Aesthetically Blue

Hello everyone! It really has been a long time since I've even been on this website haha. Now that I FINALLY have some free time in my life I can get back to this story (which I see has been gaining popularity...isn't that crazy???) 
          
          It's been two years since I wrote the first chapter of The Dragon and The Ocean and at least a a couple of months since I even looked at it so I figured it would be a good time for a refresher. I'm going through, starting from chapter 1, and editing these chapters I wrote so long ago. Don't worry the story is staying the exact same (unless I find a huge plot hole or something lol), I just need to remember all the details of my work and figured I might as well edit on top of that.
          
          Once that is done I can start posting new chapters again for everyone to hopefully enjoy. For those of you who have been reading this for a while I hope that everything stays as good as it was for you since the beginning when this only had a couple of readers. And for those of you who are new, welcome and I hope you enjoy what I've got for you! :]

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR 10K READS!! This is so insane :) I don't even know what else to say, because I say thank you all the time and I feel like I'm starting to get repetitive, but seriously, thank you all. Alright here are the story stats:
          
          I have 219 votes (which is almost triple the amount of votes as last time)
          
          Categories: #12 in Zuko, #129 in avatarthelastairbender, #117 in atla, and #822 in Zutara (I still don't know how those work but that seems pretty good to me :D)
          
          Anyway, thank you all again so much!

5K!!!!! This is so exciting :P. It's been three months since the last milestone and it has been quite a journey for me. I can't thank you guys enough. It just makes me so happy to see people reading, voting, and commenting on my story. Thank you all so much! <3 Here are some quick story stats just so that I personally (and any of you guys if  you want) can look back at this. 
          
          As of now I have 76 votes (thanks for everyone who voted :D)
          I have also held the number one spot (out of 52) in the zukoxkatara category for a while now (I still don't know how the whole category thing works but that's still pretty cool)
          I'm also #157 in avatar (out of 7k), #141 in avatarthelastairbender (out of 5.1k), and #731 in Zutara (out of 867)
          
          I will continue to supply you all with more Zutara. I'm enjoying writing this probably as much as you guys like reading it :). Thank you for everyone who has read!

I can not believe that this book just hit 1k reads! You don't know how excited I am right now!! I never ever though I would get to this point (as small as it my be to some) but some how I managed to get here. I can't thank you all enough for reading this story and enjoying it. It seriously is one of the craziest things ever :D
          
          I promise you guys that I'm working on the next chapter. It's just taking me a while so sorry about that. I will get it out as soon as I can and again thank you all so much! :) :P

500 reads!! That's insane! I don't even know what to say besides thank you :P Seeing how many people read this really is a comforting thought. I'm so glad you all are enjoying it.
          
          Anyway, onto the next thing. I don't want to put this in the story itself, so it doesn't interrupt the reading experience. Hopefully the people who are reading it, will see this. 
          
          If you don't know by now, everything that I have been posting up to this point has been prewritten. I started this story when I was bored a few months ago, but never really did anything it besides adding more and more.
          
          I didn't expect people to actually read this when I first posted it, so I didn't plan on what would happen when I got to the point where I run out of prewritten stuff. 
          
          I'm currently in the process of writing new parts, but they are super rough drafts and I want to make sure that I give you guys the best content that I can produce. Don't worry, this story is still going to get updated and hopefully some day finished in a way that will satisfy you all (but that won't come for a while :D). Just stick with me for a few days, and I promise you guys will get more Zutara. 
          
          Thanks again fro all of the reads!

My Zutara book just hit 200 reads!! :D
          You guys don't know how cool this is to me, but thank you so much!!
          The story also got its first vote which is pretty great too
          Also we can't forget...my first follower :)
          
          You all (if you see this) seriously don't know how surprised I am. This is really like my first story so 200 just seems like such a big number. It's just so cool that people are reading it and liking it enough to keep reading when I post a new part. Thank you so much!! :)

I don't have any followers, I'm not sure if this will do anything/if anyone will see this. I kinda just want to put this here as like a tracker of where the story has been. But anyway, my Zutara book just hit 50 reads in 3 days since I have posted it. I never thought that: 
          1. Anyone would read it 
          2. That people would read it all the way through
          3. It would happen this fast
          4. It would be number 13 in out of about 800 stories.
           
          I'm not really sure how the rankings work, but I just think that's so cool. Thanks for anyone who has read!
