XIV. Acknowledgements & References
Thank you to all my readers, including the quiet ones. I am flattered by every click on my fanfic pages. :-) (Gosh, I hope that didn't sound too creepy…)
But special thanks to the readers who give of their time, energy, and thoughts to review! You make my day and you challenge me to always do my best as a writer. So thanks…
Spirit of the Scottish Kelpie: For being there from the beginning, and being incredibly helpful and supportive with so many aspects of this story! Thank you for your friendship, and for all the messages- both serious and fangirling- we've exchanged over the summer. Also, thanks for the suggestions of authentic Northern Irish last names for when Thomas goes "in cognito" in chapter 7. :-D Anyone who hasn't checked out "The Thomas Andrews Affair," I encourage you to do so, it's awesome!
Elna11, riddermark and Courtney Daisy: I've greatly appreciated the sweet encouragements!
Ms Gatsby: Thank you for my very first review, and for making me stop and think about my dialogue; I kept the accented spellings only in situations where characters' accents would be stronger.
The Inimitable Enigma Cypher: Your review of chapter 11 is probably the highest compliment I've gotten on the whole story! Seriously, I was floored.
Ograndebatata: Thank you for some wonderful new insights and for your incredible attention to detail, both in terms of historic research and in terms of how I humbly attempt to weave this story.
