EPILOGUE and AUTHOR NOTES

Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for reading my epic! I can?t believe I finished it!

I want to give out some very special thank yous to some folks who have helped and encouraged me all along this very long path. First I thank Mike and Bryan for creating such an amazing story. Second I thank Avatar Portal Forum for being the source of inspiration, kicking me in the butt to write and being the first place to host this story in its horribly brutal and far less than even spell check edited rough draft. Thirdly I thank my husband for indulging my geeky/nerdy obsession with Avatar the Last Airbender.

Among other thank you are those to the people who helped me write this story by editing or contributing various chapters: ZMP (Farrah), CharcoalRav3n (Rob), Travahar, and Coyote (Robyn). I also need to thank some very very special artists who have done work for my fanfic and helped me bring some of what was vaguely in my head to life: ZKZ (Friederike), LINK (Liliane), Kamena, Flutterbug, Airdrake, ZMP (Farrah? again), and Jontuyo.

Thanks need to go out to all the readers who have stuck it through my epic long fanfic. A heartfelt thanks go to you all. Stories are told best with an audience to appreciate them. So when you are reading fanfics by others, please remember to comment. Knowing people are reading encourages authors to keep writing.

Special thanks also goes out to www.avatarspirit.net for the availability of transcripts and screenshots that have also helped immeasurably.

This fanfic is ended.

I will start a new one called ?Epilogue 100 to Never Forget Who You Are? so you may see how I tie Book 3: Fire and some of my other snippets together. There will be a sequel? but not till after the epilogue. The Epilogue 100 will consist of 100 shorts, moments in the months between Aang?s fall to the end of the Fire Lord.

Bright blessings
In the name of all the ancestors and spirits
(including Agni)

Wow.
That is all I have to say, Scarlet. Your fan-fic was the best in AP, and it has been one hell of a ride. Your writing is excellent, and I only hope that one day my fan-fic will be a shadow of what this is.

Amazing, and of course, karma.

Congratulations, Scarlet, on finally getting through this! I know it has been a very very VERY long labor of love, but it was well worth it. Writing this fic has let you grow as a writer, and as a teacher both. Beyond that, it helped the rest of us wonder and dream.

I am so proud of you!

(and I can't wait to see where you take it to next... our storyline goes in so many directions from here!)

ART WORK

Now I am editing this fanfic to prepare it for book printing. Yes, I will bind it like a real book. I need to clean up the writing first, fix spelling, neaten up the styles, fix the dyslexic tenses.

Also, I need artwork!

I am asking all artists that if they think they can/want to, I am accepting artwork for each chapter.

The finished product will be a PDF for AP. I will have a few bound copies that I will be giving to some of the folks who helped me out ALOT throughout this creation.

ART! ART!
Please send me art for this fic.
Thanks

Ah! Thats awesome SC!!! Sorry, but my art isnt too good XD so I doubt you would like it lol.

I'd do something, but my art is limited to those characters in my sig (and I won't mention my pencil-and-paper art) and I'd have to read past chapter 2...

eh, it's 4:35AM right now... I'll do it later.
I will say that it was pretty good as far as wherever I got though... =P

Cuz I lost it and needed to find it for someone... *bump*

I have not died. And Coyote and I are now reworking this fic to make it publishable. You lot will recognize the truth of it despite name changes, but we wanted to be able to properly publish it.

Awesome! Looking forward to it (as always).
