If I hadn't been reading silver age crack at 2 in the morning, I probably never would have decided to mesh Brimstone and the DCU just because of a bad pun. I wrote up the first thousand words whilst sniggering to myself loudly over the destined punchline... and then I went to bed. When I woke up, I had entirely forgotten how it was supposed to end. It was - argh! Very annoying.
So I stared at it a couple days and finally patched an ending together out of Cass, Lyle, and Godzilla, and people seemed to like it well enough, which I guess meant they didn't notice what they were missing.
Digging through old comment notifications. Don't mind me.

And really, what more can any writer hope for?
