Final Comments
~*~
Hey, everyone! This is Songwind!
Er, no, this isn't a chapter. Chapter forty-two was the final chapter. This is a last peek into THIS story, as well as a few hints to possible future stories.
FIRST THING.
NEW PROJECTS!
A Sequel- VERY likely. Will most likely involve a brand new trainer, though old ones may make a cameo. More high tech stuff, and more arguments about where exactly a half Bishie fits into the world that is the Bishie world.
A Date Story- Someone asked me to write about the date between Sano and Anya, and it's in progress! Two pages have been typed already! Here's a quick peek at the premise; the two go on their date as planned. However, Chichiri decides that he's going to "keep an eye on them"- aka spy on the two- and naturally chaos ensues.
An alternate ending- Someone else asked me to write and send in the original version of that chapter where Anya is stopped at the last minute by Sano coming to the rescue; see, the original beginning was very sad, and different. This will most likely be posted soon. Look for it!
A random idea- Ne, how does a semi-interactive story sound to anyone? No, it's not where I ask your opinions on what should happen; it'll be like where you would have a short chapter to read, then you could choose what would happen. It would basically be a Bishie adventure, but with a couple restrictions (like I make up all the choices, and it's kinda short). I'll only do this if enough people (like all of you) approve. So... what'cha think?
So.
There you have it.
SECOND THING.
I imagine people have/had/will have a few questions regarding this story. Here, I've managed to answer a few of them for you. Enjoy. ^^;
1. Can you forward the link of the website to other people?
As implied by Lady Demoonica Darkmoon in her Bishonen story, yes. However, the link won't likely stay in that person's inbox for very long if that person wasn't chosen by the people who run the Bishie World to come and join the party.
2. What's with the 'No Bishies, not staying in Bishie World' thing?
It's a basic rule I came up with. I mean, what's the point of living in a Bishie World if you don't have Bishies to tag along with you? Besides, capturing any Bishie buddies you may have helps the people running the place keep track on both the human and Bishie population.
3. I'M CONFUSED! WHAT THE HELL IS UP AT HOME WHEN I'M HERE?!
Ano... I call it the 'Cut and Paste Theory', or 'Analogy', or 'Thingy'. For a moment, let's ignore the existence of templates.
Okay. So let's say you have two folders. One is called 'Earth', the other called 'Bishies'. A document with your name on it exists on the one called 'Earth'. You decide you want to move it to 'Bishies.' So, you cut the document and paste it where you want to go, and you're now in the 'Bishie' folder. Simple, right?
Now, let's look at the Earth folder, and recall that templates exist. The master computer- aka the universe- will know you were once in that folder, and will place templates or some other such data in there to remember your document by. The other documents 'living' in the 'Earth' folder will be intact, not remembering or not caring about your previous existence with them.
Let's say you decide to move your file back to the 'Earth' folder. Cut and paste again, and you'll be back in your original folder. For my amusement, let's say it's been about a month since you first switched folders, and all of the documents in the 'Earth' folder have progressed a bit without you. However, you yourself have progressed on your own in the 'Bishie' folder. Therefore, you simply pick up and go along with the other documents that have been there all along.
Of course, there would still be data saying you had been in the Bishie world, but that's a different thing I don't want to get into at the moment. My head hurts enough already.
Cool analogy though, ain't it? ^_^ Came up with it myself.
4. Who came up with the 'Stay this close to your Bishie or else' rule?
Er... that would be me. I figured, hey, why would you WANT to have your Bishies anywhere else but beside you? And it helped develop a plot for the story, too. And that never hurts, in my opinion.
5. Why did LSS-sama and Tokio-sama give Kara that shot? O.o Did they kill her?
No, no, she's fine. Currently residing in jail at home, but fine. There is a loophole in the rules about trainers trying to return to the Bishie world after leaving once. If you forwarded your letter to someone who was considered 'worthy' to enter the Bishie World, or if you printed the link, then you could probably return. The creators of the world recognized this and gave Kara a special shot.
This shot they gave her is a special sort of virus. If she were to try and enter the Bishie World again, despite all the precautions set up against her not getting the link again, then she'd die within the day.
Cruel, but effective. And it keeps the rate of returning evil trainers down.
6. Who's 'Kira'?
(Looks embarrassed) Okay, that was a mess up. Hopefully by now ff.net has posted the corrected versions of that name. That was actually Kara, but for some reason I began to call her Kira. Sorry about any confusion, minna. ^^;
7. So you can recapture Bishes?
Yup, here you can. As long as you have one Bishie with you at all times, you can capture and recapture as many Bishies as you want. And as many times as you want. But I'd advise you against doing so; Bish-balls can get a bit expensive if you have to go and buy new ones all the time. Then your Bishies would get mad at you for wasting that money that could have been used on food.
8. Why did you leave so many threads hanging?
Frankly because those threads are about other trainers, and the main story was based on Anya. Also because some of those threads could hopefully inspire ideas in other writers, as well as in myself should I decide to continue. ^_^
THIRD THING.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed and/or has read this story, whether you were with me since the beginning of you joined up near the end, or somewhere in the middle. It was fun, wasn't it? I had a good time, and by the looks of it you all seemed to have a good time, too.
SPECIAL thanks to-
Nek0-chan- If you hadn't 'not so subtly' told me to update around chapter three, I'd have never dreamed of going this far. (Gives her Yami no Malik plushies) Thank you so much!
SSJHeero- You gave me a lot of constructive criticism, which I deeply appreciated. I like to think that I improved over this story, in writing and in thinking on HOW to write something. So, thanks. Everyone, please read his Bishie story! It's really good!
Lady Demoonica Darkmoon- Wow. You know, at first I was a bit scared at having such a big fan of the Bishie world rooting for me. I was awed when you wanted to write a story based off of my idea. (Points at herself, looking surprised) Me? You mean ME, me? (Grins) Thanks for all your support. And thanks for starting our Bishie Cult, member number 2!
LAST THING- honest!
I want to apologize to everyone for:
1. Not getting everyone in
2. Taking forever to get some people in
3. Etc.
With any luck, I'll be better in my next installment, assuming I begin one. (Grin)
That's it for now, minna.
Thank you, and until next story! (Waves)

Oh, for just one time
I would take the Northwest passage
To find the hand of Franklin
Reaching for the Sea,
Tracing one worn line
Through a land so wide and savage
And make a Northwest passage
To the sea.
