See, when you can read something like this in a single evening it makes you a sweeter person.
I didn't like "Closure" either. Silly little ghosties.
I stick with my desire for brevity. Hmm. This story could actually be cannibalized to make several shorter pieces. The backstory for Marita is very strong. And the parallels all over with Mulder's past--I'm thinking a kind of circular structure. Maybe messing with time. I really have a feeling that the this-happened-and-then-that-happened approach was wrong.
So all we have to do is contact Elinor and give her my arrogant, mean advice. But I hear betas do that to their victims all the time.
You know--I'm being serious here, which it's sometimes necessary to say--there are differences between the responses of someone new to a specific fanfic and someone who has been reading it twenty years. A certain impatience sets in. But I don't want, truly, to spoil anyone's pleasure.
