User blog comment:Gideoncrawle/Featured Story Acceptance Speech: The Great Quest Completed/@comment-2021069-20110607201332

...Well it's about time. I've read most of the story (though I don't think I had ever finished it, though I probably will soon) and it really is an amazing piece of work. It's really hard to believe that it's fanfiction. It's rare that anything quite like TDI-G&S comes around and all the hard work that must have been put into it really deserved the featured title. So congratulations!

I'm actually in a little bit of disbelief at the fact that at some point the story had only one more support than oppose vote. I wasn't really frequenting the wiki often at the time (and definitely not on the Featured pages) and so it seems strange to me. I guess no original plot is a justifiable answer, but I think what you have done is similar in some way to the many TDI reimaginings out there.

But again, congratulations!
