Thank you, hexen! I hope people really enjoy it.
Regarding character descriptions, I've done stories that both have a lot of description and exposition and those that are more minimal, jumping quickly into the action. I could sense from the initial discussions between Obsidian and myself that he really put a lot of importance on the profile of the characters for this story, so I spent a bit on giving the readers a good contrast between the two main players. One of my favorite TF stories is a very short digitalcirce piece called Meeting the Shadow Demon, which starts
in medias res with little character description or development. It's interesting to hear different people's philosophies on that when it comes to process-related media.
