From a reviewer....
One question (I think I'm going for one random question per review at this rate), why is it called Absolucion? Because I know that AbsoluTion is the forgiveness in the sacrament of reconciliation, and absolución is the same, but in spanish, but is this the reason it's called that?
I knew I wanted the title to be Absolution, but when I checked FanFic there were already 20 other stories with that title. I put a call out to some old fan-friends of mine about what they suggest I do, and one of them found this dictionary definition...

I've always LOVED researching the history of words, so I decided to use the original spelling of the word instead of the contemporary spelling. :) It made sense to me as it expressed a personal fascination of mine, as well as linking the story to the past as Chapter 2 does.
And... on a purely selfish note... it makes my story easier to search for by spelling it differently. heh heh
