Dalton - Episode 27 - Blackout (Part 1)

Author’s Note:

Hi, I’m CP Coulter and I’ll be your author for this fic.

A year has passed since I first wrote the pilot episode for Dalton, and I can honestly say that never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that it was going to bring me to this point, that I would have written something the some people even cared to read about, let alone wait for. Each and every time I look at things readers send me, notes or artwork, gifts and videos, I am always taken by surprise. I often feel like Alice, wondering if I am still myself, and (if I were not) if I had changed so many times that I was someone else.

A long time has passed since the beginning, and I am learning about myself each day as a human being, flaws included. That it was alright to be strange, to be different, to do something that made me happy, to want to be happy, living each day trying to be a better person than I was yesterday. And I wanted to thank each and every one of you, friends and family, for accepting me, flaws, strangeness and all, and for helping to shape me into the person that I am. And it is a new beginning for me, this year. To learn from my mistakes, to live without regrets, to look forward to the future with hope, and to just go with what life brings.

Life has brought me you, and this story. And I am forever grateful for all of you.

And now an important note. Please read and bear with me; I am aware that this is very different from what we are all accustomed to, but I am trying out this new venture for this next Episode, and I humbly hope for your understanding (I’m not Han, I can’t work miracles on websites like he can):

•  First: You have noticed that this new episode will appear firstly on my own site (www.cpcoulter.com). However, I will still be updating Episode 27 on Fanfiction.net, but only once the episode is complete here.
   
• Which brings me to my second point: Episode 27 will be in staggered posts (if you remember how we did it with Hell Night, then that’s how it will work, in parts). This is because I am aware that the tumblr interface that my site is currently (but will not always be) reliant upon now currently has a number of limitations in place, and it won’t be possible to post the entire episode in one shot. This staggered posting also serves to deliver the episodes into more easily readable chunks and to enable faster page loading.
   
• Third: This also means that all the other Dalton episodes so far will be reposted onto this site. The episodes will all be reposted and properly catalogued into a new page in the Sidebar. This will only happen after the initial 27 post, so there will be no interruption to the flow of 27. However, I will still be updating Fanfiction.net with complete episodes.

I continue to be forever grateful for all the kindness that you have given to me, and, as always, I can only humbly present this new Episode, with love and hope, that you will enjoy reading it.
