The telling of the tale
Disclaimer
I am a native French speaker. I have absolutely no formal training in the English language. However, I have used it all my adult life, nearly 30 years now. This story was written entirely in English by myself as were my poems and two other stories in this fandom.
I have also written a few fanfics in different fandoms in the last 10 year.
However, this is my first Daniel Boone fanfic. No copyright infringement is intended. This is done only in good fun.
Daniel Boone aired in French in Quebec during the early seventy. I had never heard the true voice of the actors, characters and the sound of the show until the dvd's were released in the fall of 2006.
I am a native French speaker and couldn't possibly have done this story without the help of Paula Davis. Paula has gone above and beyond the call on duty. She has endlessly corrected my lack of apostrophes, my seriously wrong verbs conjugations, my aggravating grammar and my "not-so-good-English". It is a formidable task to correct someone without formal training/education in English. Paula has worked incredibly hard and I want to publicly thank her. I would never dare to post it, if she hadn't gone through it, with such generosity on her time.
I also want to thank Susie Coffman, whose kindness helped me believe.
I am aware fanfics writing is all in good fun. While English isn't my mother's tongue (nor my father for that matter), I still aim to write as good as I possibly can. I respect the Daniel Boone's characters and the words of any language too much, to do wrong by them.
I will appreciate any help in improving the story.
I can take all sorts of comments, as long as they are honest and come from wanting to do justice to the characters and the language.
I am rating this story as M, for there is a small section that challenge the nineteen sixty era in which the show was broadcasted.
