Wow, people are still reading this book! Hi again, everyone!

My feed recently got flooded with random x-reader fics, and it really reminded me of what got me into professional writing. This stuff did. I started this book as an angsty teenager who just wanted to share his ideas and practice some English. Since then, I've moved countries, adulthood has hit me like a truck, and I fought severe depression and other illnesses for what felt like eternity. And I won. I'm a few months away from finishing my screenwriting degree. It's been one hell of a journey, and I can't believe it all started with MM one-shots. What an honor!

I had to do a lot of self-reflecting for a career management class, and it made me realize something. I've been coming up with fictional stories since before I even learned to spell my name. And in my mind, I never stopped writing, even when I was rotting in bed for months, just thinking and thinking, without putting my ideas on paper.
If my life ended three years ago, or if it randomly ends tomorrow, one detail will remain consistent: I dedicated my existence to doing what I love, and I didn't stop creating till the day I passed away.

Maybe one day you'll find my original story in a bookstore, or go see it on a big screen. Ah, and since it was a Mystic Messenger fic-- maybe one day you'll be playing my own dating sim, if you're still into this kind of games.
I probably (definitely) won't be known as "cupofcum" at that point. But that's what adds a touch of mystery, you know? Maybe we'll meet again, and you won't even know it was me.

It was a pleasure to write for you, my guys, girls, and theys.

And with that, after 6 long years, this book is officially over.

Thank you for everything!

P.s. Not trying to kick a dead body here, but I recently found a stash of fics/fic ideas from 2019-2022. Will be re-reading them and swimming in nostalgia. Might post them for fun (in a separate book) once I'm done with uni. Some of them were good good, as far as I remember, and I'd probably re-work them into original stories if they weren't so setting-specific.

Do what makes your soul glow.

Cheers!
