Heh, I think several people on my f-list didn't like it :)

Oh good! I'm further reassured :) (So, SO anvilicious. And, yeah, I basically did not believe that anyone would actually have this conversation via footnotes, so that contributed to the story not working for me. But also, this was the one story where I disagreed with the theme.)

but I felt like the worldbuilding... did not adequately explain why you would be mashing up Topsy and the radium girls.

No, I didn't think it did, either. And I felt like there was a lot of worldbuilding piled on top of each other which was interesting but didn't really cohere into a believable whole. I did like the elephant sign language, though!
