The story has finally finished…and I cannot thank everyone who has read and reviewed it enough. I have probably gone on about it endless times before in my previous A/N, so it is starting to sound trivial and tacky as hell…. but anyway, thank you. Writing fan fiction isn't writing for personal enjoyment, it is about sharing your creative accomplishments, regardless of their quality, with the masses.
A story that has truly been written with passion, is one that says as much about the writer as it does about the characters, reflecting your opinions…aspirations…whatever (If this authors note was a film script, all the critics would say it was cheesy as hell) but I am just kind of gushing with happiness at finally ending the story!!!! :)
So here goes…. thank you list 2003
Kyrissaean –You were the first ever reviewer, and have consistently supported and reviewed the story since the beginning. Good luck with the whole D/G thing…it's a very good piece of work, even if D/G scares me somewhat.
Polkat – Again, you have reviewed the story consistently through the chapters and always offered helpful advice for improvement…making constructive criticism good. Cannot thank you enough for doing some editing work on the Epilogue, is a better chapter for it. Thank you. Now go write more Tom Riddle!!!!!! That story Siriusly and Remusly and er…riddlsy rules. Now I am not making sense. David Thewlis much better then Ralph Fiennes!!!!!!!!!!!! If Thewlis screws up, time machine is waiting though. Go Remus!
Anyone reading this authors note – GO READ HER STORIES AND REVIEW. 'Shards' is excellent.
Mello-Skello, Kit Black, Dan Finkelstein, Stryderman – Your reviews were all greatly appreciated in those tough early days. Glad you liked the story, if you had left signed reviews I could have taken a look at your own stories.
Earithramir – Accusations of your Pederism are, I am sure, unfounded. Cheers for the one-off review, maybe you should take a shot at writing yourself someday Mr.Glover…the results would be interesting. Keep reading your R rated Dumbleporn.
Believe, Thoroughbred, Voice of Reason 2, Cleo Sombra, SynakaSuus - Short reviews, but was rather touched by the words of kindness.
Sophocles, Zinnith – It wasn't meant to be THAT funny, but glad you liked it.
Nicole Black & Jen– Promotion never hurt anyone, I stayed true to my word and read as many peoples stories as possible.
Spoogal, Angelina Knole, Jeni, Munkyme, A.Dee, LostAngel2 – Again, thank you very much for liking the story and saying so by taking the time and effort to review.
GriffinFox – You have reviewed several times, and I always enjoy egotistically absorbing your praise.
Chocolate Taco – Lol, Mr.Black does indeed Siriusly rule. Your Harry Potter stories are great. IMDB boards forever!
Courtknee - Watch The Sky For Me is an absolutely brilliant piece of work that deserves to be read by everyone. Write more stories!!! Thanks for the reviews!
The Imperius, Silinde and SiriusSara – You showed up as the story was going through a rough stage, thanks for being such a great help and always giving very kind reviews.
Faeirex – A latecomer, but I am flattered that you didn't offer a single piece of criticism, is quite out of character. Harry Potter fan fictions rock!
Toomanycurls – Awh, you rule! I enjoy subtle humour!
Flyinhigh – You are in denial about Sirius's death. I am sorry.
Daughter-of-sarcasm – Okay, I completely love your single fan fiction. Write more ASAP…Peter is such a tragic figure.
Amoeba Queen – The second Jurassic Park wasn't that bad actually.
Snuffles2984 – Always a pleasure to speak to you on MSN. We grieve together for Sirius Black. He was like a second father to me.
Florence Fortescue – The more Sirius the better. Damn right.
BelleDayNight – Sirius has indeed suffered badly. Muchos gratitude for reviewing.
Ruby Fire Wolfson – There always has to be one…surprisingly your advice on punctuation actually fairly interesting. Stay cool.
Fantome – You just reviewed so many times!!!!!!! Had to mention how awesome it was to wake up one morning with a whole inbox full of reviews. Thanks a lot!
The Lady Wolfshead – You showed up when I was in a state of semi-depression following the Shrieking Shack, and wrote one of the nicest reviews ever. Thank you so much…meant a lot to me. Glad you liked the story.
Ms. CE – I always like praise…thanks a lot.
There are probably a heap more reviews that are going to show up for the Epilogue, so here is a resounding THANKS to all those people. If I missed anyone…sorry, email me and I'll edit this note as best I can. Thanks so much.
And for old times sake…
Sirius Black, Sirius White, Sirius Green, Sirius Blue, Sirius Yellow, Sirius Purple.
