  That's the background on the story. For those who like to dig deeper into the meaning and context of a story, perhaps that's given you something to chew on.

No contracts, no deadlines, no artificial rules imposed on myself. I had decided that the world could do whatever it wanted, and I would just write what I loved even if it never got published.

  So, of course, the following year this story got a Writers of the Future nod and Elantris got picked up by Tor.
