WE DID IT, FAOII! WE REACHED QUILL!
Five years of working on this. 200 agents that either said "no thanks" or nothing at all. Dozens of re-writes. Thousands of moments of doubt. All of it has finally come to this. We reached Quill. No matter what happens now, this book will be a physical, real thing. People will be able to read Kaiya’s story. Her world will not be lost to oblivion.
Thanks to all of you.
I can not adequately explain my feelings on the matter. For so long, this has been my everything. And now there’s finally a chance of it becoming more than that. Mostly, I feel humbled. Elated. Terrified. Alive.
It is wonderful.
The battle isn’t over, of course. There’s still a couple weeks left in the Geek and Sundry Contest. It’s going to be hard-- damn near impossible, actually-- but according to the rejection-letter-origami-zoo I have sitting in my office, so was getting this far. "Impossible" is just a word, and not one that is in faoii vocabulary.
We’ve made it this far. We can take that hill, and we can still claim more victories in the final month before the campaign ends. The idea of "failure" is officially behind us-- there is no losing now.
Fight on, Faoii. I have never been so proud of this army as I am now.
Thank you for everything.
