that is a different series - the stuff in it did not happen for these new versions of the characters.
Says who? Current evidence indicates that the other series is simply set later on in their lives than this one.
Na, though not impossible I seriously doubt it. I think She wanted to start the story over - same characters and setting, but a bit earlier on in time for the new magazine published version.
If you go read the earlier ones you will find TONS of plot devices and whole scenes reused in the new one - sometimes changed a bit or partial, sometimes exactly the same - like falling off the ladder master catches, smelling masters shirt, running out of clothes having to wear masters shirt, saying she is wide open from the back, the flash-back to Mels school, etc etc etc - there are LOTS of examples.
If the author meant it to be a prequel - (one that the new magazine readers wouldn't know about anyways if she didn't tell them they exist, which she didn't)- It makes no sense to me that they would reuse loads of material. We expected to believe all these little events perfectly repeat in a couple of years time?
Because most of the magazine readers will not know the older self published stuff and it is NOT listed as a prequel, it is ok to reuse bits she likes.
