The fire war renaissance

Chapter 70: Bonus chapter, Q and A

Here we are guys, the last thing I'll update to this story! It was pretty awesome for me to finally mark this story as "complete" before I updated, but hey, after four years of typing away, it's a 'pat on the back' moment for me. So here's the order of what's going on in this chapter: The Q&A and then the sappy goodbye note you've all been waiting for, I'm sure.

Now, I condensed the questions and reworded some so that I could answer more than one in….well, one. It's just so I don't have a string of questions asking similar stuff. But hopefully you can catch your question somewhere in here. Oh, and thanks for the questions in the reviews and the PMs everyone!

So…here we go!

Q&A:

~What was your inspiration for the story and when did you first come up with the idea?

To be honest, I didn't have a seriously epic inspirational moment for this story. For the most part, I piece mailed the plot together, and it all—thankfully—ended up fitting into a 69 chapter story.

I suppose for the sake of the question, I can say that I was simply a fangirl wondering what would happen after the TV show was said and done. But I actually thought of the general (first) plotline and the title for the show back in 2006, before the show had even ended. I told myself to wait until the end of the TV show, though, so I could make it as realistic as possible to the real ending. My original idea for this story changed so much since it first popped into my head six years ago, though. (wow, six years ago…I feel kind of old now).

~Where did the title "Fire War Renaissance" come from?

Well pretty much, the title was one of the first things I thought of. It was an easy pick for me since people usually consider the time periods after a war ends and knowledge and enlightenment occur as a "renaissance". I figured after a 100 year war and everyone's in the dark about anything but war and renaissance is bound to happen, and this was the central focus of the story.

~Did you expect the story to become as long and read as it did?

To be honest, I only hoped it would, but I never really expected it to be. Everyone who signs onto this site to be a writer always hopes they'll one day be one of those writers with the super long story with tons of reviewers, so even if this is the only story I ever write for this site that becomes this big, I enjoyed every second of writing this story, and ultimately having so many others love it as well!
