Flicker: The Game Of Chance

Word of Thanks

First of all, what I would like to do is to express my deepest gratitudes to everyone who has read the story. Whether you read one or two chapters, half of them or the whole thing - whether you voted on one chapter, a few of them or every single one, I would like to express my deepest gratitudes to each and every one of you. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all your contribution of reading my story greatly; I appreciate each of you more than you could ever think and I hope you all have enjoyed the story while it lasted.

That being said, I do some people to thank specially:

SPECIAL THANKS

Mitsushi9:
First and foremost, the person I'd like to thank the most is my little sister. She was the first person to read the first chapter and the first one to read the last - the first one to give me suggestions and constructive criticism. She was my motivation and hope whenever I'd felt like I didn't want to work on the story anymore, and she was the one who would give me ideas on how to move the story forwards when I had absolutely no clue on what could happen next. So for that, THANK YOU, FROM THE BOTTOMEST OF MY HEART! ILYSM AND KEEP BEING THE IDIOT YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN!! See u later, mangooe pineappol (inside joke).

wholesome_fruitcake:
A good inspiration and an amazing author. We may have had some ups and downs here and there throughout the Flicker era, but at the end of the day I can surely say that you are one of the coolest people I've known, and I wish you well on your future endeavors and Wattpad career!

giieeen:
Small contributions made here and there. For example - number of chapters, the length of words in certain chapters, and a literal walking theasaurus because you literally know like a billion different words for anything. Appreciate your help throughout the series!

My English teacher(s):
This may be a little bit of a weird shoutout, considering that they will not see this directly. However, without these teachers I would have never gotten to the level of English that I am at now. I would like to specially thank Mrs H, for the almost 3 years of English teaching which has made me come upto this level. Secondary gratitudes go to Mr F and Mrs J, who helped maintain the English level for the last few months of Grade 10 and helped me to ensure that I'd pass the Grade 10 final exam which was in November, and for that I could never repay them the eternal gratitude I owe.

CREDITS

Flicker/JJ Studios:
This one is a no-brainer. The entire story uses characters owned by JJ Studios and the entire premise of the story revolves around their game.

Danganronpa/Spike Chunsoft:
I mean, it's not like Spike Chunsoft literally helped me write the story, but I did take inspiration from some of the things they've done in Danganronpa.
For example, Carlos's disappearance was inspired heavily from Kyoko's disapperance in the first game; although Kyoko disappeared for investigating a locked area whilst Carlos was kidnapped, the idea of the detective's disappearance was still inspired by that.
Another example would be Kiryomi's death scene. It is taken directly from a Danganronpa character's death scene!

Squid Games/Hwang Dong-hyuk:
Not much inspiration is taken but still some -- for example, some of the deaths are inspired by theirs but heavily altered.

Significant Cigarettes, Remains, Story of Hour:
Some of the poetic quotes are quotes from these pieces of literature.

The Mimic/CT Studios:
A lot of the paranormal stuff is inspired from The Mimic. For example, Veronica meeting the souls of the dead and talking to them was originally inspired by the gathering of all of Yasu's ancestors in Book 1 Chapter 3, and then heavily altered to fit the story.

ibis Paint X, Pinterest, Fontspace:
The three apps used to create the thumbnail art of Flicker. (Not just Flicker, but also Ryuu and Journey and any other stories which may be upcoming).

Aaaand... that marks the end of Flicker! Once again, I'd like to express my deepest gratitudes to everyone, THANK YOU!! This could not have been possible without all of you... And I guess that's about it for now! Farewell, Flicker - farewell, all of you!
