I have read that story and enjoyed it very much. (This despite the first-person narration, which I am not usually fond of in the slightest.) It could indeed stand to have various stuff trimmed and various other scenes expanded, but it is long enough to get seriously absorbed in, it has lots of thoughtful world-building, and it has a plot that isn't romance. Also, it doesn't forget Ethan, Magenta, and Zack, which is always a bonus. :-)
