A/N: Twenty chapters, and now it's the end. It's bittersweet, but mostly bitter.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you ALL. I'm thanking anyone who ever read something I wrote, anyone who left a review, anyone who told me it was awesome, and anyone who told me it wasn't. I'm thanking everyone who guessed what I was going to, anyone who guessed and failed, and anyone who doesn't want to see me leave. The idea of really leaving you all, the people, is much more difficult than just declaring my account retired.
For all that I will miss everyone, I do have to leave. And I've realized something about writing fanfiction. I found FFdotNet because I was looking for Wicked fansites, and one of my hits was the Fanfiction Archive. I came, and I read some, and I would leave anonymous reviews. Eventually, I started writing fanfiction of my own, and I posted it. And the amazing thing is, nobody made any of us start writing fanfiction. This is all of our own free will.
That's the mark of a true author. When nobody forces you to write, and you do anyway, simply because you love it, you are an author. When you just have to write, and there's no other reason but your own instincts, you are an author. Writing every day, even if you're writing about something you don't own, helps you get better. Always view fanfiction as a way to get better. This is coming from a fangirl who is just about to grow up and become a fan-woman.
I want the best for all of you in your writing careers. Fly high, and defy gravity. -LostOzian
