I'm not cutting for length, those whom I wish to thank deserve to have it out in the open.

Aknowledgements-
Thanks once again to those who so kindly sent me pictures. In particular [livejournal.com profile] moose74, who sent me photos of her children and let me swap her son’s head out and actually remove her beautiful daughter from the picture altogether!

Very special thanks to AH, Brian and Justin’s neighbor in Tribeca who took so much time and effort to snap so many photographs for me and snagged menus and matchbooks, even going to far as to visit real estate open houses! Changes would have been a very different fic if not for her months of effort right alongside me from the beginning. Even without all of that you are wonderful person and I am so grateful to be able to call you 'friend.'

And, as always, thank to all of you for reading it and commenting on it and making it so much fun to do. It can occasionally be difficult to keep focused during such a long project but you guys make it fun.

So, the technical information:

The first episode of Changes was posted 7 Nov. 2005
The final episode 24 June, 2006
There were a total of 240 episodes (some were multiples, which accounts for the numbering)
The working folder for Changes contains 6941 files in 186 folders and is 1.5gig. It does not contain my stock photos of Brian/Justin Gale/Randy.
The completed size of Changes is approximately 50mb

Most of Changes was done in Adobe Photoshop. The Real Estate Post was done in Excel and a few episodes were written in Word before being transferred to PhotoShop. Any original photos which I took were taken on either a Canon Powershot A620 or an ancient Canon SLR.

As always, any place the boys stayed, and flights they took, any restaurants they ate at are real places and real flights and real eateries. The buildings and apartments that they live and work in in New York are real places. To this day no one is living in the Skylofts due to a running political battle over its renovation.

The interiors of the new loft were done in The Sims 2, by EA Games.

In closing, once again I thank you all for coming along with me on yet another very long journey.

I probably say this every time but I think Changes is my favorite:0). I like to think of the guys settling down but still having adventures and spats and exciting work lives. I enjoyed the focus on the agency and the introduction of a few new characters. And most especially, I liked how you took them to NYC but not away from their families and friends.

What an amazing universe you've created. It's been a magnificent journey from my end too. Thanks so much quinn for hours of reading pleasure. It's not only entertaining but educational too.

It has been an amazing adventure to follow along with the boys through this part of their life. Thank you so much for all of your work over the last couple years with Correspondence, Adventures, Scrapbook, Interlude, and now Changes. Yours is the ending I like to believe the boys had, and is a lot of fun to wake up and read everyday. Thanks and congrats on another great success.

THank you for this amazing journey (and since I'm somewhat a latecomer - thank you for the previous journeys also). Yours has always been the first page I click on when I get online everyday. Even if it was just an 'average' day's post it made me feel like I'm part of their world.
