A 32,000-some-odd word fic is too long to write commentary on the whole thing, so rather than try to take it apart, I figured I'd write about the overall piece and process. Hopefully it'll provide some entertainment value.

( One of the best pieces of creative advice I've ever seen is to be willing to get inspiration from bad works along with the good. It works to give me a good kick in the pants to get out of a creative funk - I'll go to the library, look at some of the terrible stuff in the fiction section, remind myself I can do better character development, and afterwards I'll feel better and be a bit more jazzed to write something. )
