I’ve completed the first draft of a rather long piece of Chrono Trigger fanfiction—with significant motivational help from the Less Wrong Study Hall and Beeminder. It still needs polishing, but it’s generally excellent to see it done. [Edit: I didn’t emphasize that enough. It is awesome to see it done. Like finishing a marathon and looking back down the trail.]
It has no particular rationalist bent. If anyone here is interested in seeing it anyway, you can find the HTML version here, and the PDF version here. It’s about 35k words and would probably take a couple hours to read beginning to end. It may be intelligible even to non-players, I’m not sure. (but I would be interested to find out)
If you’re interested in helping me get it ready for release, please flip a coin to choose the version (so I catch any version-specific problems) and send feedback to error@feymarch.net.
Links fixed, and I rebuilt the pdf/html pages to include changes I’ve made since. I don’t know if I can really call it a draft anymore, but I’m still taking feedback. I never did get it posted anywhere. I plan to fix that this month as part of NaNoWriMo (along with a couple others), because right now I figure polishing and posting stuff I already have is a better idea than writing more.

Consider putting it in a Google Docs document with comments turned on, it’ll make feedback much easier to provide.
Admittedly there are practical size limits to that, but I’m pretty sure 35k is still below that.
Links are dead. Is there anywhere I can find your story now?
