If you are reading this, then it’s over. Changing History, the fanfiction saga that has encompassed my life for the past 15 years (off and on) is finally complete.

- Changing History {FF.Net}
I must admit to mixed feelings. On the one hand, I’m very pleased with the results of my hard work. I’ve reached so many people over the years with this story, far more than I ever imagined I would, and I’ve learned so much about myself as a writer. And I feel like I’ve done the story justice, as if I’ve said the things I set out to say. I’m also very excited for the many other projects I have in the works, both fanfiction and original.
But I must also admit to a disconnected feeling. I sit down to the keyboard and my first thought is still “What do I need to do for Changing History?” Discovering that the answer is “Nothing” has been a strange sensation. I find myself asking if I’ll even know what to do with myself now, without Mel and Boromir urging me on. They have been a part of my life for so long, leaving them behind seems almost unimaginable. But I know that I must. I leave them in good hands, the capable hands of readers who love them and who will keep them alive. And while they will always be special to me, and I owe them so much, it is time for me to let them go, to release their hold on me and give myself to other things, other projects, other dreams.
So long, Calenhiril. Be at peace, Son of Gondor.

I can’t imagine the emotions going through you right now. You have put so much heart into this saga, so many chapters and sections and hours and days! Be proud of yourself and your work. If you need to gush about your feelings, I am here for that. Congratulations to you and Melody and Boromir for making it through this journey.
