Very interesting, facinating fic.

I am, of course, blown away. This entire story was so artfully done, weaving in and out of cannon seamlessly; making Echo interesting.

I especially love 'Palimpsest' because weird cerebral dream things are hard to do just right and you did it fucking amazing.

The 'The Bundle Theory of Self' is a close second, just because it's like the intro lunchroom scene in a teen movie, only the lunchroom is Echo's head, which makes the whole thing doubly crazy. Actually I suppose it's more of 40+ people trapped in a room but the room is someone's brain and that must be even weirder if you are that personality and I'm stopping now I swear.

Your comments never fail to cheer me up!

I'm glad the wacky mind-wipe dream sequence worked for you - I couldn't tell if it would hold together for the readers or if it only make sense in my own weird brain :)

The Bundle Theory of Self comes from me wondering how Echo acted like such an individual when there was a three-ring circus going on in her head. There had to be some conflict between all those people in there!

Thanks for your comments, and for organizing this ficathon.
