Oooh, awesome! And in particular, I love your comment that "I don't see disappointing, I see useful data points" because that sounds like a motto for so many things.

And good grief, is synecdochic ever an epic enabler. (Seriously, in another fannish context entirely, Square Enix should totally give her a kickback, because it's due to her Final Fantasy VII fic that I got back into gaming in a huge way. And in fact, come to think of it, I'd been out of BPAL "fandom" for a good many years before she made this comm and I jumped back in, so that's twice now!)
