*HUGE round of applause*

This was amazing! It's been a fun, wild ride of a story, wavewright, and thanks for giving it to us. I was so surprise to read the last paragraph, it made me so happy! So happy, in fact, that I felt the need to illustrate it:
Spoiler: show

(Reynir happens to be my favorite character, so Madeline meeting him in the Silent World is too perfect!)

Looking forward to the epilogue!

Thank you so much!  I  XoX love XoX the illustration - may I pleeeease use it in the story?

As posted in the SSSS Scriptorium thread, I bring you the last chapter *throws confetti* of the crack opus now given its proper title: "Stranded."
http://archiveofourown.org/works/6610714/chapters/27108273

There will be an epilogue to catch up with what happens to some of these characters, but otherwise this is done, finito. 
I will go through and do a fix-up of continuity errors as best I can at some point.


*slowclap*


So is this the canon AU story of how Madeline got out into the silent world in the first place? Because that would be rad.

Canon AU? As far as the AU goes, it is how wavewright chose to write it, and I think she worked it in super well.

As far as the RP and the backstory that I have in my mind, Madeline snuck over to Sweden and got across by boat. In the regular canon, I don't know how likely it would be for a rescue truck to cross over and give her that opportunity, though we'll have to see where the comic goes.

After getting through half or so of this topic, I am in abslute awe of your imagination, skill, humour, and general wonderfulness.
As for getting inspired, I have as of now made basic notes about two self inserts (on different levels of biographical accuracy) and almost a dozen other characteres, started multiple times to try to draw anything resambling a human being and failed (maybe I should come up with a hideous troll character, that I could draw) and also I have reclaimed almost 3000 of photos from a family tour to Nordkapp from 12 years ago, under the pretext of doing some unrelated research.
At the moment I'm pretty much stuck halfway through just posting all the info here after cleaning the edges a bit for perfectionism posterity and maybe fit one or some of them into one of many adventures that go on (or will go on) in here (though would anyone need an undereducated, non-immune girl from Lofoten? She's my fave), and just plainly writing a one-shot-or-not fanfic.
Should I do both? Neither?...

Re: art- if you can write, ask around for an art trade with someone.

Re: characters- post who you've got. Someone will find a use for them in all likelihood, and the SIs might find a spot in the RP.

Heh, the chapter cover looks quite a bit like how I imagine Madeline's home looks like, with the stairs and the kitchen in the inner room. That is the one bright spot relieving my worry about upcoming events.

Teaser: most of the vignettes for the Epilogue for 'Stranded' are written, except for the wedding scene.

Wedding scene?

D'arvit there's a few ships that could fit.... AUUUUGH!

*begins putting together a giant string based wall connect the dots esque puzzle to try and determine who is most likely to get married in the epilogue and can't quite figure it out.*

............


*mutters quietly in a corner*

At least it can't be Kristján, he's an asshat...

I don't know, I hear she gets around, if you know what I mean.  Swims out to meet troopships, even.

OTOH, I never named Tuuri's boat.  *scratches chin*  I wonder if I should, when I get around to the continuity edits.  *scratches chin some more*  Aino comes to mind.  *puts lotion on scratched chin*  yesssss...  Whaddya think?  References both her ancestor and Finnish mythology, I kinda like it.  I'll think some more.
