I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have this Idea for what the Hiker is up to, that I might be able to even sort of keep having a vague relationship to canon --- we'll see. (And we'll see if I have time to write it. ^^;;) I figured only like three or four people would both finish my crazy-long story and my silly notes, and hoped those people would enjoy them at least, and so far so good. :)

Oh! I forgot to mention this, but I decided to try the present tense only because you did the whole thing that way and it flowed so cleanly; I use it very rarely but I think it can work really well in this kind of story. You're better at it than me but I think I mostly managed!
