Pencils Down! Blizzard's Finale and Epilogue!
🕑 Added 2020-02-04 02:51:42 +0000 UTCMy editor has finally signed off! We are finished editing the entirety of Blizzard!
Wow, this has been an intense journey since we started working together in late November. I've learned, "This looks good, this looks good, let's just take one last run through the whole thing." means "I need you to give me all of your free time for the next seven days, and then I'm going to do it all over again." But it's all worth it!
If you want to start from the beginning and see the complete novel all spit-shined and improved chapter one is here:

This is the complete Blizzard! I'd love to thank you guys who have supported me all of the way through this novel! It means the world to me to know you guys are backing me up through this project of mine. Now that it's finished, I'd love to know what you liked or disliked or any feedback you might have of Blizzard.
I'll say it one more time:
If you've been reading Blizzard from the beginning, first: thank you!
Second: you might want to read it again! I've been working with an editor, and we've improved it considerably: not just fixing the missing/wrong/extra words, and the punctuation errors, but actual changes (above and beyond making Sam a brunette). We've smoothed out mischaracterizations ("Gene would NEVER do that! ... unless we present it like THIS!"), knitted together plot holes ("given what's revealed in this chapter, these events 6 chapters earlier don't make sense"), fixed minor inconsistencies in backstory, ("so, wait, did Wayne already know who Sam was, or not?") rewritten dialogue ("... you don't know what this line means EITHER?"), and completely replaced a whole bunch of scenes. And there's more Easter eggs.
Third: The backbone of the story, the theme and the conflict, remain very much intact. What you loved about Blizzard, what made it work, is still there and standing strong, augmented by every change for the better we could make!
Thank you all for your support! I welcome all comments, criticisms, and first-born sons.
Thank you DS for your incredible job! This more than twice the story it was because of your help!
Thank you all for the support!
