This Side of Living

Concluding Author's Notes

It's finished!!! It is really finished. I am amazed and happy

that I've been able to tell this story and I appreciate all of

you that have come along for the ride. While there will

probably be some edits in the near future (everytime I re-read

it I see some gross error somewhere), the actual story is over.

This has been a first for me on a variety of levels. This

is my first YYH fic (although I'm am in the middle of a crossover

that uses part of the YYH universe). It's the first story that

I've really finished; it doesn't need a sequel to explain

anything, unlike another "finished" story of mine. And, it

was the first time that I had ever attempted to write an idea

that was this different.

This is also the first time that I didn't load the story

with author's notes...which is hard for someone as long-winded

as I am. It was almost like writing in a different style.

But, through it all, I had a lot of fun. And I do appreciate

all of the reactions to the story.

One thing that all the reaction made bring about is a sequel.

One review had me thinking, "well, what if...?" If that

sequel happens, it won't happen for awhile. I need to get

back to all of the real life work (and unfinished fan fics)

in my life.

Thanks again for sharing this journey with me. I appreciate

the support.
