I've finally done it… whew. Before schools starts too.
I'd like to thank those who had followed this story and/or reviewed it; this is my first full-length work, and I'm overwhelmed by the number of reviews I've received for this story—really, I didn't know that people would like it in the first place; I was merely responding a challenge I dug off another author's bio page.
I've noticed that many people think that there wasn't enough MSR, but how many people truly fall in love in high school? I don't know… I am probably not the best person to answer that question. However, I do know about high school life, the pressure of classes and fellow students, first crush and puppy love, and that was what I decided to write about—something that I do know so the story would sound as real as my poor writing skill would allow it to be.
Here are some people whom deserve special gratitude; Beyond Yesterday wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them.
PixieDustBunny for the challenge. The idea of a pre-XF story wouldn't even come to my mind if I hadn't read the challenge from your bio. Thank you for the idea.
Monica for digging up the first chapter, making me revising and continuing it, and most important of all, for being my beta! I really don't know where I'd be without you along the way; you've saved me from so much humiliation.
Megan and Lily for encouraging me to go on whenever I faced a writer's block; thanks for being with me in those hours when everything had come to a dead end; gratias!
Lucas, Alice, Rosemary and Eric for keeping my insanity and twisted sense of humor at bay with that "Project Kindergarten"… this is important because well, if you guys didn't do that, this story would be even more ruined than it already is… I sure love to slap on my own face, don't I?
CB15—wow! I've got to admit that although I've talked to many people that I don't know online, you're the best out of them! You really are fun to talk with, and conversations with you on AIM brought back many great freshmen moments—time before I learned that some people hold grudge against me just for what I am. And you're right—screw them all.
I'll probably be taking a long break from XF fan fiction writing and start to work on stories for other shows and work on my wallpaper web page…
Again, thank you for reading this story. It means a lot to me, knowing that there are people out there reading and maybe even liking it.
