Ten years ago, a new phase of Undocumented Features began. A part of the not-yet-solidified "Future Imperfect" era, it was intended to chronicle the trials and triumphs of an unlikely heroine – up until the point where her co-star hit the scene and the planning stages like an atom bomb, and threw the whole thing out of whack. But, she persevered, content and sure in her own abilities, and as the light of her friend's star grew ever brighter, it only increased the brightness in her own life, propelling her to heights she couldn't have imagined that one late august day (or in another sense, one early june evening) when the Rose Prince entered her life.

(Of course, the Prince in question hadn't imagined that such things would happen as a consequence of her presence – but such an occurrence was something that happened with frightful regularity in her life, so she really should have been expecting it.)

Ever since then, there's been laughter, there’s been tears; soaring heights, impossible lows; family lost and love found; worlds revolutionized dramatically and quietly; accompanied by a rocking soundtrack capable of making wild hearts soar and grown men weep. The kind of journey where the act of getting there is worth more than the actual arrival at the destination – though the arrival at the end is nothing to sneeze at, either! And thought it all, it's been an honor to watch, and participate, in that journey.

Happy 10th Anniversary, Kaitlyn Yuriko Hutchins. Take the day off, have a cake and some nice wine with Juri. Congratulations, you’ve earned it. ^_^

Here’s looking forward to the next decade of SoS!
