Hello there once again fellow degenerates. At least I hope most of you are degenerates cause otherwise I would feel bad about myself. Or I won't because who has time to feel bad when I actually managed to do something I could only dream of. I'm not kidding when I say I'm immensely thankful to all of you who have read this far into the story. Without you, I don't think I'd continue this. Not because I don't like writing this story. In fact, I'd say I haven't enjoyed writing a story more. It's just that writing without an audience reading it kind of feels hollow to me at least.

So, again, thank you all for reading this weird brain matter that I vomit out on a daily basis. We are halfway to 100,000 views baby, lets push this farther!

This isn't just going to be a thanks either. I have a few announcements. First off, every time I do a special little announcement like this, I'm going to title it as "Author Tag In." This is to differentiate it from the actual chapters of the story so people can skip these if they so wish and get on with the damn story already. 

I also have another chapter coming out on Sunday which will begin the wrap up of this arc. The wrap up itself will take a few chapters since there are so many story threads which I need to tie together and I need to put everything into position for the next arc. I predict that the ending for this arc will be around chapter 64 or chapter 65. I don't exactly know yet since I've only now gotten started writing a backlog. 

Yep, that's right. Dumbass me over here published this story without a backlog. I tried to write a backlog before I first published this story, but once I finished my second chapter, I just posted them both at the same time right away. Cause nothing's going to go wrong, right? Well a few things did go wrong. I began writing a chapter a day, vomiting whatever came to mind on the page. Only recently I've actually decided definitively where I want to take my characters down. The early chapters, I don't think actually portrays my story well. I think it does it's job of bait and switching people while setting up for the darker moments, but the earlier chapters could have done it better. What I mean is, I could have done better.

As a writer, it's always good to be aware of one's faults, strengths, and weaknesses. As I'm writing chapter 62(if you would like to know what chapter I'm writing currently) I think I've realized my strengths as well as most of my weaknesses. Like I can't write present tense for shit cause I keep on switching to past tense so frequently cause I'm used to writing in past tense. So I think I'm just going to write past tense from now on, outside of obvious situations were past tense wouldn't make sense, like in character dialogue. Will I ever edit my early chapters then? Maybe once I graduate in the next few weeks, but right now, I'm too busy to edit both my new chapters and early chapters.

I have quite a lot of plans prepared for the future too. Now that I got a better view of where I want to take my story, I can't really say where this will end. I have a definitive ending in mind, just to let you know. I always come up with my endings first before anything, so I know where everyone's going to end up. I just need to make sure the journey is satisfying. But, if I were to give a general estimate from how long I've already made the story, and this is arguably just the beginning, I'd say this entire story could easily get to around 500 chapters. I'm not kidding here. That's how much I got planned. 

So, before I sign out, and before I write the ever loving crap out of more chapters, I want to say it one more time. Thank you for reading my story. Not just the people who've gotten this far. Even to the people who only read the first chapter and didn't pick it up again. I sincerely thank you for at least giving my story a shot. I may be far from perfect, but I swear to you, I'll write a story that no one will ever forget. Even if there may be a few crooked edges here and there, I hope you can enjoy the ride just as much as I enjoyed building it.
