I'm so glad you read it! I wanted to portray the part of the scene that people tend to ignore, and really, that *is* the reality for many people in the lifestyle. (Though, I'm not sure that many are as asexual as Harry seems to be in this fic...)
As for ignoring 6 and 7... I went out of my way to be canon-compliant last year. (I've actually usually written fics that are canon-compliant through to whatever has been written.) This year I figured it would be fair to destroy it.
