I have written a peculiar story quite different from my ponies-and-economics oeuvre. It is called "...Long Lived Sonata Dusk," based on the story "Long Live Sonata Dusk." It is a story about death and an effort to seek an alternative. I do not know that it fits in well with the popular subject matter here, but I do not know that it does not, either. I recall HJPEV being rather displeased with the actuality of death, and I probably would not have thought to do ponies-and-economics without that inspiration--that is, the inspiration of education fanfiction, not his particular attitude toward death. So perhaps someone here will enjoy it.

I also seem to be having some trouble using the illusion of transparency to my advantage. I am sure I recall it being mentioned as an important tool in the crafting of HPMOR. So perhaps some of you will have some suggestions in that regard.

The Illusion of Transparency is actually a terrible disadvantage in writing. You think you've given the readers enough evidence to work something out on their own, but you can never quite tell.
