Notes For
apocabigbang I completely stole the idea from SM Stirling's Dies the Fire, but all similarities are purely coincidental, except that I did steal the term Eaters. Thank you to
nannerz2cool cabayuki and
escribej for being kind and patient betas. Any mistakes are my fault, and not theirs. Also thanks to
kradio_benches and
idolmeta for first encouraging this idea more than two years ago. (see end for the scene that started it all)
Also
katekat1010 Thank you for the lovely art (yes I know I donated to charity for it. It does not make it less awesome, considering the rough outline I gave you all so long ago)
Random notes
~the quotes at the beginning of each part ore from WH Auden's "Funeral Blues"
~I call Brad Bell Brad through the entire piece. I know he usually goes by Cheeks, but I felt Brad was a bit more personal (and tone appropriate)
~Thanks also to all the people who gave me information I ended up not using. It did help, it just didn't fit
~I really cannot thank everyone enough for being so patient with me while I wrote this.
