Contemplating myself, my art, and their relationships to the world, as usual. But given that I'm none too good at perceiving anything beyond myself, I need help.

No, that's just my bad wording--I meant the people who were reading my fics two years ago, and who have now read the new edited ones. Which is probably about one percent of the actual fandom.

I've read the originals and the revised.

The revised are truly better; you've gone over them with a more refined writing style. The descriptions are more vivid, the characterizations even more real (if that's possible), and the whole thing is just sooo much better (if that's possible.

I have just learned that derivative fiction can occasionally be the catalist for publishers to release new translations of classics that have a sudden jump in popularity due to derivative novel, movie, or other influence.
