Author's Note

Hey everyone,

Just a final word to say a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the commentary in a chapter by chapter way, or even if you only popped in for a single pass.

Comments are really why I still write, there's nothing like knowing your words aren't just fleeting off into the void, and a comment (pro or negative) is just an incredible experience to know that someone else has digested your hard work.

There were a ton of really great and insightful posts through this contest. Enough so that I will probably offer more than one prize next time I do this, as it feels almost criminal to pick only one winner.

That said, the big winner is:

GAPAOT!

I really loved his comments throughout, and as a fellow admirer of Trixie, hire could I not choose someone with a name like that? (Kidding.)

Again, thank you to all who played, and please keep an eye out for another time I might run this type of thing. And feel free to reach out to me with your ideas - if they tickle my fancy I might just do it anyway!

Cheers,

Clops
