>I do feel that Normal has more in common with the Maya fic in terms of its evolution (angst!popcorn being, perhaps, it's long-distant ancestor) than, say, your HP AU Epic.
Oh, Misunderstanding Alarm! I didn't mean the HP AU epic. That has absolutely nothing in common with the Maya fic. If that HP fic has anything in common with anything, it is with the two Life on Mars AU fics I have started. All three have a lot of angst porn but are also intended to tell a longer, coherent story than I'm used to, their main point being to teach me how to do plot (well, actually, the horribly depressing Sam recvoery fic has several other points besides).
What I meant was the quick, throwaway fic 'Together' I wrote in 2003. *That* is very similar to the Maya fic - a focus for a burst of a particular kind of fannish emotion. It started in a very similar way, too - very unconsciously; it basically 'happened' without my ever consciously deciding to write it. Same with the Maya fic - I was half a page into that before I knew what I was doing (and the first half page, which just sort of 'happened', is still the part I like best about it.)
