Station 429

parting words

a u t h o r ' s  n o t e (#2)

I'd like to start this author's note off by saying thank you. This story was hard for me to write at times, and seeing that there are people out there who support this story got me through the days when I wanted nothing to do with this story.

This story quickly took a special place in my heart. As I mentioned in the very beginning, I've had my experiences with some of the issues that the characters went through, and I didn't know what do to with all of the left over emotions. That's how Station 429 was created. It was an outlet, basically, and being able to piece together a world based on the things that were haunting me was such a blessing.

There's still so much left to do when it comes to Station 429, and I can't wait to get started on all that I have planned. Right now, this story is being edited by one of my very good friends, so when I get her notes back I'll be able to get started on the second draft. I don't have all of the timing worked out yet, but I can definitely tell you that it'll be a while before anything related to Station 429 goes up on my profile. As much as I love it, I need to take some time away from the story to clear my head. When I come back to it, I'll hopefully be able to develop and write it even better than before.

In the mean time, I'll be working on some other projects that I've been dying to get my hands on. Like I said, these probably won't be up for a while, but I'm working really hard on them so I can get them up as soon as possible. I think (and hope) you guys will really like what I have in store.

Again, thank you to anyone who has shown this story support. I can't thank you all enough because, let's face it, it probably wasn't always easy to get through this story thanks to cringe-worthy pieces of dialogue, pacing issues, and rough character development. Despite these things, you guys made it to this point, and I can hardly even believe that. 

Thank you for getting to know my characters and believing in them (especially Foster and Colleen, since they weren't always easy to believe in at times aha). I hope you left Station 429 with brand new pictures that were beyond what you could have ever imagined.

Thanks a bunch you guys. You know that I don't really like self-promotion too much, so this is weird for me to be doing lol.
