A message from the author:
I recently got back on Wattpad and having to read comments and DMs from past and current readers of my trilogy By Chance has inspired me to finally re-upload the original copy instead of pushing through the revision project, which was way long overdue.
I first wrote the love story of Andria and Tony in 2014, fresh out of high school. If you have watched the Thai Film Yes or No, you would probably know the muses of this fanfiction, Aom Sushar and Tina Jittaleela. I was so hooked up with the film's plot and characters that I hopped on the Wattpad bandwagon to look for more TiAom-inspired materials. I read one fanfic to another and when I finally had the courage, I also wrote my own. Though it wasn't my best since I was a beginner, the inspiration and appreciation I received from readers had me finished the first book within three months and proceeded with the other books not long after. But it wasn't an easy process. As I got more into writing, I started to feel like I need to up my writing skills and so writing freely and fast has become a challenge.
In 2017, I tried recreating By Chance trilogy in English (and attempted to write more stories) but it always ends up in the draft because of my hectic academic schedule and my low writing confidence. Then, in 2020, when the pandemic forced us to stay at home, I finally had the time to revisit my work and attempted to revise everything. I MEAN EVERYTHING. Around that time, I already graduated from university and worked as a content writer for some local blog, and seeing my old work was giving me sore eyes and that's what urged me to rework on my old stories – to make some edits and make it less cringe for my liking. But as a consistent inconsistent writer as I am, I wasn't able to follow through and end up leaving my entire Wattpad account and readers hanging. And because of this I apologize, especially those who could have found solace on this book no matter how cringe it was during the difficult quarantine period. Yes, I kind of look down to it because it was poorly written but I have to give proper credits to it too. It was a good story and even ranked Top 8 in Fanfiction in early 2015 for Pete's sake. The trilogy was also the reason why I started writing in the first place.
So, after some thought, I decided to re-upload the unedited version of By Chance to remind myself where I started no matter how cringe or crappy might the quality be. I think it is best to have it as it is. The rest of the trilogy will also be reuploaded as soon as I found the original manuscript in the coming days.
It wasn't the best but I hope you'll enjoy the ride along the bumpy relationship of Andria and Tony.
