OMG i can't believe it's over, what will i do now? Crying or Very sad

I have laughed and cried, you truly kept me on the edge of my seat. This was a superb ending to a fantastic story, thankyou so much for keeping us entertained Very Happy

This bit was the clicncher for me, you nailed it perfectly....

99% of this story (and we do still have a couple of epilogues to go) has been about fun. It was written to amuse, but there are a few times I have put my own soapboxes in there.

And this time I wanted to show that Bumble was Ben's equal in her own way.

Just out of interest: Had anyone guessed that the Mayor was Big Al?

I've never written a story like this before and had no idea if that was too obvious, or too obscure once Ben laid out his reasoning.

No, I hadn't guessed.

The sweet spot on that is there are enough clues that the reader COULD guess, but most readers won't actually put all the clues together, and I think you got that.

What a wonderful ending (I'm a sap for happy endings)! It is well worth printing out to share with others, but would be a great book with illustrations, I agree!!

I'd love to see it with illustrations, but unfortunately that requires the involvement of someone who can draw.

I have finally posted the epilogues to tie up a couple of loose ends. My apologies for the delay in getting these out, and my thanks to Bambi for prompting me to do so now.
