Thanks, Notes & Goodies
( Master Post ) Thanks
First of all, I cannot thank my darling boo and dedicated beta,
ostaras_journey, enough for all of her help, encouragement, guidance, hand-holding, suggestions, tolerance, patience, prodding, hard stares, feedback, praise, generosity and occasional stinkeye, without which this fic would never have been finished, and certainly not in the fancy state that it's in. She is the awesomest awesome. Thank you, my boo! ♥
Next, many thanks to my artist, the wonderful
getyourguns, who made all the gorgeous art that accompanies this fic. Please go give her some well-deserved loving
here. Thank you for all of your hard work, patience, and just generally being an awesome person to work with. ♥
Thank you,
wendy and
thehighwaywoman, for organizing this fantastic fandom event and all of the thought and effort you've put in to make it so great. It's such a pleasure to have been able to participate in this year's Big Bang. Thank you!
I also want to thank
maichan808 for her encouragement and enthusiasm. Thanks, baby!
And thank you all who have shown interest in this project of mine, who have encouraged me along the way or offered feedback now that it's been posted. Thank you all, too.
Have a puppy!
Notes
The title "Bury Me in Fire" was taken from the Smog song "Say Valley Maker", composed by Bill Callahan, which is included on the soundtrack and is basically the theme of this entire story. The end quote is also from this song.
The titles for Parts 1, 2 and 3 were taken from the Throwing Muses song "Green", also included on the soundtrack.
The title for Part 5 was taken from John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads", which was probably totally obvious.
I had thought to write more detailed notes on the mythology of this fic, the characters, the locations and settings, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc., but I neglected to do so in a timely fashion. If anyone does have a question, please feel free to ask in the comments, and I'll do my best to answer you satisfactorily.
