Well, that's it, huh? I'm glad I came back and found out how all of this ended after… 6 years of procrastinating? Yikes.
I've been following this fanfic since at least 2009, when I was banned from the Internet for a year and I'd go over to my friend's house to read tqftl and the Scyther spin-offs. It meant a lot to me as a kid who was also writing and repeatedly rewriting very messy stories that I was attached to. Reading this is has made me want to get back into writing that kind of stuff.
Here's to another 10 years before the next revision is finished.Reply: Aww, thank you! Glad you enjoyed coming back to it, silly as it often is.

Jæja, þá er sögunni lokið. Þetta var afskaplega fín saga. Hérna í lokin voru ýmis nöfn á stöðum og pokemonum rifjuð upp, og mönnum eins og Carl. Við það rifjuðust atburðir upp líka, td vatnið með Suicune og Gyarados, hvernig Mark laug að Carl, Scyther og móðir hans og vinkona/kærasta, man ég það rétt? Drekarnir einn inni í fjalli, annar man ekki alveg… Alla vega, flott hvernig þú hnýtir alla lausa enda í lokin, td May og morðið.

I've been following this fic for 12 years now, and while I'm sad to see it's over, I'm so happy that I got to see it end. The difference from that early version I read with the "Char! Char!" to this is night and day. Now I need to re-read it - after Chapter 50 I hadn't checked in on this in a long time, so the memory of Chapters 1 - 50 is hazy to me!
Thank you for writing this. If you ever start writing original fiction, I'm sure you'll have a lot of us lining up to read it as well! :)Reply: Thanks for reading! Since you mentioned rereading, if you're interested, you can follow the weekly retrospective commentaries I'm making on each chapter from the beginning.

So when are you finishing the IALTCON? ;)Reply: Haha, it'd probably be a a new revision at this point! No idea when I'll get around to that, though. I've got a Morphic rewrite to do.

I'm not crying. I'm not crying.
I don't think I have anything left to say, except thank you, for everything. And I'll be looking forward to anything you write in the future, whether it's the commentary for TQftL or far beyond that. Just thank you for this story you've told, and for all the many years we've spent with these characters.Reply: Thank you so much for reading throughout the years (and your part in the card)! I've always really appreciated your comments.

Don't think I've ever commented before, but I've been following this fic for probably like a decade. Thank you for persevering. I can't imagine what it feels like to finally finish it. Seriously, great job. It was an amazing ride.Reply: Thanks for reading!

Is this the end? NOOOOO!Reply: Yup, this is the end! The story is over, so sadly there's nothing more to write here. But feel free to follow the commentary if you want to relive some of the earlier bits with me!

What a wonderful ending :D Congrats on finally seeing this story to a close, at long last. I loved getting to see how all the different characters ended up; it was very satisfying.
I particularly liked May's ending - her arc has long been the most interesting to me, and this is a really great way to wrap it up. I haven't reread the previous chapters in a while and can't remember if the stuff about her dad was mentioned sooner, but that would be a nice thing to work in earlier if you end up making any future revisions.
Also, speaking of rereading: now that it's all done, ebook versions would be super handy, if you ever get the chance ;)
For real though, congrats again on finishing. You should be very, very proud of yourself.Reply: Maaan, I had no idea you were still reading the fic; it was a real gutpunch to see your name on that e-card. Thanks so much for following it! I'm glad you found the resolution for the characters satisfying; that's the biggest thing I wanted to accomplish here, and I'm particularly pleased you liked how May's arc ended.
May's dad has not been mentioned in the fic proper, but it was in the spin-off one-shot Spirit. I didn't expect to end up bringing it up in the fic at all, so that's why it never came up before, but then it just sort of happened here as I was editing! There was a hint in chapter 74 where Mark noticed May didn't want to call anyone, and I thought it was nice that this scene followed up on that a little, but yeah, if I'd known I was going to make a point of it, I'd have built it up more, and will do so whenever I next revise this.
I'll look into putting together an e-book version before I start the commentary!

I've been reading this story for more than a decade now, and it's hard to believe that it's finally at an end.
You've come a super long way as a writer, and I found this a satisfying end. I look forward to reading the next version.Reply: Thanks for reading! <3

Wow. What an amazing end to this story. I have followed it since I was in middle school, and wow. Despite all the negativity you say about this, you did an amazing job!Reply: Thanks for reading!
Please stop me if you think I'm getting uncomfortably self-deprecating; I think my assessment that there's a lot of ridiculousness early on is pretty realistic, but I've also experienced enjoying a story only to see the author hate on it to the point of making me feel kind of crappy about it, and that's definitely not what I want. I'm still extremely fond of this fic and always will be, and I'm thrilled you enjoy it!
