I'm incredibly chuffed to receive such heart-warming comments. There are so many good writers on this forum that I feel genuinely amazed that so many people read my story. I just really want to thank you wonderful people for sticking with me on this epic tale.
I didn't know at the beginning that it was going to be an epic tale. I expected it to be a short romp through medieval times but when I sat down to write each chapter, I often didn't know where the story was going. In fact, my original story outline bears only a glancing resemblance to the final outcome.

My husband wanted me to end it by Chapter 30 so I could focus on other priorities but... well the characters in my head didn't want to let it go. Each time MrMagz would read a chapter and say "where are you going with this?" Then he offered to be my Occam's razor and cut about 50,000 words out of the story so I could end it before Chapter 50. Needless to say I was horrified. I did manage to sneak a few lines back in. I especially wanted to give a shout out to some Forum members whose stories I've admired. Many of you recognised their characters and I hope I did them justice.
Anyway, thanks again for reading. I have so many ideas for more stories but I want to wait for The Sims 4... and a few other pressing priorities.
