kneel | Tom Riddle

author's note

Well hello!! 

I don't even know what to say, but it didn't feel right to finish this book without saying a few words. 

I have been writing fanfics for years and I was never proud of any of my books, which explains why I keep deleting them. But with this book everything was so different. Of course there are a lot of things I'm not happy about in this book, but in general I'm quite proud of it.

It took me eleven months to write this book and believe me when I say this has been a horrible year to me. 2020 ruined a lot of people's life and Covid 19 was quite violent in my country, affecting many people who are close to me. So I'm being honest when I say this has been a very unstable year to me and to the people who surround me. Thankfully, I think this is almost over, but we never know what to expect with a global pandemic. 

Despite everything, this book helped me to keep sane and stable. I knew that every week I had to update Kneel once or twice and that was definitely something to look forward to. Like the world could be falling apart, but I was still going to write one more chapter. It may sound mad, but I'm so thankful for that obligation.

And the best part was the support I obtained from all of you. I try to read most of your comments and they make me so happy, they really do!! You've so unbelievably supportive towards Kneel and sometimes I don't even know why but I'm sooo thankful!! You sent me so many kind messages, you made amazing playlists, and you also made the most lovely art for my book! I still can't even believe Kneel has more than 1M reads. Like how did it happen? It's all thanks to you and I will forever appreciate your kind words!

Also, I want to say that I already started writing a sequel about Abraxas' daughter, Asteria. It's going to be a Sirius Black fanfic and I hope I will meet you all again there!

Once again, thank you :)

Love, 

Juliana
