A big thank you to everyone that has made it this far in, especially those small few of you that were reading during the uploading period who left such heart-warming feedback.
The story was a joy to write. It reignited an old love for storytelling and I will miss sitting down to write this every night. I started this story after reading another fic that just hit me in a way that I hadn't been hit in a long time. Once they took a break from uploading, I just had to fill the time with my own little bit of work. It was only ever intended to be a silly story that never saw the light of day, but it just fell out of me and I couldn't seem to stop.
As for what is next, I intend to spend a long time rewriting this story to remove the red dead elements of it and turn it into an original piece of work. However, be assured that this upload isn't going anywhere.
That being said! Nora is near and dear to my heart at this point, and I don't feel done with her yet. SO, I am opening this comment section up for any requests that you may have after finishing the story, there is a lot I had to leave out and certain things that looking back I wish I dedicated more time to exploring.
For example, I would love to write little excerpts of interactions that Nora may have had with Mary, who I think deserves to know that in this little world Arthur didn't die on that mountain. Or Hamish (a most beloved character that I had to leave out.) Or finding out what happened to people after they departed the story! Or more interactions with other members of the gang that I spent far too little time on, like Bill, Javier or Sean. Or even just exploring more of Nora's past!
If this is something that would be of interest, or if you have anything you would like to see written, please let me know and I will set up another story to put them all in. There are of course some things that I won't write, however I'll let you know upon request. I'm not expecting anyone to actually do this, by the way. But I might write some just for the sake of it!
Once again, thank you for loving Nora and reading this story. Thank you for all your feedback and support, for all your wonderful takes and excitement. Thank you for giving me something to smile about every evening. I hope it was as fun to read as it was to write!
- Billie.
