Here's my author's note to all of you.

I haven't put a disclaimer on here, and just to be safe I want to say that I don't own any rights to anything. Not for the Kingdom Keepers, Princess Bride or any of the Disney movies I referenced/alluded to during the course of this story. I own nothing. Emphasis on nothing.

Next, I want to say thanks to all of you who reviewed every single chapter. Actually, I change that. I want to thank all of you who reviewed! Y'all's reviews were wonderful and lovely and I thank you for doing that. Y'all broke the KK fanfiction archive record, for crying out loud! That's awesome all on its own!

Though I loved all of the reviews, here are some of my favorites in no particular order, with some of my own comments below in Italics.

1. kingdom-keepers-rule (chapter 3): words cannot describe how much i LOVE this story. You write like a professional and the idea is one of the best ive read. ever. instant follow for you and your story- you're gonna write great things, i know it ;)

If only my English teachers could read that! Ha! I would be lying though if I said I hadn't thought about writing a book to actually be published though...

2. her-eyes-fiery-pinpricks (chapter 23): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD TALK ABOUT THE GORGEOUS CHARBECK OR THE SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT WILBY OR THE OF COURSE IT'S FLAWLESS FAMANDA OR THE FACT THAT YOU JUST RUINED THE MOMENT
PERFECTALLY
Let me just say this: I have never been more anxious for an update.
:D

I didn't think it was possible to ruin a moment perfectly :P You learn something new every day right? ;) Thanks for all the awesome reviews girl! Every single one makes me smile and/or laugh. I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve with your writing! :)

3. Neon Clouds (chapter 21): You are just completely and truly one of the BEST WRITERS I HAVE EVER READ ON FANFICTION! There is so much emotion in your writing, and it is so beautifully well-written! If you don't become a best-selling author when you grow up, something's totally wrong with our reality! The connection you have with the characters, it's just so amazing, it doesn't sound forced at all but flow flawlessly! Please update!
And I just have to know, do you have all of these chapters ready or do you write them as you go? Because honestly, if you can write these chapters as quickly as it seems you do, I think there's no stopping you! You're quick and brilliant! It takes me a week to write a chapter half as good as this!

Me? The best? No way. I refuse to believe that. But I will take your compliments and say a gigantic thank you! :) And to finally answer your question, I did not have this pre-written. I came up with the chapters as I went. But honestly...over the summer I had nothing to do and it rained way too much this summer-so I had a lot of free time. Now that school's back in, it's been harder to do so, but I loved the story so much I couldn't wait to write more. I think I was way more excited to see where it was going than y'all were, if I'm being honest. And your stories are by far some of my favorites-ever! Much better than me, that's for sure! Update pretty, pretty please, with cherries on top? :)

4. kk7 (chapter 28): SHE'S ALIVE?! OMIGOSH! Update!? Please! I love how you weaved in all the flashbacks and backstories into the present so it could affect the characters in many ways.

I'll be honest, I was inspired by the awesomeness that is Lost. Watching that on Netflix this summer really helped me write those flashbacks out. They do such a great job and I was inspired by that.

5. Willatreetwin (chapter 37): Finale? I don't think I ever want this to end. I loved this chapter and PHILBY NEEDS TO BREAK THE CURSE! I honestly think after the finale is over you should do a sequel. All good things come to an end, but this is way too good to come to an end!

I hate to see it end too, honestly. I love writing this story so much. But I will put in some thought for a sequel. But no guarantees... ;)

6. KayBear365 (chapter 41): Woooooooooooooooooooah!
OHMYWHITMAN! OHMYWHITMAN! OHMYWHITMAN! I don't want this to end! MANDA! FINNY! Was this all a dream or something!? I CANT BELIEVE IT, THEIR ALL DEAD! ALL DEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAD!

Surprise! It was all a dream! :P Your reviews are all awesome, but this one is one of my favorites. Just the all caps shows how emotional you are about this subject! :P Love it!

Of course all of the reviews are awesome...those are just some of my memorable ones.

Oh and another disclaimer: I made up the whole Prince Finnegan story that Finn's mom tells him about. That was just to parallel Finn's dream. Again, 100% made up. If there is a story like that out there, I'd love to read it...but I have no clue if there is one now.

Just a quick side note, I put all 42 chapters in a word document and it told me it was 296 pages...WHAT? I didn't realize I had written so much. Dang. That's all I can say about that. Wow. Just wow.

Don't despair, this isn't the end of me on fanfiction. I do have "Whodunnit" to continue and I have a few other ideas for one-shots and possible multi-chapter stories. This is just the beginning!

Have a great day and happy writing/reading!

Love, vanhoose :)
