I thought it might be interesting to reflect on some of the thoughts, influences, and other such stuff that went into the writing of All the Small Things (AtST for short), if only because they're otherwise a bunch of jottings in various notebooks that will probably go astray.
Got a question/comment about AtST? Curious about why I did something a certain way? Want to say something that would be a "spoiler" if you posted it under a chapter? Poke the "Leave a comment" thingy over there and I'll see what I can do.
There are bound to be spoilers below the cut, so if you haven't read the whole story yet, please do that first. It's OK, we're not going to go anywhere. :-)
I've obviously got some ideas of my own, like taking the backs off the characters to see what makes them tick, what I was trying to prove/show, etc, but I'm open to questions/comments from you good people.
