Description April Ryan fanart, inspired by her final scene in Dreamfall- The Longest Journey. Didn't turn out like a wanted... maybe I'll have another shot at it sometime, considering it's about a decade until the sequel is likely to turn up.
Some commenters wanted a background of this... who am I to deny the people's will- [link]

I occasionally work on this Dreamfall Chapters Au Fanfic here.Β avenger09.deviantart.com/galle…

Do you perhaps think there is potential in it?Β

April Ryan needs donations

www.gofundme.com/8fbxk8
For those of us who know April Ryan and Sarah, she is truly amazing as both. She is a real survivor. She is really a truly beautiful, strong and boldly courageous human being. If you can even offer 5 dollars you are showing your support in her incredibly difficult and inspiring journey. I admire her profoundly. Just read her story, it's so inspiring and heart breaking at the same time. I donated what I could.

"What's my opportunity here?' is a question I never cease asking myself. I am a woman who doesn't allow life's challenges to get in the way of my growth. In fact, I believe challenges are to be overcome in order to transform our lives and allow us all to find the joy that is our birthright. And I have been challenged in the last decade.

My belief was put to the test when I was diagnosed in 2002 with Multiple Sclerosis, then 18 months later with Stage 2 Parotid (Salivary) Gland Cancer. 'What's my opportunity here?' was the question that kept repeating itself. My back was subsequently operated on due to a completely extruded disc in 2010. In 2013 I slipped and fell on the ice and needed surgery in my hand due to a ruptured tendon. Also one of the main MS symptoms are many many migraines. At one point they were up to 25 a month. Thankfully they are now down to about 10. All of this ... has led to bills, some of which I am still paying off without rancor.

Now again my belief has been put to the test. On April 2nd I went back to the Hospital for back surgery again. This time needing a fusion of my spine. I spent 4 days in the hospital post surgery due to drainage tubes, IV's and pain management that could not be medically supervised at home. I am now home and bills are coming in, which doesn't allow for ease of healing due to stress. The stress of which has caused an MS relapse which has come in the form of severe vertigo. This doesn't make movement easy, which is crucial to my healing. One doesn't want to topple over after a back fusion, that's not such a good idea...

So what is my opportunity here? It's to acknowledge that I need help. Help with my bills. Once I am given the go ahead to go back to work it will be part time, and in conjunction with all my regular bills I won't be able to pay my previous doctors bills let alone my new ones. I also acknowledge how so very grateful I am for being allowed the time to get well and for having those around me who love me. Yet I need help. And if you are able to do so I would be so grateful to all of you for the rest of my healthy life. So.... Thank You, Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I am honored and humbled by your support.

With All My Love,
~Sarah "

Very well done :> I can't wait to play "Dreamfall Chapters" on November 2014. Unfortunately, April won't be playable there... But hey! Have you heard that there's a chance that Red Thread Games will make "The Longest Journey Home"? It's gonna show April's life after TLJ but befor DF ;D

I love it! Finished "Dreamfall - The longest journey" (or "DrΓΈmmefall - Den lengste reisen" as I've got the norwegian edition) an hour ago. This is a great picture of my favourite character from the game. The image is now my new wallpaper. Thank you, and well done!

On an only slightly related note, this is still one of my favorite deviations of all time.

Very nice! I like it
Poor April - I just hope her final scene in Dreamfall wasn't her final scene ever!
And I agree - bigger version would be better and I would like to see it
