474:Vast

Author Notes
When I first started coming up with Rain (back in 2004 with the old fantasy version), my goal was actually to have the story include every denomination. Every. Single. One.

I also thought there were a lot less back then (like, I literally thought LGBT was all there was). As I've gone, I've learned how there are so many - so VERY many - different sexual and romantic orientations and gender identities out there. I am STILL learning new things to this day. And it's helping me learn not just about the diverse people in this world, but also quite a bit about myself too. (I don't remember if I ever mentioned it here, but I'm still working out my own sexual orientation.)

It's fascinating and wonderful to see all this diversity, and yet also extremely overwhelming. And it's really put into perspective just how lofty my initial goal was. I'm starting to believe that including everything might be kinda tricky (especially given that I have barely begun to scratch the surface). Not to mention, as has been made clear to me with the last page, I've still got a lot to learn. So I'm just going to say this: I'm going to do the best I can. It's all I can do, really. ^_^

Worst case scenario, I plan on writing for the rest of my life. If Rain ends and your denomination isn't covered, I might just be saving it for the next story. ^_^
