I enjoyed the similarities drawn between transness, vampirism, and archives. It was really interesting to think of the main character whose body was essentially frozen in time at the beginning of his transition. I thought the approach to vampirism as a condition was really interesting and unique as well. The touch of a world in which vampires are common knowledge, and yet society not evolving to be accessible for them is unfortunately realistic.
I found the descriptions of the fictional Feet of Clay fascinating. An interesting take on that era of sci-fi programming. I was amused that some of the arguments the characters are now embarrassed about are still being re-hashed in fandom today!
The relationship between the two leads was too based on sex/sexual desire to really be interesting to me, but I liked the personal character growth it brought to each of them.
