I'm so glad you like it. I was really concerned with how far I could go in terms of creating new characters and events because I know this is a universe you've created with someone else but had no idea where it was going or if you were still writing it. The last thing I wanted to do was contradict anything you'd written or planned to, so I really hope I didn't step on any toes here.
You did such a great job with the original. After I read it, even though I'd only been to Boston once, and only for the weekend, I remember thinking, "Yeah, this is what Boston feels like." And I knew I couldn't recapture that, so I tried to recapture what John and Rodney felt like in the original, all the moments we didn't get to see but that contributed to the moments we did see.
I think of remixing like gift giving and I've gotten so much from fandom that I wanted to give a good gift back. I hope I have, and thanks for the kind words.
