To whom it may concern

In cheerier news than my flight from France (which in the end was made easy by no one asking questions at reception when I left), my drafts of the Spikeid's last three books are now complete! Betaing and editing is still in progress, definitely, but the hard part is done and the end is in sight. I'm so excited! (And a little relieved to be free...)

One thing I would really like to do, though, is put together an introduction post for the whole fic, hopefully explaining things people haven't quite 'got' along the way. Like the title. And why it isn't just prose. So what I'd love to know here is anything you've been confused by, especially people who've started to read and then found themselves too lost/bored to continue. Tell me all your issues, even if they're just 'I don't like poetry'!

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, my twelve-book post-NFA epic poem is archived up to book IX here. I'm just about to go off and start revising book I in time to post with the ending, but the story's all there and II-IX I'm happy with!

So, yeah, hassle me with your thoughts, people!
