I honestly can't believe I've been writing this story for over a year now. Even my other two fics combined didn't take this long. However, I am extremely proud of this story. I know I haven't been very consistent on updates, and the updates I do post could be a little bit longer, and I know the story feels like its dropped off (There's a reason for that. The entire story can't be in climax. It will pick back up again) and I know many of you have probably simply stopped reading because of how infrequently I update. 2016 has been a hell of a year for me. I graduated high school and started college. I've been through many failed relationships, one of which really fucked me up. I've moved away from the place I called home for 18 years of my life and everything is changing. I've burned bridges with people that I valued, and still value, but built a few bridges as well. My mental health has been on a roller coaster ride all year, but is currently at its lowest point all year, and in the past several years. 2016 has not been kind to me for the most part, and that reflects in my involvement on Wattpad. I would go weeks without opening the app, or logging on my computer. I apologize for the lack of material from me this year and you all deserve better. Its a shame that a story this good lost so many readers because I can't update once a week. I believe this story deserve thousands of more reads, but I don't give it the attention that a story with over 10k reads deserve. This all being said, this will most likely be my last fic. I will finish this one out to my fullest ability for those of you that have stuck around, and because I really do love this story so much. It tells a story that not only means a lot to me, but a lot of other people as well because I feel it is one of the most true to life stories I have written. I could change my mind when this is over, maybe I could write another one, but at this moment in time, I don't see myself writing another one, only to let all my readers down again. I loved every moment of my Wattpad career. Reading all your comments, and watching my stories gain thousands of reads has been amazing. I watched as A War Fought On Two Fronts went from being a history project that a friend said I should post on Wattpad, to being the 31st search result when you look up Peterick under the Wattpad search bar. Even The Beginning of the End, my least favorite story, has become somewhat of a cult classic among the readers I feel. Not many people read it, but those who did loved it. And this story is my favorite, which is why I will see it through to the end. These past two years on Wattpad have been good to me. I want to thank all those who commented on my stories, narrating how you feel, the jokes, and even the random shit. I want to thank you for the votes that show your support. And I want to thank all the ghost readers who don't comment or vote, because you are the base of Wattpad. The driving force. Without you, my stories would not have as meany reads as they do. I believe I've gone on long enough. Thank you for the experience. I love you all.
