Yes, once again the mind reading. We remain in sync. That is exactly what it is. We are given these armatures upon which we can shape the figures we know in our minds. It is a time-saver and that little push off dead center which once given keeps us careening down the hill. I find equal pleasure in being canonical and playing AU; it is all part of the Great Game. We have found things the original designers never dreamed of and made them integral to the characters. Who would dare deny that is creativity?
LIke you, I have no wish now to publish. Too many trees are sacrificed to the vanity of poetasters and their fiction equivalents as it is. I have done the occasional backwoods vignette and shall continue to do other things as I am so moved. But for now, the permission to live in Spira when I wish is enough. And, again like you, readers are a glorious luxury not a need. The need is to write.
I am grateful to you for putting this down so accurately and eloquently. A toast to fanfic and all the pluses and minuses it entails. Hoch!
