Yeah, I agree, thanks! It's been an interesting try, but doing it this way isn't working for me. My output has slowed considerably since I stopped posting the bits I'm writing. (Though it's still going, which amazes me.) I've already decided how to structure the ending, but what's in between is still filtering in and shaping itself willy-nilly. It's fun! Now I have to decide if I'm going to write all the way to the end, and have whatever else comes out as separate fics that are related, or keep the ending back until the thing has exhausted itself and there's no more left to write. Which could be, you know, years, considering the timeline spans three decades, and I still have no idea what Zeke's been up to all that time.

Does the date thing seem important to you? I'm back and forth about it for me, but like I said, it would be no skin off my nose to be clearer about it. :)
