***This is a bit wordy, my "acceptance speech" thank you. But.. well.... so am I.... so there's that.... Feel free to skip it! ;)
I am and will forever be grateful to Priest for her incredibly honest depiction of love, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, forgiveness and the virtues, both good and bad, of the haixingren/dixingren/banshenren (and maybe even the human) condition.
I want to thank to Rainbowse7en for his beautiful translation of the original text. Without him, it would have been years (yeah, I read that slow) before I was able to experience the purest love of these characters. His passion and devotion to the original voice; his informative explanations of cultural and social references; and his epically savage and hilarious commentary are the reasons I even dared to explore this platform and try my hand. 翻譯, 谢谢您教我!
I would be remiss if I did not also give a most special thanks to AvenueX who has lent her amazing voice to the storytelling. I am drawn in with every spoken word and although my comprehension is currently only one of every ten words, my appreciation of the language grows by leaps and bounds.
Finally, to the many authors that have repeatedly re-imagined this story but never strayed from the love at its core, thank you for being you and sharing your art with the world.
Thank you for sharing it with me.
