Intermission ~ Author's Note

I'd like to thank everyone for their comments as I write this story. You guys are great, and to that I guess I owe you an explanation.

As you may have noticed, I have a habit of mentioning brand names, song lyrics, and the like. Whoever owns these things owns them, not me. That includes named cartoons, car brands, bands, whatever. But I figured I'd explain why I use them. It's hard to set up a totally alternate world: people can't relate to it as well when you're trying to explain that ROB likes a strange cartoon robot, when I just can say he likes GIR from Invader Zim. To me, it adds realism, another dimension that lets people really relate to what's going on in the story.

And, just so everyone knows here's the music credits thus far:

Join me in death…

            "Join Me" Originally by HIM, remixed by LightForce.

I went looking for trouble, and boy, I found her…

Loving you was like loving the dead…

            "Black No. 1" by Type O Negative

Now I will tell you what I've done for you…
50 thousand tears I've cried…

            "Going Under" by Evanescence

I'll probably continue to make add-ins like this, but I hope to keep them at a minimum.

Also, updates are going to be slow. I'm in my last term of college, working part time at my school's main computer lab, role playing, and participating in Final Fantasy XI. Needless to say, my time is booked.
