Hot damn that was a long dry spell. Didn't get squat done on vacation, then I had my wisdom teeth out, and then I was just really unmotivated. But that's all over now, and I hope you're not too mad for me making you wait. The Epilogue should be out in a few days, it won't be too long. Not much to say, besides adios, Spiderman.
O, I guess I can celebrate over 500k and 1000+ reviews. Both of those numbers are pretty crazy, man. What am I doing with my life again? xD
Srsly, it wouldn't be possible without you guys. Thanks so much for all your feedback and support. <3
@Swiftehstar: Sorry you blarged? And sorry this chapter doesn't really answer that question, haha. Owell.
@Luna-Soul-Sky: Glad you liked it!
@Guest: Yeah, it was good to see Sooty was back on her paws, so to speak. Most people guessed Chilly would be part of Silver's litter, too. You guys are sharp. :P
@Dracones: Sorry about your poor shattered shipping soul. That's a good point; I think it kinda works, since she's planning on leaving the Clan and all, possibly for good, but it was unintentional, and adding more details to her feelings about the Clan would have been better. Unfortunately, the chapter was already enormous, so there wasn't much space to squeeze things in. Ah well.
@TheVioletGleek: Hey! Good to see you again, love. No worries, I'm sure the hiatus turned a lot of people off (this recent accidental one prolly did too v_v). And, again, I must apologize for breaking your heart a bit...but that just means I was doing my job correctly! :D Rook/Nightingale will never ever ever happen; he sees himself as her big brother, and she views herself as the same thing for him, in a gotta-keep-you-outta-trouble-way. No make-outs for them. Alas, Chilly is never going to reappear again. Boom. I said it. The Pool ate him, and while some tiny pieces might linger in the back of Icekit's brain, there's not gonna be any reuniting when he goes to StarClan. Chillpaw's died a rather final death, one that he chose on his own terms; a rarity in the Warriors 'verse, but an interesting one, I think. FictionPress is FFN's sister site, so they're almost exactly the same. Reviews and accounts and publishing all works the same way - which is good, because I'm rather easily confused, haha. Hope to see you floating around in the future. :)
@Bookworm: Thanks! Hopefully Vulpine will go well. We'll see. The Epilogue won't skip tooo far in the future, so next gen kits prolly won't happen, but I imagine the Clan will be full of tiny black furballs someday, even if we don't get to see them. Who knows, ha. Thanks for your support. c:
@GinnyStar: Long time no see! I remember you from the TR days, man. Thanks for sticking around. Sadly, we won't see Sooty's trip in Chilled, but we might see some of her mountaineering days in a one-shot? Who knows what's in the cards. Just have to see what pops up!
@Woods Warriors: Aww, thanks. Imagery is always something I struggle with; there are plenty of authors better than me (cough Shimmertail & Shadesaurus cough), but I'm working on it. And you should definitely give a blind character a shot! The one Rumble chapter I did in Shattered was really fun, although it was also really difficult because I kept slipping in stuff he'd only know if he could actually see. Breaking myself of that habit was hard, but the experiment was definitely worthwhile. Go for it, if you have a good idea! I'll prolly post something here when Vulpine goes up (and random supplemental stuff), so keep an eye out. :)
@Juniper: Hey! Yeah, 1000+ was a crazy thing to see on my mobile. It was also really annoying, because the mobile version doesn't give exact numbers past 1000, so I couldn't see if I'd gotten a review unless I actually clicked it. First world problem, I know. Rook's accent is kinda complicated; when he didn't speak like a rogue, he was always speaking like a kittypet, because that was kinda his "true" self. We saw him try to suspend both for Soot when she was in distress, but if you've ever tried not speaking with an accent, you know that's basically impossible. Right now he's kinda blending the two, and it's not really on purpose anymore; he's not a kittypet anymore, but he's not exactly a hardened rogue, either, so when he's just speaking "normally," both parts tend to surface. Hence the bit about him being "pissed if we perish," and all. I like Carmelo too - a guilty pleasure, I suppose, since he was plotting Eaglestrike's murder and all (I remember when some of you guys thought Eagle was gonna turn evil ambitious deputy and ursup Silver. Good times, good times) - even tho he's pretty shady. He's prolly the only city boss to ever come out on top, too; he gets to rule part of the city & keep up with his colony project, which is what he really wanted in the first place. A+ job, Carm. And thanks! I'm excited for DB and Vulpine too. :D
@Mystic Cassandra: Thank you!
@Davidsmart: Aw, thanks. I'm amazed my story could have such an impact on you. Glad you've enjoyed it, even if it hurt. c:
@Annirosec: It's a little late in the game for a new pairing to spring up, doncha think?
Anyway, that's all for now, folks. Keep an eye out for the Epilogue, and updates for my original projects and such. Ciao!
