Author's Note
By popular demand, I will be making this into a serial fan-fiction. I can't promise frequent updates, as I am in university, but I can say that It will be updated every now and then.
Thanks to my reviewers, and here are my responses:
Red Squirrel Writer - Yeah, Sue parodies are getting rather wearing. I thought a serious fan-fiction was in order, and I've always had a certain curiousity for Brome's life back at Noonvale. Glad you liked the story! As for the healer part, you may be surprised with who I have planned for a...mentor.
Poncho D - That was one thing that I debated A LOT about, but you'll notice that as the book progressed, Brome's character also changed. By the end of the book, he'd actually picked up a javelin and fought with the Fur and Freedom Fighters, as opposed to being only a healer. You may also remember that he was extremely quiet during the second-to-last battle, and I tried to play on that. He must have been doing a lot of thinking and internal struggling, and he certainly became far more brazen by the end of the book. At the beginning, he definitely wouldn't have been that disrespectful, but he was also fiercely loyal to Felldoh by the end of the book, despite Felldoh's transition. I decided to play on this, as well.
jarrtail - Why thankees, matey! Here's hoping that the serialized fiction gets good!
Paths Crossing - Yeah, Felldoh is my favourite character. Period. I like Mask and Martin and Brome and a bunch of others, but Felldoh is by far the most tragic hero. One flaw that lead to his undoing, and those are the things that I love. If I may be so bold, if you are to write something about Felldoh, plllllleeeeeeeeaaaasssseeee make it so that it doesn't defy the original happenings in the book. It would be great if you were to write something about his childhood in slavery (he mentions that Badrang beat him when he was little more than an infant).
lateroseofnoonvale - Yes, I shall do so. But let it be known that the dibbuns have no effect on me! Even Mattimeo wouldn't have been able to pull one over on me. My little sister tries to do it all the time, and I just laugh and say, "Nice try!"
So, until next time readers, here's what we have. I'll write another chapter and see how it goes, and we'll judge if it's good enough to be serialized based on the reviews I get.
