Random author notes and stuff.

First off, here's my friend's version, so go check it out. CHECK IT OUT, I SAY! Hahahahahahahaha :)

http: (doubleslash) www (dot) fanfiction (dot) net (slash) s (slash) 3955587 (slash) 1 (slash) The(underscore)Inferno, as written by my good friend Flaming Telepaths.

Second, if anything was a bit obvious in how I described the characters, I'd like to remind you that I did write it for my history teacher, who is 30-33 (I can't remember), a guy, a professor working on his doctorate (he'll be one next semester), has one son (that I know of), and is divorced (a fact of which I am 90 percent certain is true). Basically, he doesn't really have free time. But I think he does have a life. Unlike us UHS folks, where the people interested in having A's go nowhere on Friday or Saturday nights. (Or myself, who had enough free time to paint a watercolor for the front of the binder I stuck my paper in.)

Thirdly, the reason why pretty much only the Death Note characters spoke to me myself directly was because most of them are geniuses and it is highly likely they all know English (especially since L, Mello, and Matt all lived in the UK for quite some time). Not all of the Naruto characters are geniuses (Itachi's pretty much the only one), and since the world they came from does not actually exist and was created by a Japanese-speaking man, they more than likely speak Japanese. I do not speak Japanese. Therefore, L, who speaks Japanese, had to translate for me.

Tetra-ly (which is a word I just made up), I know that as the paper goes on it seems to go faster. That is because a) I was sleepy, and b) because my parents kept yelling at me for making the paper really long. I hereby propose to let the official reason be that as my mental skills (during the journey) declined, so did my mental acuity, emotional stability, and memory capabilities. As you can see, by the end of the eighth circle, I need caffeine to keep going.

Quintus (which is not a word I made up), all of the references to Latin are because of three (tres) reasons: Unus) Because we are required to take Latin for two years at school, duos) Latin is the language Catholic services are said in, and Dante was Catholic, and tres) Mr. Orgill is a Latin ninja, which I previously stated at the end of the last chapter.

Sextus, I only used two semi-rude phrases that I actually typed out because it is a school assignment. If the word was appropriate (i.e. damn) and called for (it wasn't), then I would have used it because as a writer I try to be as realistic as possible. With that said, yes, I am a bit prideful, yes, I am actually smart (although I'm generally horrible in the mathematics department), yes, I get seasick occasionally, and yes, I got a higher score on my Roman Research Paper than Albert did, though Audrey, Nicole, and Sargon scored higher, and Devin garnered the same score as myself.

A note on "damn": it was originally a term used as a verb, and basically had the meaning "Go to hell!" It is also used as "They are damned," which means "They are going to Hell," etc. etc. That is the only reason why it would have been semi-appropriate in this paper, although I didn't use it because other souls can't really tell me to go to hell when I'm already in it.

Septimus, yes, I was at one time a Mello fangirl. I was also a Matt fangirl and an L fangirl, although I never liked Raito (because he was a conniving bastard) or Near (because he was just plain freaky). I was also a Deidara fangirl and an Itachi fangirl, although I have ALWAYS hated Sasuke with a passion. (Currently I am not a fangirl of any of those listed above or any other anime character not listed above.)

Octavus, I didn't alter the writing in any way, shape or form before I put it up here, apart from un-double spacing the document, putting each canto into its own document, and adding the character info relevant to the chapter at the bottom. The only editorial change I made was in re-numbering the Cantos, as I originally skipped V and went straight to VI, a mistake that absolutely ruined the rest of the day when I figured it out.

And last, but not least, nonus, I didn't realize until after I had written a 26-page document that double-spaced out to 39 pages and a seven page character guide that was not double-spaced and got a 1/2" binder to hold it all and painted a watercolor title page that I was only receiving 50 points for the completed project.

So now I feel horrible, because I wrote this extremely large paper, and then on my final I completely B. the in-class essay because I couldn't remember what to write about, which basically means I ruined Mr. Orgill's vacation.

I've also put booby traps all around my room in case he invades with other Latin ninjas like Mrs. Downer or Mrs. Phannaphob or Ms. Lee.
