Doing It for the Art: Both Cyclone and Cody Fett have admitted that they are writing the story for their own enjoyment. Many discussions with the story's readers on Spacebattles (particularly regarding the copious amounts of Dramatic Irony in the story) has caused them to become disillusioned and convinced that the story won't appeal to anyone as it continues. But they continue to write it as a labor of love, having a story they want to tell in their own way.
Why the Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: The large uproar caused by the Dramatic Irony present throughout the story (which thread users refer to as "secrets and lies") led to the authors outright banning the topic from the thread entirely. They later rescinded the ban, though mainly because Volume 3 revolves heavily around the very topic and leaving it banned would stifle most discussion in the thread.
