NOT A CHAPTER...
But... Ripple Effect (Part 2) is officially PUBLISHED!
Go Check it Out!
HAPPY READING!
(Wondy-SW: Thank you! Well... you're about to get your wish, Merle on the Greene's farm. Is it just me, or could you hear Merle's cackling in the back of your head? LOL.)
(Gues1/Kyr: ;) Thanks, hope you're having an awesome year so far!)
(acetwolf94: ~Hope you enjoy the iupdate~)
(Beachgirl25: LOL, facts. Things are going to be changing, a lot, in this season... Thank you so much for all of your reviews, you've been inspiring me with your comments all this time and a good chunk of my ideas were triggered by you. Happy Reading!)
(OldLonBird: You are going to be seeing things... LOL. I hope you enjoy the update!)
(MADStar529: April is here~)
(NaRuKo-InuTaiSHo-XD: Thank you!)
(Daboop Jones: LOL... you were loving the frequent updates only to encounter like a four-month hiatus. ;) Oops.)
(KyrieB: Thanks! Team Dixon all the way~)
(00estoric00: Thank you!)
(jjiwon: LOL. I felt this on a spiritual level. No worries, shit's going to go down in this installment.)
(Guest2: Same. ;P I'm attached to the campervan too.)
(illuminaax: No worries! To be honest I don't think I'm going to be replying to every review in the next part... maybe only the ones with questions... LOL. I downright cackled at your *observant* comment. I love that scene and it's a tragedy that it was cut from the series. Thank you so much for sticking with me from the very beginning! I hope you enjoy the update!)
(MyRandomThoughts: Thanks~)
(schmoopygirl: I always thought that horticulture was interesting and it's not seen much in TWD fanfics... which doesn't make sense since it's a life skill that could definitely save your life in the zombie apocalypse. I guess, I'm sorry to hear that you won't be sticking with the rest of the series. I have lots of plans for the Dixon-Rhee's... in regards to your thoughts on Glenn's character progression and Marie's... it's easier to see the positive changes in the Dixon brothers' characters because they were both kinda dicks in the first season [I mean all we had on Merle was 'racist-violent-crackhead']. My impression of Glenn, in the beginning, was that he was something of a doormat... that is something that I wanted to explore the reasons behind and see if I could slowly develop him a bit more 'on screen'. In regards to Marie, this story has only really shown a snippet of her life/character so far [it was about a month], so I didn't think that was enough time for her to shed her reservations and become a total confrontational badass... not when I've already developed the Rhee siblings as non-confrontational by nature. LOL, this turned into a weird rant. Anyway, thanks for sticking with me until now, happy reading!)
(Bruna Rossi: Aww, thank you! Hope you enjoy the update!)
(destynee247: Your wish is my command!~)
(Tiago-Oncilla: You're making me blush! Thanks! That's what I was going for. ;) I love to see characters getting called out for their shit... but I also know myself and if I was in Marie's position, I'd want to say something but at the same time not draw Shane's ire/attention to myself. He's an asshole. An asshole with muscles and a gun. Marie's no fool. LOL.)
(bloodysilverfox: So many questions! So many answers! Am I going to spill right now? Nope! ;P I hope you enjoy the update!)
(Guest3/eurydice: You can't see or hear me... but I got red so fast and squealed like pubescent kids. Thank you so much! Highest of compliment to hear that you half-expect Marie to suddenly show up on the big screen. Happy Reading!)
(ItsKir: Congrats on the account! The wait is finally over!)
(Tompoi: Wow. I'm super honored. Seven years is a really long time. Writing the relationship between the Dixon-Rhee's has been an absolute delight, and the little ones are like an extra dosage of cute. I've been very conscious of not turning Marie into a MarySue [that's literally one of my nightmares], so I'm always happy to hear people assuage that fear of mine. Regarding the Korean, I'm sorry it's not in Hangul- I don't actually speak Korean [the extent of my knowledge comes from my over-a-decade of binging Kdramas... which means I really know nothing and shouldn't be trusted], the only reason I write it in "Latin letters" [like you called it] is because it helps me visualize the sounds of the words better and I thought it might help other non-speakers as well. Please, always feel free to correct my Korean, and thank you for your patience and understanding in the future. I hope you enjoy the update!)
