First off, my thanks.
I had THREE betas on this bad boy, and all of them were absolutely priceless.
greeneyes_fan,
fftf, and
kimberlyfdr, you three are amazing and I couldn't have done this without your knowledge, insight, and attention to detail. I learned a lot from all of you, so thank you.
I lucked out when
acuarella-117 chose my story. Her skill as an artist is breathtaking, and every time she sent me a new piece, it made my day and renewed my excitement for this story. I hope we get to work together again, as it was a wonderful experience.
Next up, are my two tireless cheerleaders.
luc_darling and
jenilees. You girls kept me afloat with this when I felt like it was going to implode on me. Thank you so much for the support, it truly means a lot.
Finally, I posted this at around 7:30 this morning, half-asleep and feeling a touch hungover (despite the fact that I didn't have a single drink last night), and by the time I sat down at my desk here at work,
ina_ami
had already made a .PDF of the story. THAT, my friends is mind-boggling and AWESOME. So thank you. :D
Not even fifteen minutes later,
kruel_angel posted up one of her own. I'm nicknaming you both Speedy Gonzoles. :D
More detailed notes on the actual story will be up later tonight when I'm not at work, so stay tuned. :)
