Unrequited Love ~Lams~

Fun Facts

Wow. I actually can't believe this book is over. It's been a ride. Okay time for random fun facts:

1. I wrote this book within the span of about two months. I honestly didn't think I would finish it.

2. One thing I did a lot was skip around, and write interesting scenes before boring filler chapters. I found that when I was inspired the chapters were way better than when I wasn't.

3. Originally, this book was only supposed to be 20 chapters, and finished within a week. Then it was only supposed to be 30. Then eventually it ended up at almost 50. If you include the Epilogues, it is exactly 50.

4. The reason this book has 3 endings is because I couldn't decide between a sad ending or happy one. I asked my friends and it was a tie, so I decided to do three. I almost did four, but thankfully I stopped myself.

5. I find that the endings seem very rushed, because they were. When writing them I was a week into school and just wanted to get it over with. I might rewrite them in the future.

6. By the time I published the first chapter, I had all the chapters done. I did this just in case I wanted to change something. I find myself doing that a lot, since if I want to go back and edit something I don't want anyone whose reading this to get a notification.

7. At one point I was going to make James die, but I couldn't write it, and I felt too connected to his character.

8. The reason that John and Alex only get together towards the end is because the whole book is about "Unrequited Love" and it wouldn't make sense for them to get together super early. That's why only in the epilogue they date.

9. The hardest part to write for me was the love note from the start. I don't know why, but everything I wrote felt wrong. Probably since I would never write a love note. The one I have now is not very good, and if I ever feel inspired I might rewrite it.

10. Well writing this, I have already started on five more Lams books. One of them is really basic, the others are actually kind of unique. I actually have like 10 story ideas, but the problem is actually writing them. A lot of the time I'll start one then get bored with it and go onto the next. I'm the most involved in one of them that I'm writing which I'm planning on publishing next.

11. One thing I suck at is editing a grammar, so there's probably a bunch of spelling/grammar mistakes in this. I probably should have written this at the start, but if anyone pointed out mistakes I may go over them in the future and fix them, or get a friend to edit them.

12. I'm currently pondering over if I should do a sequel, despite having the epilogue. I have started one fanfic that is when John and Alex are older, but I'm not sure if it will be a continuation of this one.

13. On Wattpad I don't have any friends, and none of my real life friends or family know that I write fan fiction. I have only one online friend that I told. (And one ex-friend)

14. I would love to do a meet the author, but one problem is that I don't want to share too much of my personal life. If you guys want me to do that, I could.

15. At the start I wasn't sure if I wanted historical or musical Lams. I chose musical since I had better descriptions to use, although I would be totally open to doing historical in the future.

16. One thing I did a lot was a bunch of fillers. I did this so the book didn't seem too rushed, and I could show characters relationships with each other easier. I also did it to get the readers more connected with the characters. For example, in the original first act Eleanor only was in one chapter besides the one where she died. I added a few more to show how close John was to his mom and to get readers more connected.

17. If you have a Lams fanfic you have written that hasn't gotten a lot of attention, please comment or message me. I will be your first view, vote, and comment. I know how it feels when a fanfic you worked really hard on doesn't get a lot of views, so I want to support you all as much as I can.

18. The thing that makes me the happiest is getting comments. I'm not sure why, it just makes me really happy.

19. I started listening to Hamilton over the summer, since my friend really enjoyed it. I almost immediately connected with John, and didn't even realize he died until I watched a animation, since I listened to the original soundtrack without his interlude.

20. I really enjoyed making this story and I'm looking forward to showing you guys my next ones! Thank you for the support, I love you so much <3
