I'd like to thank the Reddit /HFY and Royal Road communities for everything.

It's been a long road, but we reached it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I'd also like to thank my wife and kids for putting up with me.

And Zeus, Father of the Muses, for blessing me with lightning bolts.

Two hits in 3 years. Well, one hit, one near hit that knocked me down.

Just shy of 3,000,000 words.

We did it.

Thank you for being here.
