Wow ... it's always a huge surprise knowing that something that I had written purely for fun was able to have an impact on people, even if the impact was just drawing them to the wiki. And I've always planned for Minerva to win but was hoping that nobody would ever suspect it while reading the story - she kind of comes off as a sidekick character since her best scenes are when she's interacting with others. I'm trying to think if there's any hints I'd given that she would be the eventual winner, but the only thing I can think of is that I've mentioned at least once that she's a big fan of Owen, who I've always considered TDI's official winner. It's a stretch to call that hint though lol.

Thank you so much for the support, and it means a lot that my writing was able to impact you in some way. I think after a while it was feedback from the wiki that kept me going and let me build FYE up into what it became, even if it is ultimately not actually finished.
