Well, I think we all saw this coming—the end.

First off, I want to thank all of you for the incredible support and love Daddy Issues has received. Honestly, I didn't expect it to do as well as it did. This story has been such a ride, and I'm so grateful for every like, comment, and share.

If you wish to know more about the planning, the story, you can read. If not, you can scroll down ~ but I just wanted to share a little bit more about my process.

To give you a little insight, this story took over a year and a half of planning before I finally found the courage to post it & continue. I had a team, believe it or not, of med students, law students, business students help me with the jargons and logistics. I can't believe I learned so much~! 

Trust me, the original drafts were all over the place. The story was heading in a completely different direction at first, and looking back, I'm so glad I took the time to refine it.

As for why it took me a while to post or update when I first started, well because I'm a pretty shy and anxious person. I had posted a story before, and while it did well, the moment it started receiving feedback and attention from readers, I became overwhelmed and ended up stepping away from it.

This time I really wanted to try something different. I knew I needed to work on this one to get more comfortable with others reading my work. I have tons of drafts both here and on my computer just waiting to be finished! All I need is some courage to publish (;-;)

The amount of research that went into creating this story was insane. I really believe in: "write what I want to read," and I wouldn't want to read a story that's half-baked or poorly researched. So, for me, every draft went through a meticulous process.

First, I wrote down ideas, then I revisited them to add coherence, and finally, I layered in the details. Lots and lots of details.

I know you all didn't ask, but I've always loved detailed writing, and my biggest inspirations is Franz Kafka.

I believe it was in a class, Postmodern Literature, that I encountered Kafka and since then, I've been a fan of his work.

His Letters to Milena and Metamorphosis (my favorite novella) were crucial in helping me define my own style. Kafka's approach to detail and the way he imbues even the smallest moments with significance really resonated with me. His poetic language is also something that I love.

I also love details—the more, the better. It's about painting a complete picture, and I wanted to bring that depth to my own writing. If that isn't your cup of tea, I fully respect that, but I don't think I can read stories that aren't rich in description. & Maybe I used too much? Oh well? I'm Sorry? (Not really, I don't care. lol) 

"Lucas, work on more showing than telling" as my British Lit professor would say... (　・'ω・')

But anyways, enough about the style.

This story was completely different at the start. Even Mason had a different role initially.

FOR INSTANCE, there was going to be no spy-cops-mafia fights. It was going to be your plain, one-night-stand pregnancy with Mason and Bianca wanting to borrow, yes borrow, Rowan's baby to pass as their own for inheritance. And that Victoria would notice that the baby looks more like her older brother (the baby's father).

Rowan had no siblings in that version, and he was a runt and abandoned by his parents. It focused heavily on packs.

It was your typical "omegaverse" with pack rules and stuff, but I decided against it. It's set in a modern society instead. \^-^/
