Hey everyone,
          	
          	Just a notice that I went through Stardust the last few days and cleaned up a lot. I scaled down some wordiness and over-descriptiveness in the first few chapters, fixed a lot of typos/continuity issues and also changed a couple of things. One of the more noticeable changes is to Owen and Levi - I admit I was young and tone deaf when I described them as "American Indians." I could've simply changed to the correct term of Native American, but through a smidge of research, I discovered that Native American people USUALLY keep their orphans within Native American families/communities, so I did change their race entirely. I still want to represent diversity, but never in a way that's ignorant or harmful, so my apologies to anyone who noticed my error in using such an outdated term to refer to Native Americans.
          	
          	If you enjoyed Stardust, Sunbound or any of my short stories, please leave a comment or vote if you haven't already. And please tell a friend to tell a friend about my work as I try to rebuild my readership here.
          	
          	Thank you bunches! <3

I just re read stardust after reading it 2 years ago. I’m so glad you come back to wattpad. This book had a chokehold on my heart. My names Will Star, and I’m a fellow writer and author. I can’t wait for stardust to become a book and I can’t wait to support you

AHHHHH MAAIII GAWWDDD URR BACKKK I HOPE UR DOING WELLLLL. I’m still not over stardust, I also read Sunbound and I’ve literally spent hours thinking of a million reasons why Skylar still should’ve ended with Jake, lmaoo. 
          I literally downloaded Wattpad back to scream here for you to come back, but I didn’t actually think you wouldd. ❤️

ive read stardust at least 30 times in the span of 9 months and i am speechless. i have no idea how to sum up how i feel about the book because holy shit i empathize with it so deeply it leaves me feeling completely hollowed out, especially after sunbound. it hits too close to home particularly because ive had a similar experience with a person like skylar and a lot of details match up so much its frightening, but it makes the book that much more meaningful. the plot and your writing and the way you approach things all combined makes it so. i genuinely have no words. despite the fact that stardust is very depressing, and thats an understatement, its still my comfort book and i usually end up with a heavy heart but simultaneously feeling lighter. people like skylar are incredibly misunderstood. but theyre somehow so larger than life that you have a different feeling about them youve never attributed to anyone else.  they leave an unforgettable impact in the lives of those who can see them for who they are and see the how their very existence emanates light. it takes a long time to think about them without feeling some kinda dread. i would put into words how deeply touching your work is and id get my understanding and fascination across in much greater detail but i couldnt articulate it. i wish you the best that life has to offer.

Sunbound's 30th and final chapter is now live. Thank you, a million times, to whoever's stuck with me since the first chapter was published here in 2014. And thank you to any newer readers and future readers - your views, votes and comments will forever and always be appreciated. 
          
          My next plan is to comb through Stardust with a final update. I realize I was a little... wordy back then (to say the least lol). I plan on doing some heavy edits so that it matches my current writing style better and is more cohesive with Sunbound's style. After that, I'm not sure where my writing will take me, but I hope to be able to share it with anyone left here.
          
          Thank you again and always. <3

@spiderwebbed not to sound totally desperate and dramatic which i am but i would deadass give anything for just a oneshot of an alternate ending for jake. if youve ever thought about it even just once i would be thrilled to read it

@spiderwebbed I always read it as Jake's thought process, he did seem like an overthinker at times and the wordy-ness did fit him well. Compared to the change in style compared to Sunbound, I just figured it was due to the years that have passed and how much Skylar had matured.
            
            Either way, congratulations on completing the series! Can't wait for the eventual announcement when you publish lol, and looking forward to what you bring next.
