Four Years (Finished)

Author's Note: Sequel Update

Well hello everyone! So it's been quite awhile now hasn't it? Sorry it's been so long I've been extremely busy. But I decided I'd take a moment from my busy life to answer some of the questions that have been filling up my inbox

1. Are you still going to write a sequel?

Yes. I am still going to write a sequel. I've actually started writing a rough draft of a few ideas I have.

2. When are you going to post the sequel?

I've gotten a lot of questions regarding the posting of the sequel and the truth is I'm not really sure when I want to release it. I'm still not sure where I want to take the sequel and once I post the first chapter that's the storyline I have to stick with. I would like to post it maybe late September, early October? I think that'd be reasonable and then maybe I'd have time to write then? Also I think it'd be nice if I could get Four Years to 2000 reads. Do you think you guys could make that happen? I just really want to make this story more popular. And if you guys get it to 2000 reads I will post the first chapter of the sequel. How does that sound?

3. Is Hannah still going to be in the story?

Yes. Hannah will still be in the story. And I am actually going to start writing probably after the wedding. So Hannah and Hailey are friends in this book. I'm not going to write a sequel on the alternate ending because everyone said they liked the first ending better so that's the ending I'm going to write about.

4. Are Harry and Hailey going to have kids? If so how many?

Um...this is classified information. Sorry.

5. Are you going to keep Danielle in the story? Or make her leave because Liam is with Sophia now?

I'm keeping Danielle. Its not that I have anything against Sophia or her dating Liam, if he's happy I'm happy. But I've always been a huge Payzer shipper. Plus this story is set in the future anyways...and Danielle was already in the whole first story. Plus Hailey explains how close she grew to Danielle. So even if Danielle and Liam aren't together Danielle will still be in the story.

Okay so that was basically the most important questions I wanted to answer but there is also a few things I'd like to address.

Story Updates: For this sequel in particular I probably won't be able to update as often as I would like. I'm just really busy with school and everything, because I am now a Junior in high school and I've got a lot of responsibilities, so the updates probably wouldn't be as often as you guys would want them to be. And I'm sorry about that but...Junior Year matters a lot in high school and I can't let my grades fall because I'm trying to keep up with this story. I need to set my priorities and this story comes after school.

Story Update requirements: Okay I know you guys are probably going to hate me for doing this and I used to hate when authors would do this. But there are now going to be requirements in order for me to update. Like at the end of the chapter I'll put "20 votes and I'll update" or something like that. I really used to hate when authors would do that but...I started reading this fanfiction a few months back and the author explained why she did it. And she said that "I work to hard and spend hours writing these fanfics so the least you can do is give me 20 votes." So I agree with her. I take time out of my dad to write these chapters for you guys and all you expect from me is to push out the next chapter. No matter how much I love writing I would like just a little bit of appreciation from you guys. So please try and keep up the requirements, they won't be huge but I'm still going to have them.

Comments: I appreciate all of your comments I really do. And I don't mind the comments that politely ask me to update. But please don't just ask me to update. Try and at least tell me what you liked about the chapter or leave me a prediction or something. I'd really like to try and interact with you guys, and I always reply to comments and messages so don't be afraid to ask questions. And when I say "ask questions" I mean pertaining to the story not when I'm going to update or not. And also please don't freak out if I don't update. As I explained above I may be busy and I don't want 20 comments screaming at me to update, you guys need to be patient.

QOTD: So I think I'm going to start doing QOTD's (question of the day) at the end of every update. I think it'll be a good way to get you guys to talk to me and tell me what your feeling or how you feel about the story. It could be something simple like "What's your favorite color?" or something more complex like "If you could be any celebrity, who would you be and why?". But I think it'll add to our relationship.

Author's Note Book: Last thing...so I think I may make a book just for author's notes. Because I kind of hate when I'm reading a fanfic and it says it has been updated and then I go to read it and it's just an author's note. I also don't like the idea of author's notes contaminating a story. So I'm going to make a book just dedicated to author's notes and other messages. I'm probably going to go make that now. So please go to my profile and add that book to your library. Because from now on I will be posting all authors notes, pertaining to the sequel and my other story Red in that book.

And I think that's about it. Thanks for all your support guys. If you have any more questions feel free to leave them below or message me. Hope to talk to you all soon. Bye. :)
