I'd like to give huge props and thanks to my artists:

profoundrice, every time I look at that poster, it's even more awesome. You rock! =)

kisforkurama, I have to admit, I was dying to see the fanmix, since we haven't talked in a while and I had no idea what it had turned out like. The song selection is (often hilariously) fitting, and the pics you chose are perfect. The one for the back cover especially makes me crack up every time I look at it. Thanks again!

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW ABSOLUTELY EXCITED I WAS TO READ THIS. :D :D :D :D You built such a rich, vivid world, and your writing is filled with so much awesome like Somewhere in Ohio, Sue Sylvester was smiling that I just can't. <33333 ARGH, STILL CRINGING at the elective brain surgery though. ;__; (Ngl, I love Marion and his evilness.)

"Well, it's a good thing you're pretty, because you sure ain't smart."
LOL omg Finn. <3

BASICALLY, READING THE REST OF THIS WAS THE BEST THING EVER. YOUR FAILY KURT IS THE BEST THING EVER. I'm all hearteyed about this fic and your writing. Thank you for writing this: it was so much fun to read and draw for, and working with you was a blast. :) And thank you for your honesty when I was all "FLOATING HEADS, Y/Y?" because that was some serious good sense fail on my part lol. :D :D

kisforkurama: I can't DL the fanmix you've made just yet, but I love the pics you chose! (And the track listing looks great!) I'm really excited to sit down and listen to it. :)

This was amazing, you guys! The effort you've taken in creating this universe in which people have these abilities is astounding. I really like the mysterious backstory which is never fully explained; Kurt's/his family's story, what happened in Lima with Burt's death, the terrifying Papillon etc. The poster looks awesome and unsettling. I haven't yet listened to the fanmix, but I like seeing the Batman score and Cobra on there - very fitting.

Great job!

I'd been thinking about a crossover between Glee and The Shadow for quite a while when Kurt Big Bang started, and I supposed it just clicked. I was only sorry I couldn't bring back more people, but it would have been a bit of a stretch to have the entire club relocate to NYC. Still, it was a labor of love (and loads of caffeine) so I'm glad the seams aren't showing.

As for the art, I kind of won the lottery twice on this one. =)

Thank you so much for your kind words.

I didn't even realise that it was a crossover, haha. I've no knowledge of The Shadow. And the fic still worked, which is great!

... Am I the only one who can't view the fic? All I see is a banner ("Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Inside your Mind: a story by Marmalade Skies. Starring Kurt Hummel, Finn Hudson") and the following block of text

[cccarioca]

Have you tried pressing "Ctrl + A" to check if there was text below? Maybe your browser is having color issues and copy/pasting it into wordpad will make it easier for you to read.

Otherwise our magnificent mod might have some suggestions herself when she sees your message.

Thank you for trying to read it. =)

[greytuneff]

Yeah, I've tried that, but there doesn't seem to be any text besides what I posted up below. The really weird part is that there's a long, long way down of grey color until the text/banner part - like when you scroll down, it's halfway until the end, and after the text there's just grey background again until the page stops. I've no idea what's wrong, but if it isn't fixable I suppose I'll have to wait until February 26th (when authors are allowed to post the story elsewhere) to read it.

Complicated situation is complicated :/

I plan on putting the fic up on AO3 after KBB is over, but if you don't want to wait, my e-mail is cccarioca at gmail.com.

E-mail me and I can send you a copy.

Well I wish I could give an amazing review but I'm simply speechless. The poster is very intreguing and does capture your interest but I have sadly yet to listen to the soundtrack.

The fic is original and captures your interest right from the beginning and keeps it through and through.

Ummm I'm never that good with reviews but I did love this! Well done!

[cccarioca]

Trust me, I'm very happy with that review.

Thanks! =)

Amazing, the poster is all kinds of creepy and really set the mood and mystery well, then the story totally delivered on that promise. I like that the three main character's voices are really distinct, it shows the different elements of the story really well.

I was suprised how much I liked Finn. I'm usually overprotective of Kurt but the way he put his case forward, especially in the bathrobe scene, was a perfect fit for a Finn who had matured and really got a handle on his feelings (also, teacher!Finn is a random favourite of mine). And who could handle Kurt's darkness but would not put up with his crap!

Now I've just got the fanmix to listen to, thank you so much for all the work you guys must have put into this!

[cccarioca]

*grins* I'm glad that the story entertained you and that you liked all the character voices.

Thank you for the feedback!
