//------------------------------// // Author's Address // Story: The Griffon War: A Soldier's Memoirs // by Dusk Quill //------------------------------// Author’s Address Thank you for reading my story. I would like to extend a personal thank you to everyone who commented, liked, and/or favorited my work, especially to the ones who gave me feedback as I was going along. You all have been a huge support. I would also like to extend personal thanks to Silverstein and Treilacl, for their continued reviews and edits from start to finish, and to everyone who helped and continues to help spread my work. I hope the story was to everyone’s liking! This was the first fanfiction I have written in a long while, and after my extended hiatus, it felt good to return to writing. All the views have been so inspiring, and all of you in the community are a wonderful bunch. I purposely left the end open for a sequel, planning to continue if I saw a demand for more. If you have an opinion, I would love to hear it. If you have any comments, criticisms, or just something you’d like to tell me, I encourage you to leave me a message here or in my inbox. I love feedback almost as much as I love all my readers. April 15th, 2014 Edit As authors, it is our duty to give voices to stories that would otherwise be left untold. Each writer has their own tales hiding in their hearts and minds, and it is up to their talented hands to give them existence on paper. We are storytellers and wordsmiths. But words cannot do justice to the amount of gratitude I feel toward everyone who has supported me. When I wrote this story going on two years ago, I did it to prove to myself I could. I hadn't written anything in almost eight years at the time, and it was supposed to be nothing more than a hobby and to do a little something for the fandom I had fallen in love with. I never expected the praise, nor the reviews. I never expected anyone to feel so moved by my words. I never expected to sit here, five stories into a series, with such a voracious request for more. Hell, I never really expected anyone in a fandom about happy technicolor ponies to pick up a story about something so dark as war. And for that, I thank every single one of you. Every reader that has taken the time to look through these chapters, every person that has left a comment or a like, every critic that has helped me shape my writing into something a little more than it was before, and every fan that has been supporting me in the uphill battle. Thank you—from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I could never have gotten anywhere without all of you. — Dusk Quill "There is nothing to writing.
