When I started this, I was bored and a bit lonely one morning, and just opened up AppleWorks. Wrote a chapter, thought it wasn't hideous, and posted it up. I was delighted each and every time someone reviewed, and it encouraged me to continue on with that nonsensical beginning. Two, three... Fifty chapters later, I'm still squealing silently (and not!) when a review alert pops up in my inbox.

Every single person who has suffered with me over these many months, and each new reader that stumbles across my Beast, I thank you. The kind words and text-based smiles have done a lot of good for me over this past while.

And all that mushy lovey-dovey emotional garbage aside, it's been a fun ride, guys and gals. I've had a blast along the way and hope you've gained a bit of fulfillment from suffering through those countless pages and clicks of the mouse. For the select few who constantly check back, waiting for me and my lazy-ass self to update, I apologize.

Please, don't hurt me. This will allllll be over soon. (though I haven't quite decided if I'm ready to let go, yet)

Signing out for the final time, Ignominious.
