Thank you very much. I never really considered that this might be 'raw' but I can see how that could apply, since I'm letting Veronica expose a lot of the feelings that she's tended to cover up and hide away.
I am trying to do something very different (in the writing) than I did in YLD, but yes, it's very true that I like to demand that everyone pay a lot of attention while reading my stories. I don't believe that this story will require the extensive note-taking that was necessary for YLD2.
As far as Veronica chasing after Logan, I was going for her having a real epiphany in the first chapter of this story (when she was standing in the ocean with rain pouring down). She's not really explicitly cognizant of her feelings at this point in this story, but she is letting emotions drive her actions more than usual and she's expressing her emotions to both Logan and her dad in a way that she hasn't for quite a while (in the timeline of the show).
I can only write this story if I assume, as Logan said here, that "some people might think that you had a pretty good reason to be a loose cannon," in other words, that there's an explanation for her behavior in season 3. And that makes a story worth telling for me, the things that *weren't* said, *weren't* explored in canon season 3. While we weren't shown any guilt on Veronica's part for the way that she brought all of their worlds crashing down on them at the end of the show, I don't believe that she's a sociopath, and I think she'd be very regretful about the way things turned out.
