A note from the current owner

Ladies and gentlemen, after a several-year hiatus, it is my distinct pleasure and honor to welcome brevdravis back into this story. Brev is the original author of the story, starting it some 15 years ago. I became the owner of it several years ago, before Friedman had instituted the policy of making adopters editors instead of owners.

I've had a rather enlightening conversation with brev over the last few days since his reappearance. In addition to learning a few things about the background of the story, and the virus, we also discussed ownership of the story, and we have started making plans to move forward with updating the story.

Regarding ownership, I will remain the owner of the story, and brev has been made an editor, per our conversation and brev's request.

As for the Writer's Bible, I'd like to say a brief thank-you to brev for taking the time to write it. The story has needed it for a good while, and I appreciate the effort he is putting into it. Regarding the owner's privilege clause to override his decisions, I will not be exercising that right. What brev puts forward within the Bible reflects his original intentions for the story. When I adopt stories, I do so with the intention of supporting and growing the authors vision, and I am sticking to that policy here.

Going forward, we aim to continue this story in a collaborative manner, welcoming any and all authors who wish to continue to expand the story. If you do so, please consult the Bible for rules and information regarding the story. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Again, welcome back, brev. It's a pleasure to have maintained and grown the story in your absence, and I look forward to where we, and the rest of the CHYOA community, will take it in the future.
