Until We Find Each Other Again

Goodbye and Thank You! :)

AAAAAA I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE REACHED THIS POINTTTTT

Enjoy some rambling haha.

Aaaaaa thank you all so much for reading this story!!! Genuinely this means a lot to me. For all of you who have known me for some time, the last story I wrote I finished August 2022. And now it's June 2024. So it's been nearly two whole years since I last wrote fanfiction. Why? For one, I didn't think people were interested in my stories anymore, so I stopped. I was also experiencing burn out, as I was just churning out one story after another. I also didn't have many ideas that were at least half fledged, and I was ready to focus on the school year instead of fanfiction. And so I didn't write for a long time.

And it was empty, you know?

I mean, it's not like I didn't write at all--I did get back into writing original fiction--but it's not the same as publishing stories here and getting the shoot of adrenaline writing the chapters and publishing them and receiving the notifications, you know?

I think some people were meant to be fanfic writers.

I think I'm one of them.

As were Dante Alighieri and Jane Austen and one of the Brontë sisters I think.

Huh. I thought I was gonna midnight ramble, but instead I'm going deep. Well, the two things I'm best at doing at night are rambling and pouring my heart out. I like that I chose the wholesome route.

...Until my ADHD has something to say haha. Yes, it's midnight, and I highly doubt this will get up to 1000 words. Not that it needs to anyway. Somewhere between 300 and 500 should suffice I think.

Why am I obsessed with getting to 1000 words? I once had a writer friend who said that their goal was to have every chapter be at least 1000 words, and for some reason that has stuck with me and I made it a goal of my own. Usually I'm very good at making it haha.

So it's a little after midnight. We'll see when I finally publish this. The latest I've stayed up to finish publishing a story was 4:00 am, so midnight is nothing, neither is 1:00 am. (On the proofread, this will be published shortly after 1:00 am hits, so yeah, still nothing).

So why did I write this story? I forget when exactly, around the time I was formulating my story Throughout It All, this idea came to me as a little seed. I was more excited for Throughout It All and had more ideas for it, so I went with that first. But then my fanfic flame burned out, and so this story was still just a little seed, collecting dust.

Until I finally had the time to revisit it, and it thrived.

In less than two months, I've published this story.

This is the 24th part of the story. Considering this story is based in 2024, that's actually really satisfying.

I can feel the veins in my hands as I'm typing.

I forget exactly how I came up with this story idea. I guess I just wanted to put my favorite guys in situations, and see how they react.

I was hoping to make this be written in prose/poetry, have it be more poetic as I weave in more storylines, but honestly? That's not really my writing style as it exists write now. Maybe in the future. But honestly I like how it is right now.

So, will I write more fanfiction? Most likely. It will probably come in the form of a sequel to one of my other books, which I'm excited to revisit.

I'm writing the same characters over and over again, but each story I write of them is different, you know? They're all their own little universes. And I love them all for their little differences. Sure, they all stem off of the same person and same media, but every iteration I write is just a little bit different. And I really like that.

Oh my gosh what if I did a multiverse/into the newsiesverse-

I think the bigger question though is when I'll write more fanfiction. I'm going to be pretty busy this summer since I'll actually have a job (I'll be a camp counselor, I'm so excited). And then I'll be traveling on my gap year September-November.

But November-February? When I'm home again?

Yeah, you can probably expect something from me.

I'm making the promise to y'all now: this is not going to be the last fanfic I write--and definitely not the last newsies fanfic. I don't know when I'll write again. I just know that I won't disappear for a year and a half again, okay?

Love you all <3

Alright, as I have officially run out of words to say, I bid you all goodbye ;)

OH RIGHT ONE LAST THING--SOMETHING I USUALLY DO FOR MY STORIES: MY FAVORITE CHAPTERS TO WRITE. HERE ARE MY FAVORITES IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: We May Have Entered a Better World; Catching Up; Trying to Find More; Singing For Our Lives; The Era of Grunge; To Find A Long Lost Loved One; A Brotherly Bond; Beach Episode; Reuniting Once and For All; What Did You Learn?; What Will We Decide?; New Year's Eve.

(This isn't to say I didn't love all my chapters dearly, it's just these I have an extra bond to)

So I did reach 1000 words after all. This is really satisfying to me.

Love you all <333

Happy Pride Month!!!! <333333

(Can't believe I haven't said Happy Pride Month yet, smh, who am I and what have I done to Wyvern haha)

*contemplates fixing the "I haven't said happy pride month yet" problem*
