Update (F.C.)

[Matkin22]

Taken from Matkin22's BMGf Blog

Chapters 39, 40, and the epilogue of Final Challenge have all been written (but not uploaded). This leaves me with just one last chapter to write, and it certainly looks to be the longest and most intense of all.

It's drawing closer and closer to an end. The last chapter.

Chapter 39 will be uploaded on the 23rd on Fanfiction.net, the 24th on BMGf, and the 25th on SPPf. Chapters 40, 41, and the epilogue will all be uploaded on September 5th, exactly one-year to the day that it was started (meaning a September 6th upload on BMGf and September 7th on SPPf). In between now and then are several long shifts at work, packing, driving 6 hours up to Ottawa, and meeting everyone as I go into University for the first time. The last week is going to be the most hectic for me, and I can guarantee I will have no time to write in between my getting there and the deadline.

So essentially, I have to be finished writing by the 25th. That's only 11 days, and I have five days of work in there too. So 6 days where I can write (and watch the Olympics, of course).

Getting this done in time will be my final challenge (pun completely intended).

I hope you've all enjoyed reading it; the climax is nearly here.

Trust me; you will all be stunned by the ending.

Its almost sad to hear that its coming to an end, but everything has to eventually.

Well as always I'll be waiting for the updates, and I doubt that I'll be disappointed with them. Good luck with moving to college.

Well, it's finally ending. The one fic I feel will earn you your spot in the AdvanceShipping Top 5. This work here is on even quality with even some of PikamasterADV's stuff. It's that good, and you've earned the community's respect because of it.

Heh, thanks guys. I'm having trouble in starting the last chapter. I had about a page and a half written, and then I realized it would be best at the end of the penultimate chapter instead. So I'm back to square one there. I know what I need to write, I'm just having trouble finding the words.

It's gonna be a last-minute push to make it.

[RobSp1derp1g]

I'm sure you will make it.
Keep that up and the words will pop up.

Chapter 39 is up. It looks like I may miss my self-imposed deadline (extended until August 30th).

[Matkin22]

And I didn't miss it (thanks to staying awake until 2 for the last few nights). In fact, I finished a day ahead of my deadline. I'm astonished. Now all I have to do is go over some parts and make sure they make sense.

I can't believe it. I'm finished. It's over.

Congratulations! Can't wait to read it!

[Matkin22]

Updated and finished. I uploaded the last three installments about 20 minutes after midnight today (Sept. 5), exactly one year to the day after it began (Sept. 6)

[JbstormburstADV]

YAYS!!! I'll read it right now!

[thedarkfiddler]

Over? *Is trying not to cry*

[JbstormburstADV]

....I hate you for making it so depressing...

[timoteyo7]

wow! I have never even heard of this story until now, I clicked on it and was like OMFG 200+ reviews!!??

Its absolutely amazing for a Pokemon fanfic to top 100! This must be one hell of a story! You must have been so happy to get so much delicious reviews... (yes I'm addicted) Once my story hits a 100 I'm going to throw a 100 reviews party! lol

I'm going to read this to see if this fic is really all that and a bag of chips like everyone says it is. (Probably going to take me 2 days to read) See ya!

[Matkin22]

Yes, it's over TDF. But it's been one hell of a year.

I thought that the epilogue made it a bit more uplifting. From day one I'd always planned on that ending to happen.

And thanks for that Timo. Those 300+ reviews on Fanfiction.net aren't including the ones on BMGf or SPPf eitehr. It's been one hell of a reception for my first fanfic.

[MagmarFire]

Wow. After reading it, I feel simply unworthy to review. You don't disappoint, and you just leave us wanting more. The way you ended it was EPIC. Depressing, yes, but EPIC. This update was FTW!!!

I applaud you! *bows*

...Now excuse me while I go kill something...
