Things Learned From Writing the Original Fic [Partial List]:
- "retool" apparently means "take the entire back 3/4ths, which includes the majority of the plot, and chuck it out the window"
- It's easier to write when you actually like what you're writing, and not just trying to finish the damn story.
- I can apparently write some really fucked up stuff (okay, we all knew this already)
- I amuse myself by including cultural appropriation in the other direction. (Because the Chinese-descended Emperor of the space-faring human race would could totally pick out Roman imagery because it looks cool and keeps those pesky Westerners happy.)
-- Okay, that might be the history of anime-watching influencing my brain.
- I never want to write in Word again. I loves you, LaTeX!

The stupid headings that took me roughly 20 minutes to look decent took me 45 seconds after finding the right LyX incant and look 10x better.
I know that's all the industry uses, but it doesn't make it any less painful.
