(Feh, LJ's not emailing comments to this account!)
I would sincerely, truly (truly madly deeply) appreciate any supportive pimping. I'm not on a lot of groups, and just hate advertising anyway, even though I know I should do it.
It is an odd piece of work, definitely. Sometimes I feel like working more within the fandom would be a bigger challenge, but all the fic I've written over the years (not a lot) and the stuff I've enjoyed most has been on the periphery of canon, playing fast and loose with the characters and throwing in a lot of original material. So as much as I feel like a loser for not using the constraints of the form to my advantage -- rules and conventions can be a good thing -- I'm not likely to produce something that's perfectly canon-worthy. (If I write that New X-Men fic I've been thinking about, it will be as an experiment in writing more fannishly.)
God, I hated Joel during the middle section. He gets more bearable as his real personality and values emerge, but my notes were full of frustrated remarks in the margins.
There shall be crises and conspiracies and romance and all manner of things in the sequel. It's more plot-heavy and will probably be longer.
