The Disclaimer (February 1999)
You're about to meet Meg Leigh Silko, narrator and heroine of this semi-fanfic. If you know me, as Ria-angelo or Ria or Maria or even 'that tall English major chick who runs track', you can probably guess that Silko's a lot like me - someone I could see myself becoming in a couple of years.
Meg's story developed during December 1998, then got finished in January of 1999. I want to extend deep thanks to my friends and reviewers whose suggestions and support got this piece where it is: Dee, Donna, (Donna's webpage!), Kim, and Wendy, (Wendy's webpage!).
Several of the characters in here are based on friends of mine whose permission was obtained for use of their names and likenesses. They're really cool. :)
Some characters/situations herein described belong to one dimension or another of the mighty Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe, property of Mirage Studios (see disclaimer on my web page.)
Other than the above, all characters, situations, scenes, events, potholes, cliches, and deli sandwiches are imaginary, and any similarities to actual matter is coincidental.
Finally, I offer an apology to my inner child and all my clapping readers' for leaving out the part where Tink wakes up. I hope the other fanfics on this site, or linked to it, make up for that!!
Thanks for stopping in, hope you enjoy the tale!!
