Hello. I have not been reading this fic (though I had every good intention to, back in its formative days), but I have been following all the hard work and I just wanted to pop by and say congratulations for finishing it! I will be reading it. Perhaps not right away-- I think I need to do a 2nd reading of the trilogy first.

Anyway, congrats again! :-)

Thank you! :D I look forward to anything you have to say on it, whenever you get around to reading it.

You should totally feel accomplished. This is an amazing fic, and you made it to the end! YAY!

This fic has made the characters of Finnick, and Annie, and Mags, and all the other victors so much more real, and I care about them so much more now. When I first started getting attached to them, like back in the first ten chapters or so, I thought, "Oh, man, this is going to make Finnick's death so much more painful", so I was delighted to hear you were going to do Mockingjay, too, and change that little matter. :D

Can't wait for the sequel!

Thank you FOREVER AND EVER for sticking with it and commenting and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. Thanks, too, for the virtual applause. :D

Yep. Finnick and Annie need their happy ending.
