alt_fen{This is not another aftermath discussion post}
Thank you very much to all the players for your great work over the course of this game. I am so very glad that we are seeing the aftermath and rebuilding, at least for a bit. I know we won't see "19 years later", and I really don't want that. I've always loved stories that are real and do not just fade to black after the hero finishes his journey. I was quite fearful that we would just get the tidy exposition chapter a la J.K. This is so much better.
Thank you again and I am also looking forward to player reveals if we get them and the plot discussions that will follow such a thing after the game is done. This game will live on, just as the books themselves.
Love,
Stina

In Alternity, every player has been the protagonist in their own narrative, with their own rational, emotional, and even spiritual motivations for what they do and fail to do. It's an act of great human compassion to write the "good" characters with moments of weakness and pettiness and the "evil" characters with glimmers of courage and love.
Additionally, reading how these characters have spoken with both the living and the dead has helped me enormously, in times of joy and grief over these seven years, to think about friendship, family, commitment, and love. Though the characters are fictional, their creators (both JKR and the Alternity writers) have drawn on their own very real experiences and transmuted them as a creative gift to us.
I've also been reading alt-fen enthusiastically since its inception, though I've never posted here before. My thanks to the fen for such an insightful community with whom to F5 in solidarity!
