(That said: we're going off-tangent, don't you think?)

Honestly at this point I'm surprised if any thread doesn't eventually spin off into massive tangents regarding the Stellae or Libra minutiae which is fine, just makes me feel a bit left out since that's not really where I run in and I'm much more comfortable just staying small and local and having Will get into someone's head and see the world through their eyes.

The one time I really tried to write a big, magic or Stellae centered branch to its conclusion was that one in TWS and when I went and re-read it some time back I absolutely hated it, thought it was total trash and wondered just why the hell I thought it was decent at the time. Some times I'll dip my toe back in like with Ursula but I hit a point where I start to realize it's just going to be beyond me and stop. Small stories exploring what's going on with X or Y characters, Will connecting with somebody and silly little romances are where I feel much more at home.

I think outside of that TWS story, the only other one where I really involved the Stellae to the end is the Gloria story but it's much more focused on that latter stuff and the bigger magic stuff is basically a hammer brought down late in the story to smash things and bring it to a conclusion. I had toyed with the idea of continuing it in TWS but realized that I just wouldn't know what to actually do with any of it.
