This fanfiction is the hardest one I've written by far and not only did I constantly repeat myself (it's an anime fan fiction, you can only do so much), but I had to keep consistent with the first book which I know I didn't do.

Here's some more interesting tidbits I've collected throughout my stressful journey with this tale.

— I knew Rufus was the class rep when I was writing Sting as one, but for some reason, I didn't stop to think that I should go back to change it. 😅

— I always wanted to add media to the story like all those anime openings, endings, and OST. I never got around to doing it till now because it took hours to find anime openings on YouTube that weren't copyrighted.

— I have a tiny notebook with notes about this fanfiction, my Rogue fanfiction, and my Stingue fanfictions. My memory is so bad that every time I want to mention something from past chapters, I have to search for it in my notebook. It has information about the character's seats, jobs, and family/friend connections. It also has little facts about the character's past.

— We are nowhere near done with Mard Geer.💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

— Or Zeref my honeys. 😍😘

— And Larcade is gonna play a HUGE roll in the next book.🤭

— I originally wanted to make the books about each year in the reader's high school. Now with the second year meshing into the third book, I'm going to change it up and possibly shorten the reader's third year. That or make a fourth book. Idk. 😉🤗

— I really want the reader to have different personalities throughout the books so everyone can relate at some point in the story. That's why the reader is an aggressive loner in the first book and has evolved into more of an extroverted fighter in this one.

— Most of the time I don't know what I'm going to write about when making new chapters. I'm a pantser 👖 and a plotter 🖋 but I try not to make too many plans for this book because sticking with them gets boring and predictable.

— Picking a job for the reader was the hardest effing thing to do. I wanted the job to connect to all the characters in some way. I was going to make the reader an author (of course), but I'd rather have the reader stray away from what's expected. So many people in this fanfiction are already writers anyway.

— I have no idea what Sting's reaction is gonna be to the kiss. 😭😬😧 Do y'all want drama or something sweet?

— There are parallels in the titles of the chapters for book 1 and 2. And so far only Zorua_the_Adorable has noticed! Nice job dude. I never thought anyone would notice that so when you did I almost cried. 🥰

— You guys can still totally share your OC's if you'd like! Just PM me and I'll post any pictures or information you'd like here in the book.

— Quick question that may or may not have something to do with the story (haha), but if reader and Sting happened to have a kid, what gender and appearance would you guys (personally) want that kid to have? Any names y'all wanna share?

— I'll possibly be making a chapter surrounding the early years of Sting's relationships with everyone before he met the reader.

I love y'all so much and appreciate the love, the support, and the absolute fangirliness I see in the comments in every chapter. You guys are amazing and I hope these chapters continue to bring out the best of you guys!
