Uhm heyyyeeydh-
What-
I'm just speechless-
Y'all if you read this, I'm extra if you don't wanna read the paragraph I'm gonna write, you can skip to the end to see see what the surprise is otay :)
So I started to write this book after I watched both seasons of Stranger things at the end of last year, and to see how far its come is just the best thing ever. I didn't expect anything like this to come from my book. Don't call me baby literally started off as a draft with a story line that I didn't like and that I felt was rushed, so I scrapped it and came up with this one. And I seriously could not have expected this much to come from this book. I still can't wrap my head around the fact it has 1 million reads!!!
I've honestly had an amazing experience with this fan fiction, this is my only successful story that has come out of my wattpad account that I've had since 2015 & basically my whole journey with wattpad which I've been on since I was ten. Like seeing the numbers of readers go up would just make my day!! First it started off at 1k which I was more than happy about, and then slowly started going up to 20k+ THEN FRICKEN 100K+!!
I'm beyond grateful for the people who've shown me love and support. Who've commented and voted for all of my chapters, and who've personally messaged me to spread your love for my book & my writing, like I just appreciate you all so fücking much!! You're all amazing and I definitely wouldn't be at 1 million reads right now without you!! I just want y'all to know that I luv you all, and I wanna hug each and every single one of you for supporting me from the very start♡
Y'all probably thinking, damn slow down sis, you're not winning an Oscar, it's just a damn book :) Lol this is so important to me so imma rant some more.
I haven't always had an amazing experiance with my book though, earlier this year when Don't call me baby was still early in its chapters, some people had a problem with the main character Billy Hargrove, they didn't like the fact that I was writing a story about him, and at the time I did find it hard writing about him. But that only lasted a few days because I valued my opinion and y'all couldn't stop me from writing about my mans, so yeah I don't remember ya @ anyway so hope you're having a great life 🤗
It just made me feel stronger about his character, and I knew that his character in Stranger things is very problematic and controversial but I honestly felt like I had the right to be able to like any fictional characters I want, and that I can write a story about them if I wanted to. So yeah, that was a bump in the road, but it just showed me that not everyone is going to like your stories, and everyone has their own opinions, which is completely fine.
The rest of the road for the book has been absolutely amazing, I would always write and I'd always feel motivated to. And I'm not kidding, if I did feel down I would continue to write my chapters and I'd feel better. Just the thought of this book made me happy. I must admit though, I didn't like how I portrayed Billy at the start of the book, and I wanted to give him a character change toward the end, Emilia included. Sometimes I'd reread it like 'Emilia do something damn' or 'Billy is such an asshole to her' then I remember I wrote them out that way, and I do apologize if their relationship seemed toxic. I worked hard to change it toward the end so they were equal.
I appreciate you all for reading all of my non edited chapters *which is most of them lmao* and baring through my cringey & cheesy ones. Also sorry if I totally butchered Jordan's accent/ slang, I'm not American so I'm not too familiar with New York accents😂 But yeah thank you for reading this book anyway.
And since I've managed to get 1 million reads, I'm going to do an extra chapter where it shows Emilia and Billy in the future, with their KIDS! Lol if you wanna read that then I'll have it up very soon otayyy🤙🏽
Don't call me baby makes me happy beyond words, I can't express in words how grateful I am for the response I've gotten for this book. I love Billy's character so much, and I can't wait to write more stories about him & all the other characters on Stranger things. 😭❣
Thank you for 1 million & for making me feel so happy!!
Love you all- D ♡
