Hiya! I’ve been a huge fan of the FTNG series for a really long time. I love everything about it: the characters are interesting and unique, your writing is incredibly enjoyable and the plot and its progression is absolute chef’s kiss. It has become one of the core memories in my life and has inspired me and given me courage to do so many things I normally would cower from. Your work is incredible and I’m so thankful that you wrote such an amazing story. I am a novice at book-binding, but I would love to bind the FTNG into physical volumes for my own keeping, however I completely understand if you are not comfortable with this and won’t if you say so. But regardless thank you and I hope you succeed in everything you do! <33

@KatieLove2Write Ohh sorry, it’s been ages since I properly used Wattpad so I didn’t even realise they stopped messages. Yes, I do have discord. My username is @umbriella1864. Tysmm<3

@faerieofshampoo If you have a discord I can share the file that way, unfortunately Wattpad ditched private messages so it's hard to share info without giving too much stuff away, but I'm more comfortable sharing my discord with people than emails, so let me know if that works for you.

Thank you so much and you're so right on the size so I waited a bit before asking bc it's a really intimidating project. But I'd would actually love to get the pdf version from you because the other ways are really long, is there anyway you could message/email it to me? Again, thank you! Have a good day! :)

@KatieLove2Write Come to think of it, have you considered of making a crossover story?

KatieLove2Write

@Dreadnaught75 Ooo fun idea. I think at this point in the story, it might be a bit late. I've done a few collaborations with other people, like my friend Kadets who for a time wrote a story that existed in the same universe and had some carry over of characters, and then when I was doing a grand magic games arc I asked for people to give me OCs to fill the teams. It was a lot of fun! I'm not sure I'd have the opportunity to do something like that again, or if I have time to do that as keeping up with the main story is already a lot of work, but Im always open to ideas when it comes to writing! I love writing, it's in my user name therefore it must be true.

@May8208 Hi May! I'm actually still writing this!! I just haven't published the new volume because I've been too busy/indecisive about the volume cover. So I've been publishing on Patreon and publicly releasing the chapters after the first two are up on patreon! SO here's the link for chapter 1 of Volume VI https://www.patreon.com/posts/volume-vi-1-83011322 Hope you enjoy! There are seven chapters written and five of them are free. I haven't been super open about communication through wattpad, sorry about that!

I just wanted to say how much I love this series. I’ve read a good amount of Fairy Tail next generation fanfics and this is by far the best one I’ve read. I know one of the difficult parts of writing next generation fics is making sure that the kids of the original characters aren’t just carbon copies of them; and I feel like you captured that aspect perfectly. I also love how you wrote Marigold as a character, she fits in so well and I never once thought that she was out of place. I’m eagerly looking forward to the next part of the story, and I hope that Marigold and Lidden get a happy ending together!

KatieLove2Write

@christtroy9 Thank you so much! I've learned so much about writing from working on this story and it means a lot people who read it see my effort. Liddan and Marigold are some of my alltime favorite characters to write, and I hope I can do the ending of the story justice! Just gotta get there first--ahhhhhhh! I'm working on it, believe me...

I remember reading in an authors note you planned on writing a real-world AU for fairy tail, did you ever get around to that? It’s an idea I would LOVE to see your take on, I love your writing so so much!! Was here around the start but took a few years break from reading, so nice to see your progress!

FairyQueen513

That’s totally understandable! What you put out there is up to you and what you want! Currently in Volume 4, I think I’ve been reading non-stop from the start for the past 5 days, keep up the good work and I hope to catch whatever you publish in the future!

@FairyQueen513 Hello! Welcome back to reading this super long mess of a fanfic (woohoo!) As for the AU, I was working on another fanfic called "Fairy Tail Cheers" that I ended up taking down because I thought a few of the jokes were distasteful and just generally didn't like it. I'm afraid I won't be bringing it back, as I focus all my freetime (the little that I have) on completing the final volume of FTNG. I've progressed a lot as a writer thanks to this fanfic, heck I'm currently a grad student studying creative writing with a focus on graphic novels/comics, sooo I've definitely progressed, and after FTNG is done I don't believe I'll be publishing here anymore, which is really sad but I'll stick around wattpad a bit longer thanks to FTNG. Thanks for checking in  and sorry to say I haven't been able to work on all the MANY ideas I had when I was first starting this story.

It feels weird to know this story is over. It was such an important corner stone in my life as a person and literally pivoted me into taking English as a passion. I even started convincing every fairy tail around me to read this story because it is that amazing and you should be proud of this story Katie
          
          I unfortunately haven't read past chapter 21 in Volume 4 because I got into some serious mental health problems and Liddan started to hit a little too close to home (so expect another long note for when that happens XD) but also in a weird way knowing that he must have found resolution is comforting, even if I haven't read it
          
          Also volume 1 is my comfort food for whenever I want a pick me up when I'm feeling depressed as shit. The Sylvie chapter always makes me happy. And Layla's Book especially the Rowen and Gillian is something that i read for funsies and awws XD
          
          I will read the rest of the volumes eventually!! But till then know that if I ever publish the book I'm writing, you will the the one I acknowledge in the first page and you will always be my favourite author Katie!!!

@RySaLove2Write oh I'll definitely finish it one day. And dang, VOLUME 6 HYPE XDXD (no pressure obviously)

@RySaLove2Write Thank you so much for the kind words, but the story isn't actually over! There's another volume left for me to release, but I'm getting there with time...
            
            I understand the challenges with Liddan, and Sylvie alike. I wrote about my own pain through those characters, so I can see if it hits too close to home. Sometimes it hits too close to home for me too but in a way that allows me to process my emotions. 
            
            I've used writing as a way to work through my anxiety for awhile now, and seeing as you're a writer too, I'm sure you do the same. When we write honestly from our own experience, it shows in our work. 
            
            I'm really happy to see my weird little fanfic inspired you and it's something you can look back at fondly. I hope you'll finish volume V some day as it is my favorite to date. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and kind words, I wish you luck as a fellow writer :)
