THE END

[alt_moderator]

Alternity started in approximately 1999 as a work of fanfiction by a group of people (including Flourish, Tinderblast, and SlytherinDragon) and became a role-playing game in 2008. Since then, it has encompassed over 11,000 posts and countless comments, emails, chats, and an amazing amount of time and attention from and by its players.

While the game may have reached its conclusion, we are not exactly done! Don't go away because we have some fun and exciting extras planned for you. In the coming weeks, we'll unveil some additional "bonus content," host some AMAs from player- and character-perspective, talk about the process, and of course, celebrate the achievement that this story represents for all of us, and we hope, all of you.

For now, though, goodnight, and thank you for reading, responding, and being part of Alternity.

things that have made me squee

[cheyinka]

I know the codas are still being posted, but I just had to squeal with delight because Sally-Anne's vision of the aeroplane really was a true one! I was actually wondering about that this afternoon as my toddler pointed out every airplane that he saw.

And Dolohov's portrait lectures the Headmaster about standards! That's both perfectly appropriate and completely ironic!

And Evelyn marries a NASA engineer, and Cedric has a super-duper-extra-warded library, and Millicent starts a cat rescue! I love it all. Thank you all so much. (And I'll be back to comment with more glee as more things that make me squeal out loud get posted - I've loved everything, even the sad codas, though, even if I haven't squealed about it.)

Due to a bug with the reading page, several codas that were posted earlier didn't appear until just now, and they're tucked back in the list. So, you might want to read back!

The ones that we definitely know didn't show are:

Susan's
Lavender's
