Hey folks. One last time I'd like to thank everybody who submitted. There were a lot of great characters, and I'm sorry that I couldn't fit all of them into the story. That being said, you are probably wondering about the cast list. ...Actually, you've probably already looked down and seen it already, so why did I even type out this paragraph?

I'm really happy with the cast I got, so I hope I can do everyone justice. I'm not exactly the fastest or best writer, so updates will likely be a little slow. I'll try and get the prologue out of the way as soon as possible, however. Once more, thank you for your time, and I hope you have a fantastic day.
