Mate (Owen Grady x I. Rex!Reader)

Update in 2022 😌

Wow. Hi everyone! 

Okay, let me preface this, I got an email recently: notification of a comment on this old fic, and because it made me laugh and I wanted to reply to it, I opened Wattpad for the first time in... 3-4 years? 

And let me say... I both honoured and absolutely MORTIFIED to find that my fic was #5 on Jurassic World? I am—

oh god. I am both truly amazed and embarrassed that this is what my legacy is, lmao. I mean, I'm still writing fanfiction to this day, just over on AO3 rather than here. The fangirl in me is still very much alive and very strong 💪 

I'm still amazed that people still read this. It's been so long since I was a twee little girl, writing out her dinosaur daydreams and crushing on Crisp Rat. Now the third movie is coming out this summer and hoo. 

Looking back on this, I'd like to thank everyone who pushed me to write and actually, genuinely supported my story. You're all sweethearts, all of you are the blueprints to my (now very intensive and passionate) hobby of writing. 

Without writing all of this (as cringy and cliched as it was), my writing now would have never developed to the level I am at today. So, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

I truly don't know if I will ever come back to this story. I might, just for old times' sake, especially with the new movie coming up, but we'll never know! 

Thank you all, you lovely, lovely readers. I give you all a little kiss on your foreheads. Have a good day/night wherever you are!

(And also, as a piece of advice to aspiring writers, don't ever doubt yourself in your progress. It takes years and countless hours of practice to get good as those writers you look up to! Not to mention, the first draft is never ever as good as the final version you see posted/printed on the page. Editing is the magic here! So, go wild on your first draft, be as awful and cliche as you want to be, and simply enjoy the process of creating a story you know you will love! Good luck!)
