Thank you so much. It's really great to know that the fic was able to impact people like that, and the support means so much to me.

Believe it or not, the characters were always written with their final placements in mind. The only proof I can think of that shows that is that Risty's character design even has her final placement (12th) as the number on her jersey. I'm glad to know that you were shocked at how the eliminations went. I think because I knew the latter part of the story would have been the most exciting is why it took me so long to actually post this. I had this typed up two years ago and just never posted it because I wasn't ready to actually say goodbye even though I'd stopped working on the story.

Thank you so much again. I really appreciate all the support.

Also, I'm adding to the original post but am going to post here that if anybody ever wants to see what I'm doing on the Internet I'm most active over at vestigial-wings.tumblr.com, which is where I post my art. You might see some familiar faces over there since I still do sketch the FYE characters and have redeveloped them for other projects.
