Hey, I only say it because it's true.

Thank you so much for your time, your labor, and your enthusiasm. On top of being useful in making sure the show, you know, sounded good & made sense, it was so /joyful/ to see someone tangibly enjoying what we were making.

You're a wonderful human, and so, so appreciated.

I cannnot say enough good things about the cast and crew.

This time, I put those good things in audio format, rather than writing. So I'll leave it with my profound gratitude, and also excitement about moving on to season 2.

And, of course, Aidan Moss himself was played by @horrorlocke.bsky.social.

The show was sound designed by my amazing husband, @handle.invalid (Erik Seguinte, whose BlueSky handle seems to currently be broken)

It was written and partially edited by @ash-alder.bsky.social (uh... me.)

But since I can't go back and re-do that for THIS season, here's the credits for At the Bottom of the Garden, Season 1.

(In no particular order)

It was /exceedingly difficult/ not to yell about all of them, all the time.

I managed it, mostly, but I've learned that no matter how deeply I want to get into unreality, alternate realities, and the blurred lines between the real wold and fiction, I need to be able to praise my actors by name.

In starting work on this project, I knew I wanted to frame it as a real thing that was really, actually happening. But that meant that I would be asking actors to delay their well-deserved credit till the end of the season.

I think that may have ended up being harder on me than them.

(Please forgive the dramatics. Everyone's fine, and there is absolutely nothing to worry about.)
