Ok, guys. First off all, of course this isn't the last thing I'm going to write in this universe. I have as many side stories related to this as RK Rowling herself, trust me. There are particular stories that are already written in my head. A couple that are alluded to in this part of the story (am amused by that).
I want to thank everyone who read along with me and encouraged my insanity. You guys are amazing and I want to go to drinks and talk about G-A-B-E and Paaaaaaaatrick and be really obnoxiously silly together. This story ate me alive, and it was fulfilling to have other people share my enthusiasm. That means a lot when you make up a universe wholesale. That can be scary, because it really it is a madness.
Jenn is creating a community for the story where we will repost the edited versions of the whole shebang (there are consistency issues, like Gerard's teeth haha, that's a real example). With the revised text will also be links to all the music referenced and various other arcane things I included in the text (which is pretty much the whole story). Also, when we go live with the com, I'm opening the universe up to anyone to write in. You're welcome to write your epic Ashlee and Panic fic, for example (HINT!).
And for the record, I'll finally make a disclaimer:
I don't know what any of these people are really like. Public personas are like shoes, and all of these guys have them. I would in particular like to say that Jamia Nestor is an invention and I mean no disrespect towards the person in the real world who uses that name. Forgive me if you think I'm a creepy weirdo (I am, but so's your face...um, I mean, sorry?).
( She's known a couple boys who died. And the last one had enlightened eyes
but the first guy he was jesus christ )I'll see you at Wincon or over here soon!
