Sometimes random ideas just bite. And sometimes they join up
with other random ideas and manage to form a coherent story as a result.
A Fistful of Trade
Creds was one of those moments. The original concept for the fic come
together over a (fantastic) dinner in my favourite Chinese Restaurant as a
result of making fun of some in-jokes. It ballooned from there, attaching itself
to other stray ideas before reaching its finished form. Surprisingly enough, unlike
many of my fics, there were no major re-writes or redevelopments along the way.
While this fic runs parallel to the Grand Theft Agro series, it’s not really a part of it. There are no
major GTA characters in it, and it doesn’t really affect the overall plot. On
the other hand, it does continue the story of some of the minor characters.
