An adventure none of them will ever forget.

Oh man, what a ride! I had the first idea of writing such a story back in February, while I was working on my Reverse Big Bang entries. But I never, ever would have expected for it to turn into the monster it became XD

Over the summer, I was really afraid that I would have to drop out, since my computer decided to pull the b**** card on me, and my writing (in general) was somewhat hindered. But finally, in September, this front was cleared and I could focus on the story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was soooo happy when I got the email that my dear friend kanarek13 picked it to make some artwork for it - see the abundance of beauty she came up for it here.

Whenever she put a new artwork in our shared folder on Dropbox, my heart soared, and it was by times a great motivator. Thank you, sweetie!!! ***********tacklehugs*********** It was a pleasure to work with you, and more than once, you literally blew me away with your talent!

Last but not least, I would like to say "thank you" to my beta reader sherylyn. Without her, some parts of the story wouldn't sound half as good as they do now. Thank you, Shery, you did an awesome job, and I hope that I haven't caused you too much headache with mixing English and German (at some points) XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, all that's left for me is to hope you, my dear readers, will enjoy the adventure, hopefully as much as I did when writing it. The remaining four chapters will be up in the next few days, so please keep checking the entry on AO3 or subscribe to the story if you like it.

I know that there are some gaps in there, they will be addressed in a sequel I'm working on.

*****HUGS BACK***** I really had "a good time", to quote Neal, writing it, and knowing that it would get artworks from the most talented in the fandom was and is the cherry on the icing of the cake.
