Congratulations on posting all the parts successfully! And thank you for playing, and for your commitment to this prompt. It's going to take me a while to read the whole story, I'm afraid, but I wanted to note that up front.

We did indeed finally get everything posted-and I say "we" with reason, as you know.

"..thank you for playing, and for your commitment to this prompt."

You're welcome. And you put your finger on the nub of it: commitment to the prompt (or, more accurately, the idea it generated). I knew going in that it would be long; but I must admit that I had been thinking novelette-long, not novel-long. The story had its own ideas-and took me along for the ride.

Holy cow! I saw you in comments talking about your story, but I never thought it was mine!

*flabbergasted*

I have work and a cocert today, so I'm not sure if I'll get to read this all in one go, but I just wanted to say in advance--thank you so so so much!

You're welcome. Mind you, I do think the idea that the stories one writes in a ficathon are "gifts" is something of a legal fiction. If they are gifts, then it is surely to the fandom. Or perhaps one gives one's time...to the story itself.

In which regard, of course, I should probably thank you for coming up with the inspiring prompt.
