Art
First off, the wonderful art by the ever talented
amysticka. She's been a fantastic person to work with, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to hold my hand through the whole big bang process. I mean, just look at the art - isn't it fantastic? It perfectly captures everything that Gone Are The Days is about. The link to the masterpost on her page is
here, if you liked it then please head over and let her know!
Endnotes and Credits:
Well, this has certainly been a labour of love. Honestly, at times I never thought I'd get it done, but I was lucky enough to be surrounded by a wonderful group of friends that pushed me over every hurdle that I reached. I had three wonderful betas,
dualityforce,
zamx and Bethan, who not only cleaned up after my mistakes but also helped me bounce around ideas and supplied coffee at various stages. A huge thank you to
amysticka for all of her hard work is also necessary, because this fic would look nowhere near as cool if it weren't for her.
This was a fantastic experience and, even though I'm not a 100% pleased with the fic itself, I'm sure that I'll be able to do a better job next year, and at least now I've lost my J2fic virginity! Thanks for sticking with me, guys!
