I read the story more like someone who didn't know the fandom at all, and unlike much of fanfiction that's dependent on the reader's knowledge of the relevant canon, I was able to follow the story as well as if it had been original-characters fiction. I was drawn in and interested and involved with the characters right from the beginning of the story.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it, even with your limited familiarity with the characters. That's a really fine compliment, since it can be so easy in fanfiction to just assume that the reader knows these characters and totally disregard the fact that they might not and write the stories without taking that into account. I know I'm guilty of it from time to time; we all probably are. So knowing I was able to write something that can work for both those familiar with the show and those who aren't is very good to know. :)
