I have to say a special thank you to my beta,
flutter-owl, who beta'd
War Of The Regions IN AN ENTIRE DAY.
ONE DAY.
That's 55k in a few hours. She deserves all the praise, and she caught all of my little mistakes, all of my British-isms and turned it into something cohesive and readable. She did not once complain to me, no matter how many times I spelt 'realize' with an 's', or screwed up my italics.
So lots of praise for her, forever!
