I'm flattered you like the fic! I reread that one recently and I almost wish I'd given it a bit more transition and flow, but then it does stand as a short-moments kind of thing, and I hate going back to change something once its posted.
I've just drifted from fandom to fandom and back again so often, that I completely forget to revisit the older ones. I know what you mean about not recognizing your own fic-- my fic style varies dramatically from fandom to fandom, probably because I approach different characters differently. I also reflect the style of my fanfic peers in that community, sometimes.
The question's not offensive: I just usually don't have the will to commit; I think up great story ideas but I lose interest before the writing is complete, or I run into a problem that I don't want to take the time to overcome. The reason I haven't written the epic CB fic I thought of was that I lost the outline and found it a year later, but by then it'd been about 18 months since I'd even watched the show, and I no longer felt comfortable writing the characters. I could have always rewatched and fixed that, but there's always something NEW to watch...
