Flatmates

(Author's Note)

Hey everybody! This is going to be a loooong rant

1) Big thank you

I'd like to thanks every single one of you for reading this book and to have make it till this end! It was an uncertain path for me. I've been writing for over 10 years now, but never really completed and published something. This was a first! And it's honestly thank to you all. I want to send a huge, massive, golden, thank you to the people who took a bit of their time to vote and comments. Reading you reactions was the highlight of my days, and it made me smile in some very dark hours. So THANK YOU SO MUCH.

2) A few more thing about this story

Flatmates was a real adventure for me, as I said. 150 pages, 80 000 words, 11 month of work. It's quite crazy when I think about it now. And I can't believe it's actually over. But as It's somewhat my first book, I know that it is far, faaaaaar, from perfect. I'm not 100% please with the level of dramatic tension all the story, and especially at the end. But I'll learn for next time. If you would like to honestly review my book and commentary and advice, I'll gladly take it! :D

Also I've been so lucky to actually go to London this year while writing Flatmates. My airBnB wasn't far from Belgravia so was able to visit it myself and it was so cool! Also I got to see 5SOS in concert in Brixton, where MYT live was recorded! It's so amazing!!

I'd like to come back on a few important things too. Flatmates is a love story, but mostly it's a story about broken people. And I wanted to have positive message around it. I know that it is not the best treatment of the topic ever. I know that a passed on everything rather fast, whether it is Ashton's addiction, his depression or Luke's scars from his past. But I wanted to show people that move on. Because it can get better, with help, with love, with patience too, with understanding and most of all compassion. If there is one thing to get out and remember about this story, I want it to be that. Be compassionate. "Treat people with Kindness".

3) What's coming next?

Even if this book is over now. There are a few bonus scenes or deleted scenes that didn't made it to the final cut. If you are interested in them I could published them in some random occasion. There's somewhat of an epilogue. The conversation between Luke and Gran in her office, from her point of view. Maybe some Malum side, or about secondary characters, like Anna or Sanjay, even though I'm really not sure about that.

Also Flatmates is going to go under edition. Nothing major at all. Just fixing the typos and mistakes. But no plot change. So don't be surprised if you see an update, but it's nothing really.

That being said, I have a lot of ideas what is going to happen next.

First I'll write Surrender Part 2 that is in the back of my mind since so long now. I also got a request on my tumblr (link in my bio) for a canon compliant retrospective of lashton story from Luke POV, which I'm getting more and more excited about! It was supposed to be one short or something short, but I might actually make something longer out of it.

If you follow me on tumblr, I also have a video under construction. It's the part 2 of Larry_lashton / truly_lashton video top 30 lashton moments. So it's basically 30 moments more. It took me forever to do that, it's not done yet, but I hope to get it out soon.

I have plenty of random idea for a new full lashton book, but I'll probably make an announcement / post about it later. Because, I'm sorry, but my graduation from architecture school is coming and up until July I don't think I'll start a new full story like this one.

Thank you so much for reading me!!

None of this would have been possible without you

Lots of Love,
Kassie <3
