I don't think there's ever been a fic I've written that hasn't been without the help of lots and lots of people -- especially the big ones. >.>
In this case, Erin and Meimi and Ann all shoved me off the cliff into KKJ fandom and then peered interestedly over the ledge as I fell, screaming. The three of them have spent an ungodly amount of time encouraging me and correcting my canon mistakes [so if there are still glaring errors, it's my fault. Or, er, it's an AU. Yeah! It's an AU! Really!] and looking through their copies of the volumes I don't have to check details for me, and I am very grateful.
Erin, especially, has put up with me screaming over NOIN-SAMA!!!!!!! and run up and down stairs to answer nitpicking canon details [usually it runs something like -- Meg: When Sindbad kisses Jeanne for the first time, are his eyes opened or closed? Erin: O_o; *runs upstairs to check* Can't tell. Meg: DAMN] -- and sent me her extra copy of vol 3. =3
