Oops.  I forgot to add a few things to the tail end of the last post.
Gomen ne.

No real super huge acknowlegements.  It's simple, really.

Thanks to the following for their input and encouragement.

CEO - Ever try gamma radiation?  Did wonders for me...  Thanks for all the
help.  I'd be lost without the handy-dandy walking guide to martial arts.
I'm sure all of your technical details are there, and in proper form to
boot!  I tried to get it all right, I apologise if I screw up a name
again.  Just remember, the next time you write something, you have to put
in Shuma Gorath's win line, and involve a chaos dimension.  Waste of
Flesh! 

Raoh - Thanks again.  Mostly for the encouragement and enthusiasm for the
series.  It's helped tremendously.  Your input is in here, mostly likely
hidden amongst the dark, dank scenes.  Somehow, you mangaged to weave in
that thread of happiness, that little string of romance in the fic.  To
think I overlooked it while I was writing all the fighting and angst into
it!  ^^;;

DC, Desaix, Maybeso, Kickaha, Sean, Ronny, (this is the list that never
ends... it just goes on and on my friends...), hell, you all know who you
are.  The readers, the people who commented and the people who took the
time to write to me, giving me the incentive to keep writing.  Thanks to
all of you for keeping my hopes up amidst the veritable tsunami of flames.

And to all the flamers - I'm sorry you didn't like it.  I really am.  I
aim to please, and if I missed, I guess them's the breaks.  Still, you
don't need to take it out on me, or any of the people who write.  I've
read fics I don't necessarily like, but Ihave to respect the people for
putting time and effort into their art.  They're giving you themselves in
those stories, and unless you can respect that, just keep your mouth
closed.

It's been great being on the FFML.  My major account has been unsubbed,
but I'll keep this channel open for email, and to get those fics from
everyone.  I can't describe how much fun it's been watching fics fly back
and forth, and even the occasional rant about who deserves who.  It really
has been a grand time.  I hope everyone's gotten as much out of what I've
offered as what I've gotten from all of you out there.

Arigatoo gozaimashita.
