The Runner ➳ Narry (Book One)

Special Thanks

 
hey everyone! I've been sitting here watching the read and the vote and comment counts go up and I'm literally so amazed. I never would've thought this story would actually be liked lol.

I know it says completed and I'm adding another section so just ignore me if I'm annoying but I have a couple things I wanna get out there.

This is the first story I've ever finished and I'm definitely gonna do my best to finish the sequel, even though updates are slow.

It's so funny to look back at like, the first couple chapters of this book and realize how shitty my writing was but i mean, it gradually got better towards the end. I tried really hard to make this story different and interesting and original, and it was original. Lol a lot of you think there's references to the maze runner and shit in here but I didn't even read the maze runner until like, 2 months after I finished the book, so that's cool.

I wanna thank everyone who voted for this story again, even though I have like 10000 times. It means a lot to me, and I can't believe that on like the 10th chapter I was like "thanks for 3k reads" when now I have over 100k lol. Cool to see how things grow.

My style as a writer is unique, but I tend to use other things I've read as references as to how I format my writing and dialogue. Everything else, I use my own brain to come up with. The characters (besides the fact that they're from 1D) are all my own creation, personalities and all, with the exception to a few traits based on the real person. 

A lot of people have asked me where I came up with the idea for a story such as this one, and my honest answer is that I was just tired of reading the same thing over and over again. Fanfictions now are all about falling in love with a famous person someone met at a coffee shop, or being adopted by Louis Tomlinson or some shit. I wanted to create a story that was unique and intense, something fun and demanding of the imagination. 

I've always seen the One Direction boys as these people who are so full of light, and are so down to earth that I can play up on their characteristics. I love each and every one of them and even though they are separated now, I'll probably never stop obessing over them.

And lastly, I made this a Narry story because back in the day, I was so sure that Harry and Niall were a thing, but now I see that they are best friends but its too late to change it up now. Plus, Louis has such a strong personality that he makes such a good best friend in this story, whereas Niall can be played up as a submissive af boyfriend, but with a bit of harder edge to him. A literal potato.

Also, because who tf wants to picture another girl with Harry Styles?

Def not me. 

Anyways, thank you to everyone for liking this story. I'm a slow writer and I know I'm not very great at keeping promises but I'm still trying my hardest to give everyone something to think about at family dinners when you're supposed to be talking to your uncle about college.
