2. The Running Man by Ashley [Comments - 11] (4883 words)
Thanks for all the feedback, you guys! I promise the story won't be so depressing all the way through lol. I'll be putting up cast pictures as we get further in, but the next couple of chapters will be more about establishing all the main characters, so stick with me!

And in case anyone was wondering, Talis is pronounced like Telise (tuh-leese)... I just wanted to be needlessly difficult lol.

Okay, so this it! And I just can't thank you guys enough for sticking with me through this one. This is definitely the most emotional thing I've ever written, so thank you for hanging out through all the tears and all the squees and the hiatuses as well. 2008 was a rough year for me, so this has been a means of catharsis, and it's helped a LOT. I've had SO much fun with you guys, and I hope to see everyone again for the next adventure. But in the mean time, I really hope you like the ending... even if you wanna kill me for it! lol Love y'all. - Ash
