THE END

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.

Sorry! It's a DW bug that we're trying to diagnose. Arista's last post, and the last post of Alternity, is here.

I don't know if it's you guys testing, but I've noticed the number of "previous" posts displayed on the alt_player read page bouncing around in terms of numbers all day. 30, then 17. (I'm waiting for 23 because Galleons ;) ) Figured I'd give a heads up in case it's not you!

It was indeed me testing -- we've narrowed down the point at which the "mysterious post duplicated out of order at the bottom of the reading page" starts happening and for now I've set the skip value to the highest point at which it doesn't so y'all can read without getting confused.

(And, uh, I guess this is the point at which I out myself as a player? SORRY GUYS I KNOW WE WERE SAVING THAT FOR LATER IN THE WEEK I JUST DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE THINKING THAT DREAMWIDTH WAS RANDOMLY MESSING WITH ALT-PLAYER)

EDIT: And the post that (we think) was causing the duplication bug has fallen out of the array of posts that are initially fetched to build the reading page, so the problem isn't happening now no matter how many posts are on the reading page. Technology! Gotta love it.

Ha! Okay :D I was going to blame Kreacher, personally. ;)
