      Ok. Normally I do not do this. If I want to tell you guys something than I normally will just make it an attachment to the chapter that has been written. However, today is a very special day for me most definitely because today marks one year since I have published the preface of this...book? But yes, a day before I wrote it I was really contemplating on writing a Freddie fanfic. But let me tell you that it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my entire life.

       Please allow me to tell you all how this came to be. So two days prior I saw Bohemian Rhapsody and I was completely blown away by what I saw and instantly became a Queen fan. But overall I was just in love and fascinated by Freddie. I was listening to Queen all night and I just couldn't get them off my mind. I apologize if I sound crazy right now. But as most would know, I was predominantly a Michael Jackson page until I started writing this story and became both a Michael and Queen page. But I seriously thought that I had a theme going on and I couldn't change it. But that was a lie that society told me. I'm telling you guys to do what you want as long as it makes you happy. It's your page and you're allowed to break the rules. Anyways, so I was thinking of ideas for this potential Freddie Mercury Fanfiction and, most of them sucked. Then I asked myself what he would be like as a dad. Which is a very funny concept because it's something that we always wonder at least at one point. I at first thought he would be very laid back and that would cause a lot of conflict in the story. But as I thought about it even more, I realized that I was wrong, and he would be strict as hell. That would also cause a lot of conflict in the story. Suddenly on November 5th, 2018 at around one o'clock in the morning, I couldn't sleep so I made the choice to draft the preface and I didn't even edit it. The title was very last minute because I made it what I believed would be people's initial reaction to Freddie being Tiffany's dad. I just hit publish to see what would happen. Nowadays I realized that it was shit. So to make a long story short, I put a whole bag of jellybeans up my ass and this story was born.

       I'm just kidding. But as soon as I hit publish, I did not know what to expect. Then the first vote and the first comment came in, and I would never forget that. It was such a memorable moment for me and I have to conclude how this shit show happened by saying that the rest is history.

       I am forever grateful for this story. It is literally my baby and if anything were to happen as to where I couldn't write I would actually cry. But I am more so grateful for all of you because you all made this what it is today. All of you gave me the motivation to continue to write. There were times when I was tired and hated writing. But it was worth the struggle doing it for you guys. I believed that this story truly sucked but you all happened to prove otherwise. I never expected that this story would have more than what is now fifty parts to it. But thanks to all of you it is what it is today. So thank you all so much and I love you all immensely.

Alright, I'm not going to waste your time anymore and I just want to once again say thank you very much and I hope you all have an amazing day.

Sincerely,
Lily 💙
