Oh. OH. This is so good. You continue to be the queen of SF Saiyuki AUs. You've got all the PKD paranoia and questions about reality, and the 585 hotness, and all the little nods to the other characters, and it just makes me want to flail about wildly making incoherent gibbering noises... :)

Thank you! I'm really delighted that you like it. I'd only seen the movie and not actually read the book when I first picked up the prompt. It was a real eye-opener to see how different the plot of the two media versions were, and the paranoia/questioning reality aspect of it was really one of the things that fascinated me.

Hee. I'm running out of things to fuse with Saiyuki, though. In the grand scheme of things, I really don't read huge amounts of SF. ^_^

PKD is pretty much *made* of paranoia and questions about the nature of reality...unsurprising, given that man's rather odd life story.

And heh, I don't read all that much F&SF much these days either -- I devoured the stuff as a child/teen but sort of drifted away from it in my early 20s, beyond a tiny handful of favorite authors that I kept following; it's only recently, with recs from you and chomiji and others, that I've started dipping my toes back into the genre again.

Yeah, that's pretty much the story with me, as well. I have a few favorite authors that I'm still following, and occasionally I'll pick up something new, but really I haven't been a devoted fan since college (manga has pretty much taken over that spot on my hobbies list, for better or worse).
