Closing Author's Note

I was about halfway done with “The Battle of Sigma Octanus IV” before I decided to post it on this site. The whole story took me over a year to write, with a few months in between that I didn't work on it at all. The story-writing process has had its ups and downs, but it's certainly been an awesome ride. Plus it's the first story I've ever finished. Woohoo! (lol).

Anyway, I hope you had fun reading it, and I hope I provided you all with some halfway decent entertainment. Personally, I had a blast writing this and, yes, I'm toying with the idea of writing a sequel. I haven't convinced myself yet, but we'll see what happens.

As far as the ending goes, I hope you all liked it. I really wanted to make it a long finale, but as I wrote it, I discovered that everything fit better in a short chapter. I've also found that many stories nowadays have endings that are kind of depressing, and that's not what I wanted for mine. I wanted a happy end to a story that had both its tragedies and its good times. I hope I've accomplished that.

Thank you so much to all my loyal readers and, most of all, reviewers--this story would be absolutely nothing without you, so thank you all very much! ;-)
