Well. Here we are. A year and a half after beginning the story, it’s time.
ETC Chapter 16. The Talk. It is now live. The chapter that ETC has been building up to.
I don’t have much to say, save for this:
I am proud of this chapter. Very, very proud.
That’s all. Have a nice day.
Sadly, I won't be able to read it until tomorrow.
I could rush it. But I want to savor it.
I don't think I've been this excited for a chapter of a fanfic before.
But I can't read it right now, I'm gonna wait until I have a good amount of time to read this right.
That chapter...Brilliant.
This is going to sound like a fine candidate the cheesiest thing you've ever heard (and I'm sure that you've heard plenty of cheesy things hanging around this site), but in the five-plus hours I just spent reading through the entirety of ETC, I believe I have become a happier person.
I won't go on and on, nor will I claim some grandiose "connection" to the protagonist or that it necessarily "changed my life", but I suppose it gave me a sort of clarity. That, or the sleep deprivation is setting in and the lights in the sky aren't actually stars. That should probably concern me more than it does.
In any case, thank you for being a wonderful person with wonderful writing abilities who writes wonderful things. You are, to be somewhat un-cleverly referential, an inspiration.
