I think everyone has some perspective they can offer with original work... I don't disagree, exactly. I will say my origfic mostly wasn't offering that perspective; my fanfic definitely does. Whether it's just that I've grown as a writer since then and any origfic I wrote now would also have something to say? I dunno. Maybe. But no origfic story is kicking me in the pants to write it, so...
And hooray for having an origfic verse that you love, and still enjoying writing Hornblower fic, too. Win-win is a delight. :-)
Oh, granted, there is a certain aesthetic beauty to long division -- if I don't have a calculator at hand I certainly take real pleasure in doing it longhand. But if I'm testing a proposition and just want to get to a yes/no quickly and the calculator is right there... ;-)
Tides -- here you go! Once I was able to figure out the terminology, it was a fairly straightforward chapter. Navigatio Britannica: Tides
And it destroys me to say it (what with my lying here murdered and all), but beloveds are more important than stories: take all the time you need. And have a lovely time together!
