had selected to support their request began to parade. .


The original Hedge will be removed from the servers because as I have written these last few weeks, so many times, it no longer makes any sense to keep it.
