//------------------------------// // Dedications // Story: Cammie // by Jarvy Jared //------------------------------// This story is dedicated to: My editors and pre-readers; Stinium_Ruide, VoxArachne, Sledge115, and Mike Cartoon Pony. Though their contributions varied, their quality was always superb. It is thanks to their help, insight, and feedback that this story can be read.  applezombi, whose massive work, Rekindled Embers, was instrumental for me to consider writing a longer work for the first time in years. Ninjadeadbeard, whose courage and compassion inspired me; whose humor and authenticity in his Anarchyverse writing gave rise to my own attempts at an authentic narrative. I'll miss you, my friend, but I will always treasure our having met. Rambling Writer, whose Adventure and Mystery OC-centric fanfics of Hinterlands and Urban Wilds ultimately were the catalyst for my own try at a largely OC cast. Chessie, whose epic, Starlight Over Detrot: A Noir Tale, reminded me of the fun one can have when writing something for a long while.  The reviewers and members of the Reviewers Mansion, whose passion and drive has always been a joy to share in. Though I am currently retired, I will treasure the time I spent there as a reviewer, and look forward to seeing what else you churn out.  The Elements of Justice team, who, without knowing it, inspired me to start and finish this story; whose endless passion and drive towards this project has been a source of encouragement and happiness for me. I am immensely grateful for the opportunities they have granted me. My literary heroes: Leo Tolstoy, whose novel, Anna Karenina showed me a story the closest to literary perfection; Gabriel García Márquez, who demonstrated the beauty of the stylistic voice; and Harper Lee, whose quiet, lovely wonder, To Kill A Mockingbird, has long proven my belief that the best stories are the ones that seem truer than life. Both My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and My Little Pony: Make Your Mark, both of which I consider myself a fan, no matter their differences; both of which have inspired me to write creatively at pivotal moments of my life, and which have inspired countless others to find their passion and love for creation and art.  And you, the reader, who has hopefully stuck out to the very end. Happy endings are rare, but I hope that though this is tinged with the melancholy, you have found it to be worthy of Cammie and Gaea. I think they deserve happiness, no matter what the future may bring. Thank you for reading!
