When I first wrote King For A Day, I had four-ish faceclaims and a dream. I remember the day I told Eddie that I so desperately needed more Jace fics so I took things into my own hands.
Little did I know, Kaitlyn Dever as Rosaline would change the trajectory of my Wattpad writing shenanigans.
Eudora's a character I hold dear to me, from wanting her story to be a silly short one which would've ended with her death turned into something way more. Every time I thought to end the book I told myself I wouldn't give it the satisfaction I wanted for it— I mean I started writing this at the age of seventeen, but as soon as I started I didn't realize it would take me two years to finish it. And for the past two years, every time I grew and changed as a person, that part of me that changes also changes with Eudora. I couldn't leave her without learning the way I did– through all the nitty gritty parts of life, love, and chaos, I wanted that if her story ended, I could read it again in a few months and say that she's truly grown as a character. This stubborn, impulsive, and poorly written Stark Daughter became someone intertwined and woven deep within my veins that she's one of the biggest extensions in my life.
Her getting the love she's been getting because of all of you would be something I would hold dear for who knows how long.
King For A Day picked me up whenever I felt lost or hopeless outside of writing, it's been a big part of my coping mechanism for whatever was going on in my life at the time. Especially 2023 which was my roughest year, I thought taking a break from writing this fic would help but honestly? Writing it, flushing out Eudora even more, making the story even more than I anticipated helped me bring a peace of mind during my roughest moments– and trust me, the dark ages were really really bad. So my gratitude for every reader this fic has is an understatement– King For A Day became this motivation to keep going. I often found myself going, "well if I'm not going to pull through with the day how am I supposed to finish KFAD now?" and suddenly I'm back on my playlist, typing 1k-3k words at night like it's nothing.
It's got me motivated through essays and schoolwork, I never thought the pressure to put out chapters would actually help me with homework by a LOT– it's actually crazy work. Every crashout, every moment of self doubt and loathing, every burnout, this book has seen it all. And through all those moments, some parts of my life did end up bleeding into the chapters... which is fun lalalaa!
To answer the questions and upset-ness people have over the fic not having any smut in it– I think I have to do a lot of explaining. King For A Day was written when I was a seventeen year old– who obviously grew tired of smut filled books like cough Icebreaker... and I was a seventeen year old who was obsessed with movies like Ten Things I Hate About You and books like Pride and Prejudice (where my unrealistic standards first started). I told myself if I was older I would probably write some implied smut, but then when I picked this fic back up it just made sense for Jace and Eudora to just fall in love the way Darcy and Lizzie would, the way Cameron would swoon for Bianca, the way Landon and Jamie didn't need any of that physical loving to fall for each other in A Walk To Remember.
Thus King For A Day was just written with tension, stolen moments, fastest slow burn, and an "I love you" thirty three chapters in. Call me a sap, a dramatic writer, but I genuinely wanted to keep Jace and Eudora in this whole they can fall in love just with words alone vibe. Which I hope a lot of you understand– younger me two years ago really just wanted yearning romance back!
This book brought me more than just followers and views, it molded and shaped me to the person I am today. It has brought me all my amazing and lovely mutuals who I wouldn't have met if I just stopped writing the book ten chapters in.
Obviously I have so much more planned for them, so the second book is already out! I've been planning this for who knows how long, so please run don't walk to go read it! Again, I love you all and I thank you all so much for this!
BOOK TWO IS OUT NOW GUYS!
