Well then! I suppose Sevvie and I shan't be putting you on the guest list come June~
But seriously, I think it's great. It makes me happy that you two are having such fun with it; it must help that there are two of you, because having someone to flail at and feed off and fangirl must be desperately necessary when your fic grows to resemble the monster from the Black Lagoon.
I also dislike unnecessary author meddling, but I've never minded being told, well, this is what I was thinking when I wrote it, this is how I was interpreting my own text. I've never felt like the author's opinion in any way disqualifies my own interpretation, but it can shed new light on the story, and on the crafting of it. And I do so love to learn.
So um. Don't, I suppose, be afraid of explaining how you arrived at a certain point, since you make it very obvious you're okay with your readers having travelled a different route.
