Roughly a million years ago, muniyapyne was this story's earliest fan, and you can 100% thank her for giving me the confidence to finish writing this when I was seriously considering giving up on it, and ALSO for convincing me to enter the Wattys.
She even made me a pair of alternate covers, which I have kept on my harddrive since, treasuring like a dragon. But I figured I really should share them, as appreciation for a fan whose enthusiasm means the world to me.
