first off: happy new year, everyone! just so you're aware, this isn't a chapter. any updates to this book from now on will only be updates, not new chapters; it is indeed finished.
i've had the final chapter planned for over a year now, and honestly, it doesn't quite feel real that it's finally out. it's a little strange to think that this fic is finally over.
thank you all so much to all of you, my lovely readers! <3 thank you to you who have stuck with me, suffered through my infrequent updates, and patiently waited! (special kudos to anyone who's reading the author notes as well :]) it's been a pleasure, and a journey. i started writing this fic over four years ago, as a lonely 13-year-old, and now i've finished my first semester of college! crazy to think how much things have changed since then. (for one, i like to think my writing has improved a lot. lol.)
it wasn't always easy to write this fic. i didn't know what i was doing at the time or where i would end up taking this story, i just kinda went along and hoped for the best. i had no plan or outline whatsoever, and just built off of each chapter as i wrote them (which explains why there are so many plot threads in earlier chapters that never get mentioned again lol). at times, i didn't know if i was going to be able to finish this story, but, well, here we are now. i hope you enjoyed it!
this fic started off as a way for me to escape. i was doing a lot of that at that time in life when i began; just trying to escape the reality i didn't want to face by throwing myself into endless stories. i don't know what you guys were doing or what you've been through while you were reading this, but i hope it let you escape, too.
for old times' sake, i'll be hosting one last q + a. there probably won't be any new chapters, but i'll probably respond to your comments.
once again, thank you all so much for reading! i hope you found entertainment, comfort, or whatever it is you were looking for in this story. and remember, there is someone out there for all of you :] but until then, being single isn't so bad. (they probably won't be a mutant ninja turtle but i suppose it's not entirely impossible.) i hope all of you have a good one!
