June 7, 2021 UPDATE:

Well, hello! If you've made it this far through this old story, I applaud you! It was written between 2013-2016 and I'm not sure bits of it have aged well. I am grateful that you have made it thus far. Why post it if its old and been rewritten? Mostly for the OG readers that have been with me since the beginning! I love how much you loved this story and wanted to show my appreciation for you all by reposting it. :)

BUT HEY, if you're interested in reading a new and revised version, check out my story A Merciful Poison! It's the latest and greatest version of this wild tale and I am looking for constructive feedback to help elevate it that much further. Warning, there are several key changes to characters, names, and locations!

Much love,
Britt

July 14, 2019 UPDATE:

Hello All!

Your enthusiasm and love for this story has been so overwhelming. I'm so grateful for each and every one of you that's given it a chance. I wanted to pop up a quick update about the sequel. I've been receiving so many messages asking about book two, and I feel so terrible that I don't have a great answer for you. For those that want to know, I've been rewriting OFAC. I started this story back in 2012 (or 13, not certain), and my style/skill/overall knowledge of writing has changed significantly since then.

With that, I've decided to rewrite and edit and do all the things to the story to make it the best it could possibly be. Which means, I've completely gutted it. The version I'm working on, while it has the same skeleton as THIS version, is so so different. I know OFAC as it stands on WP is unresolved, but I can't bring myself to post a sequel when the story I'm working on now has evolved so much. As for posting the new version, I'm not sure if I will in the foreseeable future, as I'm aiming to achieve scary, exciting things with it.

As always, I'll keep you all in the loop, but for now, I'm afraid to say I won't be posting a sequel to this version of OFAC.

Britt XOXO

Original Post:

Y'ALL.

I finished it. I actually freaking finished this book. I'm not crying, you're crying!

Okay, yes. I AM crying. I'm crying those super happy, I-can't-friggin-believe it tears. Honestly, I never thought I would get here. I'm too picky. Too full of self-doubt. Too...there's a lot of things I have too much of, so this list would go on much longer than anyone would ever ever need. But, I persevered. With the help of great friends, and some seriously dedicated, patient readers like you (you guys deserve ALL the awards), I was actually able to click that little box that asks, 'is this story completed?' HELL YES IT IS.

First of all, I just have to say THANK YOU for reading and engaging with this story. When I first started writing OFAC, I had zero direction other than spewing out whatever was flowing through my brain. It has been because of your continual excitement for the each update that kept (and still keeps) me inspired. I can't tell you guys how much it means to me, that throughout my long hiatuses and mini meltdowns, you stuck with me and Beck and Shell and this weird universe I'm creating.

Seriously, I can't thank you all enough for staying with me through the years. It means everything to me.

For those wondering, my next plan of action (other than finishing Thread) is to polish this bad boy up. I haven't decided what path I want to explore with this story (whether I want to self-pub or try for something scarier), but just know, I'll be keeping you guys in the loop whatever that path may be. <3

Finally, I have to give a couple shoutouts to some peeps for their continued support, no matter how much time has passed. Throughout this whole story, you guys helped keep me motivated with your support and honesty and sheer talent that I strive for.

Thank you never ever feels like a strong enough statement to express my gratitude, so just know that I mean it in the highest form.


Love always,

Britt Imogen
