Oh, this was SO GOOD. I love this story so much. I love that we got to finally see Insano come out to play, I love that Linkara and Spoony had their confrontation, and I love that Critic got redeemed, and I love that people were LISTENING to the broadcasts and I love that Snob came home.

I'm so glad you found a way to finish it and make it work, because the fandom would have been lesser without this fic and its great ending.

Ah, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it...I was very worried about the ending. And thank you overall for always leaving reviews...I really do appreciate it.

And Snob told him in return of his journey. Of the wastes, and the woman he'd found naked with knife in hand, beaten but unbroken. Of the tribe that had taken them in and given what little they had.

Oh my god, I keep picturing in my mind Jillian being that poor beaten, naked, unbroken woman that he takes in under his wing and nurses back to health and (God willing)falls in love with! Eeeeee! That would be so romantic!

And I love the idea of other TGWTG future contributors as newcomers each with thier own powers and ablities. Like Todd and Lupa. And the part where everyone reconciles over all of the worst things they had to review. It was great, I loved it! :D

INORITE! <3 I totally thought the same thing ;) And I assumed that his "Tribe" are all the other members of Team Snob (Jerrid, Brian, Sarah, etc...) and maybe Dan and Ted too! :D

I had descriptions in there at one point to make it clear who some of Snob's people were, but it was bordering too much on RPF for me. But you're not wrong. ;)

Thank you so much for sticking with it!

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!!!!!!!

I ... There arent ... I can't ... Good god ... I just ... WOW!

*deep breath*

Okay, um ... this is officially the best fanfic I have ever read and one of my personal favorites. Hell since it EASILY exceeds 50,000 words I'd have to chalk it up as one of my favorite novels! I honestly can't praise this thing enough. The pacing was excellent, the tension gripping, the characters heartbreaking and endearing, and the ending is honestly PERFECT - satisfying, fulfilling, and with the perfect balance of bitterness and redemption for Every Single Character! Hopefully I'm not falling too much into hyperbole, but honestly, I love this thing so much that I can't be bothered to notice its flaws <3

The total count was 95,683 words...and that's AFTER the edits. At least now I know I can write a book if I want to

This story was so great! I love how Insano came out and how he acts around Linkara, the battle between Spoony and His alters versus Critic, I adore how you explained what Chick did to Critic and his redemption, thank you so much for that, I love Critic and I felt even angry for what he was doing and the explanation that it was not really himself was just great! I love how the others made him stay. Insano is just great! And how Snob came back and others found them and joined the group.

I'm very glad you managed to finish this story and you should feel very proud of it, because it was great.

It was funny reading the comments and seeing how mad everyone was at Critic...I honestly felt weirdly bad and wanted to be like 'wait, it's not all his fault!' *laughs*

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I'm glad you liked the ending. :)

Dear lord, this was one of the best fics I've ever read. I'm not usually a huge commenter even on fic I really like, but I had to tell you that.

I'm sad it's over but the ending was breathtaking. Couldn't have been wrapped up better, honestly. This is gonna be one of those ones I reread periodically, I can tell.

[villis]

Thank you so much!! This was my first epic-length piece of writing, and I learned a heck of a lot from the process. I'm really glad you enjoyed. :)
