Author's Notes: Yes yes yes ... the scene, the scene that has sat awaiting for plot integration for more than a year! A year! More than a year! Egads! *apologies for excessive exclamations ... it’s one of those days*
Puzzling Evidence really was just this short little story when it came into my head, yet somehow it has managed to take a lot more words than I anticipated to tell it. As always, I very much appreciate the feedback, the readers – new and old – and the cheerleading. This is still the longest single story I’ve written in any genre, and I still remain rather amazed by it.
I’ve recently re-collated the chapter contents and learned that as of the end of this chapter (36), the story is at approximately 99,000 words! Those first few heady weeks of writing and publishing a chapter daily is an experience I’ll treasure forever, though of course all these months down the road that selfsame memory can be a bit disheartening – I have a sneaky suspicion that even if I had the time, I wouldn’t have the mental energy to pull these final chapters together as quickly as those first few.
In other news: this chapter has absolutely nothing to do with the S4 episode of the same name.
Thank you to my beta
mice1900 for his persistent pokes to get this one written, and incredible patience awaiting same for beta. Thank you also to my gay-sex beta darkmuadib, who I’m sure is grateful that other very capable SGA writers have been able to give him something to keep occupied with whilst awaiting new instalments. :-) As happens from time to time, post-beta tweakage was required, which has not been re-beta’d. In the hopes of having this chapter published before 2010, I trust you will all forgive me any errors that have slipped past us. Another special thanks is also due. As mentioned already, there are excessive exclamation marks in this author’s note. Without the timely suggestions of
sgatlantislight, there would have been excessive longing in the following chapter. Thank you! Also ... erm ... no, the story isn’t quite done yet. Still a few key things to wrap up, lol!
