Gazman I loved the ending you gave us all. I'll use spoilers as most folks are still sleeping so won't have read the final part yet.
You told us that SK see's us! We, the little scrabbling spiders in the night-time! He sees that we're his most constant of readers... and he let us in! To his kitchen :laugh: but mostly, his heart. I love how you made Marsha sound... just like Marsha. When she's talking with Stephen at the end, I could actually hear her soft spoken little voice. And I also love the ambiguous ending... did Jordan just screw us over? Or save us? :biggrin2:

Thanks Gaz, you did a truly great job of tying things up.

Well done to everybody, I have had such a wonderful time working on this story, I've laughed and cried, (Gaz's ending made me cry the first time I read it... my silly little heart is so frigging tied up in this place I honestly don't know how I will peel myself away when the doors close.)
I've stayed up way too late at night and just absolutely lost myself in this tale. Thanks you guys, you've all been amazing. ♥

Gazman -- what can I say... you brought us home. I was flabbergasted by the ending. Perfect in absolutely every way!


I had to privilege to work with this awesome group of writers/ friends/ tet-mates behind the scenes. Like Flake, I have laughed and cried while reading the story parts. As I re read your ending, Gaz, tears flowed this morning. You found the core of the SKMB. Thankee.

I had to read it again – it made me laugh all over again. Bev getting away with being a corpse, Ceefor with the “Happy Birthday”s, Sai King going all Jordy Verrill stupidified, Cori calling a handman, the 4 R’s of Demon & Vampire maintenance - just a normal day when the Ka-tet gathers. Oh, Ghost and his tripping up and Lin and her broken ribs and miracle of restored eyesight! I’m gushing but it’s well deserved.
You are so sweet. Thank you for such nice energy!

Spot on. Gazman gave us such a terrific ending. Whether it be THe last Con/Kon or KCon -- which way does the reader go? And do we do it all again? Clever ending that really did just incorporate all that came before. Wonderful job, Gazman!

I wanted to read the whole story before commenting, I'm just blown away.

To all the writers, this story is one of the best things to ever come from the collective soul of the SKMB. It has everything a true member of the SKMB could hope for, it's all just....there. The humor, the story line, the settings, and OH THE CHARACTERS!....LOL. This is a story that, if we could put it in a time capsule and bury it for the ages, we could all be proud of how entertained, and probably a bit confused, the finders of this wonderful memento would be upon reading it. You all deserve so much credit for the all the great details, the weirdness, the humor, and just the out and out SKMB-NESS of the the whole project. Thank you all for standing true and telling a tale we can all be proud of. This place brings out the best of us and makes us one from many. DJ, Flake, all the authors, you did real good. We say thank ya.

I must say, I'm surprised you have not commented that your AK-47 semi-automatic had power steering.

I have just had a horrible a-ha moment.

This last Kon is AFTER Marsha retires. We won't get to see any pictures. I am truly bummed.
They will need to be posted on The Playground. When we had H Dorian, Frank was able to set up a thread that anyone could use without being a member. Maybe if we ask..... That could be our meeting place?
