1) I had a period where I just wasn't sitting down to write anything, so I started following comment_fic and that challenged me to just do it, to just get writing, and that worked really well for me. Most of my Licorice Allsorts series on AO3 are comment fic prompts.
2) I really enjoyed distilling my thoughts on each of the Firefly crew into a couple of lines for each of them, and reading back over this each section is still pretty much how I see the building blocks of each character, their basics.
3) I have a lot of thinky thoughts about the role of children and teenagers in literature, how they're the subjects of change and the focal point for possibility. Most of those thoughts I didn't form properly until long after this fic was finished, but here they are again: River Tam, the 'child' and point of change for Firefly is the one who's life is different - There is time and space yet for her to grow into whoever she will be.
bonus 4) I really like that one of Simon's patient's named a hamster after him.
