author's note

[about me, new story, acknowledgments]

Hello! I'm your author, a young, nerdy, scatterbrained escapist! Ironically, I think it's these traits that made me into the author I am today. I'm obsessed with music, literature, dance, food occasionally clothes, and... MOVIES.

- Pisces, half jamaican, learns like 7 different languages at once, and had an unhealthy obsession with the sims

The first three chapters of my new story, INK is out. I would love for you all to check out the modern-day, fantasy romance.

And thank you so much for all the reads, votes, comments, shares, etc! It's been truly amazing! Also, thank you to everyone who has volunteered to translate my story! It's currently being translated into French and Spanish! That's such a time consuming job and the fact that you're willing to do this for a total stranger is just amazing <33

And ANOTHER thank you to @SoniyaRiddle for making these covers!

And none of this was planned. Each chapter was just me going "I bet it'd be cool if that happened" 😂 The only part I was sure about was the ending, which I'd figured out around chapter 006

But I littered a lot of literary elements/foreshadowing/and symbolism throughout the book to really try and give it a deeper meaning. Feel free to share anything that stood out to you, made you feel something, liked, etc 😂

Of course, I'm not romanticizing abusive relationships but our mc is a victim of one. In the end, she falls into the clutches of it.

You can tell how much damage the whole relationship had inflicted on her when she started throwing her morals behind and everything she did was to please one. And if I may point out... notice the change of chapters 22/23 to chapter 32... Everything she does is to please 001, she stops thinking about what she really wants.

And notice how, throughout the story, 001 never actually apologizes for anything he's ever done to her. He does it ONCE throughout the whole story, when he's talking about her mother, but only out of "sympathy" not because he's sorry. When he can't read y/n's emotions, 001 gets scared because he doesn't know how to "navigate" her. (Aka manipulate) Notice how y/n is ALWAYS defending 001.

But in real life, Jamie Campbell Bower is fine af so anyways.

Thank you again. Let me tell you, this story was not always as big as it was:

( me and my friend a month and a half ago 😂)

My next story is different, the entire plot has already been planned out and I love it so much. I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you enjoyed ZERO! Hey, and while we're at it, let's enter this into the Wattys!

Oh wait!! This is a reminder to those of you who wrote those "future me?" or "how was it?" comments at the beginning of the story. Go respond to past you!
