Author's Epilogue: Hooray! This is just a quick update. First to respond to the reviewers:
luigifan2234: I am so grateful for all your reviews. I know, it is a bit tragic. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yes! I am writing a sequel! Dennis is not dead yet! And I'm not sure if I'll post more chapters…I might if I have nothing else to do and so you people will have something to laugh at.
A. Nonymous: Thanks so much! Glad you liked it! I haven't read that much Shakespeare, but the grief of Dennis was really hard to write. (cringe) And I think I already explained this…but Spanish is the only language I know and I thought it sounded cool. In one of those alternate chapters, I was going to incorporate Espanol into my story, but I got so frustrated I quit that idea. Oh, and I'm thinking about your Red Tide idea. It'll be a long while, but I'm thinking on it.
SpongeFanSquareFiction: Thank you! You're reviews have been so helpful. Don't worry, I'm continuing the story! (dances) Even I can hardly read it sometimes without shedding a tear. The only thing is whenever I watch the SpongeBob movie I cringe when he says, "I love this job!" and junk like that because I'm like, "Dennis, no! You're supposed to be good underneath…" Okay…anyway. Thanks so much for the fave and everything!
sponge-fan: WOW! Thanks so much! Everything you said was like uber-nice! Yay! Oh…about the poem…it's an untitled piece by Emily Dickinson about a dog…yah, weird…I did a poetry project and it was one I chose and it seemed to fit…The only thing is the formatting screwed up on the last chapter…so there's a million things wrong…like one line of the poem isn't italicized or centered and there should be a line break but there isn't…ACK! Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm loving your new story, by the way.
DiamondTopaz: OMG! You're the greatest! Hugs I know the Plankton thing was off and stuff, but either way I think he kind of had a feeling something like that would happen. Oh, thank you for all your thoughtful insight on my next stories and all your critique is GREATLY appreciated. (hug) Gosh, your reviews make it sound so much better than it is. I'm trying to finish "Imagination" as soon as possible so yous can read it! You're the best!
Sly'sCarmelita22: Yup, that's the end…or is it? Sequel will come. Thanks. Must ask you, are you a Dennis/Mindy fan? Did I convert anyone? SOMEONE ANSWER ME!
Okay, whew! You guys were just like the biggest support ever! I never dreamed this story would be that good! Almost 50 reviews (and that's a LOT, especially for a SpongeBob story). All and all, I wanted to write a fic about Dennis as soft-hearted. Then I decided to stir up sympathy for him (A LOT of sympathy) and maybe get people to view him in a different way. I don't know how the heck I came up with Mindy and…Dennis…it just…happened. They are so cute together! (SQUEE!) Okay…
It might seem like I went a little "death-happy" but Dennis led a very tragic life. His poor mother sent him over the edge in his first kill, Chad. Then it was his fault that Mark died…indirectly, because without Dennis, Mark didn't have anyone to keep him on the straight and narrow. Then Mindy…
I'm sure a lot of you are asking, "Who was the driver? And why didn't Dennis exact revenge on him?" I've already talked this over with people and I've come up with several theories. It wasn't Mark, I can tell you that. At first I thought it could be…well, that's for the sequel I guess. I didn't want Dennis to run off and kill the guy…yet…because it would be too similar to Chad's death and I just didn't want to be repetitive.
Okay…whatever. If you have MORE questions, please go ahead and review again because we can top 50 if we try! C'mon! Now, for summaries to my next stories:
Imagination: Squidward has bought an old house on the outskirts of town and he's finally moving out of Conch Street. Unfortunately for him, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy trail along and end up getting stuck there due to a sudden storm. Squidward is furious, but his big plans to start a bed and breakfast in the old Everett house puts him in better spirits. Until things start to happen…things that may not have been caused by mortal hands…(ooh…a ghost story. This is my first time writing for Squidward and I just can't wait to get this out there.)
(Ack! I have no title!): He he…I'm not going to spoil this one. Dennis is alive and this is his sequel. (dances) You'll have to wait and seeee…it's going to have an Emily Dickinson theme again, so I need to find a suitable poem for my title…
Please tell me what you think of these ideas. I just wanted to post this because I miss posting things…Sorry for thou trouble….
