I never read this story while it was on fanfictonnet, but when it was uploaded to AO3 I jumped on it right away. I loved the story so much and I've already read it twice since. I just wanted to comment now to say I really liked these reviews that you posted here as well. Other people are more eloquent and have better vocabulary than I to write how wonderful this story is.

I did however leave kudos on AO3, I always do that to a story I like there. It was a long time ago that I read something so angst-beautiful and interesting as Strange Currencies.

Wow, thank you so much. I don't think the story is terribly popular for a number of reasons (length, lack of exploitive material, etc.), but the people who like it really liked it. There is so much of me and my idealism in this story that it means a great deal to me when people relate to it as some have.

Since the show seems to have forgotten about Dave, I needed to continue his story and fill in the gaps. I needed Dave to fulfill his potential as a hero.

Once again, thank you so much for the kudos and for the personal message. As I said, the fact that some people are really taken with this story makes me very happy (and justified in writing the equivalent of over 800 pages about characters from a TV show!).

Yes, he found it very early-on when the chapter-count was in the single-digits (I think Chapter 4 or 5 maybe). He and a few others were promoting it on tumblr before I was on tumblr (I'm still new to this; this story was my first work in fan fiction, and I honestly wasn't aware that fan fiction existed until a few weeks before beginning this piece). Some people have really liked this story, but I think the length can be off-putting. I've angered some people with some of the characterizations as well, but others have applauded the directions in which I took the characters. I hope you can make it past the first few chapters and perhaps enjoy it.
Thanks for your message.
Dan
