uhhhhh whatās up yāall! itās been 5 years since i posted anything. just wanna say iām SO SORRY for leaving all my fics (especially i bet you wonāt) completely unfinished. i just spent a few hours skimming through IBYW and⦠i have so much to say about it⦠i wrote it when i was 14 and some of the writing is just⦠wow. plot holes, forgotten aspects of the story, things that straight up conflict each other⦠but what stuck out the most was that people are still reading it and commenting on it even years later. i canāt express how happy that makes me. some of you really held this fic close to your heart, and i canāt tell you what happiness and joy that brings me. i graduated from that performing arts school in 2020. iām 19 now (started IBYW when i was 14). i havenāt written an IBYW chapter since 2017, and frankly i havenāt written much of anything since i graduated. but i think i might write another chapter of IBYW. maybe more. or maybe none. i have to think about it. i havenāt written a story, or anything really, in over 3 years. itād take some getting used to. iāll keep you updated, hopefully. i love you all, still, always, i never stopped. thank you for being here for me for this journey that brought me through my young adolescence. i have so much appreciation for every single one of you. re-reading this book and all the comments reminded me of the truly wonderful friends i made here. i will always love you, all of you. from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here for me. i hope i can bring IBYW and all of you the story, closure, and love you deserve. itās 4:30 in the morning. hard to sleep when iām reminiscing of me, my life, when i wrote this fic. i love you all. thank you. zoe
