I was going to save this and respond to reviews of the ending, but I guess I'll just put it up now. Firstly, I want to thank all you reviewers.

My true blues who have been there every chapter since about the start:

Crinzin

Wizard

PrettyKittyOreo

Fireblade K'Chona

Lurks in Shadows

Tenshi

Then all my other reviewers. The once offs, the regulars, all of you REALLY ROCK!

Breezefire

JoeyStar

Jorgeiscool

Faeborn

And of course all my other reviewers who ever pressed the little purple button and said something nice about my story but whos names I have somehow omitted. Many apologies.

And, lastly, just want to shout out to my poor neglected reviewer, etcetera-cat. She was my very first reviewer of the very first chapter of my very first story, but somehow, although I got the notification email, the review was never posted to the site, even weeks later. I'll post the email here, I think.

Herald Kelsin,

The following review has been submitted to:

Brightly Burning: Just So Long AsWe're Together

Chapter: 1

From: etcetera-cat

Hmm... interesting... Yes, there is a 'fic similar to this floating around thenether regions of this section, but I don't believe it's been updated in awhile. Also, plot and style fads populate this place like there's no tomorrowso I wouldn't particularly worry about treading on someone's toes...You have an easily readable writing style, which is nice, and an actual apparentcommand of English language and the basic rules of grammar (somethingdepressingly lacking all too often) which is pleasant and increases thereadability of your story. Nice set up and introduction, if a little short ondescriptives here and there. I presume things are going to kick off properly inthe next chapter? I await with interest...etcetera-cat" I feel bad about the neglect, so just shouting out to etcetera-cat, who is a really good fanfiction writer and whom I am thanking for that review.

Chapter 14 (sort of): Notings

Kel, Meral and Risa, Arysa, Erran, Laran, Nera, Tera, Fara and assorted other characters plus the writing and part of the plot idea was mine.
