Yeah, that's what I'm starting to think. I did so that the story he told would blend in more with the larger narrative, but I guess I did sort of make it confusing that way.
!!! Oh wow, one of my favorite devices ever -- characters telling stories that may or may not reflect their own circumstances. I especially love Mytho's characterization and the rhythm and, well, pretty much everything about it. Thank you so much!
Personally, I really enjoyed the no quote marks thing (though it took me a couple of paragraphs to get the hang of it). It made it seem more like we were being told a story about a story.
(Haha when I wrote in the little form that I tended to feel picky about fanfics you were pretty much the main exception I had in mind as someone whose fics I always love. I lucked out!)
Thank you! I am so so happy you enjoyed it; I was a little worried when you said you were picky about fanfics. Honestly, I feel like I lucked out when I got you as my giftee, since our interests jive so much.

I think it would've been good to use quotation marks, though. It was difficult to tell who was speaking sometimes.

But thank you! The lack of quotation marks was an experiment I was trying, one that may or may not have been successful.

I'm not reeeeally sure if it added anything TBH, although part of it might be that my teacher has been carefully beating proper grammar rules into me.
