Hello! This is the first review page and I want to thank you so much for reviewing!
Please review each chapter ^_^ Robin and I worked very, very, very hard on this story! He worked wit me 50/50 all the way to chapter 45. Eclipse, Ellipsis, Ryan, Dennis, Elizabeth and a few randoms are all Robin's characters.
It literally took years! Plus, the coding for the pages, separating it into chapters, working the links in at the bottom... all done by me and oh so much work! Oh, plus the pictures... you honestly don't know the nightmare involved in getting those *dizzy* we actually spent well over $70 cash to get them for you guys! They're also the reason why I had to code and host the story myself rather than use fanfiction.net... and the cost of hosting... I'm not even mentioning. SO THANKS FOR REVIEWING!
Your reviews are all the thanks I need to keep going! As mentioned, there should be a third story in addition to OMWF and TRLF! BUT I'm only going to complete it if I see interest and Interest is shown by reviews!
I have made it so you do not have to register to the forum in order to review 
I'm separating the review pages by chapter so I can better keep track of what people are talking about and to keep the spoilers to a limit!
Also! In the first post of every review thread there will be a link back to the chapter you were on, as well as a link to the next chapter in case you're ready to move on!
Chapter Notes
By now you all know who TRLF is about!
... It was so hard to say "he" that entire first half when refering to Drake. I even typed "Drake" a few times by mistake and had to correct them! XD
Chaucer, as pictured, was pictured wrong. The artist drew him with a LOT more facial hair than we'd planned. However, once seeing the detail and time she put into it, we shrugged and decided to go with it ^_^ Same goes for their hair color. Originally, their hair was a much darker brown.
We are unsure why Marina's clothes while she's in bed are the same as when she is on the throne. We blame my stupid Avatar edit I gave to the artist because that is what she was wearing and I never mentioned she could wear anything else.
Artists comment (any time an artist requests we add in a note for an image, we will do so here in the review section) on that picture, "I made Drake SO tiny..."
Funny fact: One of the reasons that there are Birds on Marina's throne is because of Drake. For quite a few reasons, the artist thought he resembled a bird and wanted his mommy to have a connection with him. Both Chaucer and Marina's thrones have a connection to Drake-- the artist used the thrones to represent that unknown connection. "It's right there, but it's behind them. Forgotten but ever present in the back of their minds."
Little known fact about the pictures: I like the sun beams coming in through the window.
The names Chaucer and Marina consider for Drake are a mix of names I thought were funny or thought were fairly cool and might actually fit Drake.
You can tell which are which by who offers them XD And the response Eclipse gives.
For 90% of this entire story, Robin wrote for Eclipse and Ellipsis and I wrote for Drake. I had the initial idea, but the story I had was.... like, 30 pages. With Robin's help it became 400 and then I took over adding in the ending and a few connecting scenes for TRLF and OMWF. (Eclipse is Robin's character because my version sucked. He was far too lame for how evil he really is, Robin did a magnificent job making him, like, super evil)

I'm so excited about this! But over $70?! for the pictures? I didn't know they would cost that much but they are good. I like the review button at the end of each chapter but it took some time before I could really see the word review in it, but it's really cool. But I don't think Drake would be in the back of their minds with what he does.

Not every picture cost $70... luckily. Most I used gaia gold to pay for! But I had to buy monthly collectables and GaiaCash to afford it and the price of that was intense... Worth it all, though!
The Review button might be altered in coming chapters so it'll be easier to see! Thanks for noting about it!

YAY TRLF!!! I already hate Eclipse for even thin king that someones baby was his before it was even born. Partly for personal reasons. Great pictures and the review button is awesome! Still $70 for pictures must mean you really like us. This was definitely worth the wait to get.

Now come one come all to this tragic affair
Wipe off that makeup, what's in is despair
So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you're someone you're not |

Great first chapter, I thought TRLF would start off a little after OMWF not before it but it is good, and it's like I'm rereading a story as I know what eventually happens.
the review button was hard to see but I knew it was the review button.
I'm really looking forward to reading this story.

No words can describe the intro page. Whoever did it, did an amazing job of it. Everything is perfect and I can't imagine it being any better.
About the review button: Shiny button! Must click!

Ravyn did an amazing job on the front page! I don't think I'll ever see another fanfiction so elaborately presented with so much effort. ^_^
