I want to thank everyone who has just seen the Daily Deviation and come here to read Caity's World, whether you skim only a paragraph or you inhale the entire story in a sitting. Your interest and favorites and comments (and occasional drooling fanboy-ism) have truly helped make the last two years of work on Caity's World worthwhile.

I will endeavor to personally reply to each and every comment left on the story over the next several days, but you've all left so many that it may take me a while. Please be patient if it takes some time to get to yours — if I haven't replied, it's not because I haven't seen what you said!

Please offer a big thank-you to ^fllnthblnk for giving Caity's World a Daily Deviation; I liked the story, but I never really expected it to have mass appeal, and without his very welcome tip-of-the-hat, many of you would never have seen it.

Now, for those who haven't yet read Caity's World, it's a novel that I wrote and posted here on deviantART over the last two years. I posted the final chapter a week ago. If you wonder what all the fuss is about, here's what I would put on the inside cover were I to publish it in dead-tree form:

For five years, the world was a mess. A research accident — the Change — hadn't just bent the laws of nature but had broken them, and now monsters and magic were commonplace and all too real.

But Caitlyn Camberley's life was a mess for far longer, long before she woke up one morning as a centaur. She was an average nobody, stuck in a dead-end job, living in a tiny New York apartment. Single and lonely, her life had hit rock bottom when she met Wils, a quirky, smart, and charismatic man who seemed to like her — but how could she like him when she didn't even like herself? Especially when she and he were different species? And who was suddenly chasing her, and why? And what could anyone possibly want of a would-be artist working as a lowly gofer?

Follow Caitlyn as she goes from romance to conspiracy to unraveling the mystery of the Change itself — and discovers that there are far worse things than being an average nobody in a messy world.
