Re: Well

So now what? You've won your great battle, Chaos is dead, your convenient little harem has gone home, and the only ones left are you and I. So tell me: was it worth it, in the end? All the destruction, the amnesia, the betrayal and loss? Did ridding the world of Chaos satisfy you? And what will you do, now that the final fantasy is at an end?

…You wanna have some fun?

AUTHOR'S NOTE & THANKS:

This story took a ridiculously long time to write. It doesn't help that I wasted an inordinate amount of time trying to tell it diary-style. (Don't ask. It was really bad.) Suffice to say, if I had never discovered Dr. Dredd's delightful Stargate Atlantis fanfic "Memoranda From the Edge," I would never have realized the proper way to tell "Didn't You Get the Memo?" Massive amounts of credit go to Dr. Dredd, who unknowingly inspired the very nature of this story.

I'd also like to mention my friends (and my sister too), who patiently tolerated me while I was writing, and suffered through many, many bad jokes in my attempts to polish this to perfection. An especial thanks goes to Johwee, who took time out of her busy watermelon-carving schedule to serve as a last-minute pacing advisor and suggest it just might be a little bit funnier if the Emperor had some sort of ever-lengthening signature.

And finally, thank you so much to all those who read and reviewed this, especially the anonymous person who provided the first review; as I am an incredibly paranoid person, hearing that even one stranger likes something I write comes as an enormous relief.

Thank you for reading, everyone!
