I've been trying to think of the perfect way to reply to this review for the past couple of days, and I hope this is a good reply. I just feel so blessed to know that I actually made something that brought someone such joy.I feel like maybe, just maybe my dreams aren't too far out of reach. This review makes all of the past three months of work worth it. Even if just one person read this and it affected them in a positive way, that's a change in the world that I can be proud of. I love this small community we have here, and although I wish it was bigger. I wouldn't want to remove anyone from it. I'd also like to thank the admins for letting us do this, and Karp for starting this (Even if he left not too long afterwards.)

Sorry for that last paragraph, I'm not really good at expressing my feelings in a coherent manner. For the past month and a half, I've had pretty much only one night a week to work on this, and progress was so slow. If it wasn't for you asking for updates so consistently, I don't think I would have had the motivation to write during the small time I had. I can't say enough how great the cast of OCs for this season are. My writing would probably look a lot worse if it wasn't for the vibrant and unique characters that I was given to work with. Hopefully I can flesh out the Beavers next episode. I've been waiting to use this location for a long time, although placing it on a mountain was kind of a last minute modification to make it fit with the theme of this season.

Thank you so much for all of the high praises. I don't think I can put into words how happy they make me. Hopefully I don't disappoint you too badly with the future episodes. I'll try to get the next episode out in a shorter time frame than this one, but I don't have much time as I would like to work on it. I'm excited for your season, and since stage 3 is being crafted, hopefully it will be soon. Your writing has been consistently high quality from the admittedly small sample size, and I'm confident that your season will be a great one. Plus, if it wasn't for you announcing the idea for your season, then I probably would've been to lazy and overthinking to even attempt writing this season.
