Acknowledgments

Beth: God, I love you so much. You have been so unbelievably supportive during this whole freaking month. You always kept up-to-date with the story and got pissed if I told you that you'd just missed the latest chapter by a few minutes. Thanks for obsessing over Era right along with me (and for letting me borrow Dashito for a little while).

Anoko: God, we've been friends for ages now! You're always there to support my little creative endeavors, whether it be a dinky little fansite or a full-blown novel. Thanks for being one of my first internet best friends - and thanks for the constructive criticism you left on the novel.

Kanjal: You have no clue how flattered I was when I read in you DeviantArt page that you considered Eravisté one of your favorite characters. You're the first Era fan I know that I haven't met in real life. It's also awesome to see your interpretation of his character - major hugs and head-pats, buddy!!

The TDF'ers: You crazy little forumers, you. Thanks for all your support in the NaNoWriMo Frenzy thread. I know I got a few readers from TDF, and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to come here and read my silly little attempt at a coherent story. You guys rock (and Razi wholeheartedly agrees with that).

Everyone else: Even if you only dropped by and read a few parts here and there, or if you actually stuck it out and read the whole thing, thank you so much. It means a hell of a lot to me, and I just hope I was able to make the time you wasted here a little entertaining. You guys are AWESOME, and don't you forget it!!

And Era: Goddammit Era, this is all your fault!! Fucking mad-mage!! How dare you make me go through this, you little... blargh!!
Anyway, I love you to death, sweetie. I finished your story now, so kindly stop making me obsess over you. Please and thanks.
