...I honestly have no idea where to begin.
    I'd like to thank everybody who's read this far, all the fans of the trilogy, but there isn't really any satisfactory way to express exactly how much thanks I have for you guys.  Even through writer's block, homework and countless delays, and also through the long periods of really intense writing during the summer, you guys have stuck to the series and helped me beyond the call of duty.  With e-mailed C+C, editing revision suggestions, or even countless letters just saying how much they liked the series; I know some of you felt uneasy sending letters like the latter, since they weren't 'constructive', but I think they still helped me get through the tough times.
    When I started Slayers Reflect, it was more of an experiment than anything else.  Could I write something other than Ranma 1/2 and still draw an audience?  Did I know the characters well enough?  Could I write for a series that was so fuzzily defined?  Could the whole thing be done primarily on the web, and would HTML fanfic catch on?  I'm pleased to report that all of the above can be answered with a resounding 'HAI!'.  I never realized when I was starting exactly how far it would go, and the end results have exceeded all expectations.
    Now, I don't like to announce future projects in footnotes -- it tends to jinx them -- but I do want to make it clear that this is not the end of Slayers for me.  As visitors to the page have noticed, I've reserved space to start doing Slayers Oneshots; short stories and other endeavors that fall outside the winding narrative of Slayers Trilogy.  I can't promise these will be done in a timely, new stuff every day (or week) fashion, but you may not want to delete those bookmarks just yet...
    I suppose that about does it.  It's been a wild year of writing, and I thank you for riding.  Be seeing you... ^_^
