Dolphin Rider Koishi - The End
Tamer Anode/Cathode:
I feel... a bit emotional now that this story's over. A bit sad that it's over, for one, but at the same time, happy for you and the cast that things have ended as well as they have. Congratulations on completing this, Rou, and looking forward to your future work, whatever that may be.
Esifex:
Out.
Fucking.
Standing.
Roukan, you have no idea how happy I am for you that you managed to drag this story, kicking and screaming, to the conclusion you wanted it to end up at.
This, by the way, is how I'm planning on easing Jen into Touhou - you've managed to be mindful of canonical powers while still putting an incredible personal twist on everything.
You've done brilliantly. Treat yourself to a drink, on behalf of all your loyal fans, and especially me.
(PS You know Ruro did a lot of work on the character page for the Tropes page, right?)
KaiserKnuckle:
Three years, eh?
I must say, this whole journey though the experiences of a place in the world called Gensouto was quite the treat for me this whole time.
You did manage to keep me on my toes for about two of them, since I found out about this (and the forum!!!) when (iirc) Mindcoil!Tewi happened. It was very hilarious, melancholic, satisfying and fleshed out the whole ride through.
Certainly, you are ascending the hierarchy of stories here.
We will root for you in the next story you will spin out for us, and who knows what after that.
Congratulations, Roukanken.
KrackoCloud:
It's over.
I don't even know how to respond to this being done. It was a great read, and one of the only reasons I ever visit PSL. I'm super glad I came across this story, and I'm happy I could at least support you with some art. Now that it's over, I only regret not putting more effort into some of those drawings. <:U
Anyway, congrats, Rou. You stuck to it until the end - it's not every writer who gets to claim that!
OverlordChirei:
Man, so many thoughts and feels going through my mind right now, so I'll try to unclutter them and say what I want to say.
Well... that's it. I didn't think I'd see the day where I'd scroll down to the end of this thread, and see the words "THE END" in bold, black letters, but here we are.
I'd been reading since Third Eye in Pure Waters, and I honestly didn't know what'd come of this AU fic, but I am glad to have stayed from Point A all the way up till Point B. This fic is what made me come out of lurking and tell you to keep going myself in IRC, even if a hundred more were telling you the same thing.
In the end, it seems it was worth it. The ending really wrapped everything up, and nothing was left undone, and was a fulfilling conclusion overall. Even though this is the absolute end, Koishi and Sango will always be out there, stomping out evil wherever it may arise, and the readers can rest knowing that they're out there keeping us safe.
As a writer myself, I have mad respect for the amount of determination you've showed to this story, and being able to survive all your problems on the side. Since I can't magically appear in front of you in person and give you a hug on this accomplishment, there's not much more praise I can give you at this point besides, "Congratulations, and well done."
May your future works be met with as much success, if not more. Even though I sort of came to the party late, I'll try to be there to help if you in future endeavors, if you require it.
