Hey there, lovely! Welcome to COSMIC 2 and thank you so much for checking out my story! I just wanted to clarify a few things real quick since there are now several versions of Cosmic now and they are as follows.

This series began as a fem reader and was written so for a while [fem reader is still being written and released] the plan originally being to wait till the series finished to go back and make he/him and they/them copies but then I decided not to wait any longer and have gotten started on them now!

And recently, one of you reached out and asked/offered to translate Cosmic to Portuguese! Im happy to announced the first chapter has already been released and is available! Feel free to click the link to their profile and read the story there if you prefer it in Portuguese! And thank you again to Z for making that happen!

On to my he/him and they/them reader copies of Cosmic! Inclusivity has always something I've tried hard to strive for as much as i possibly can so that's what brought me to the decision of making three different copies. If you haven't read the first chapter, the disclaimer in book one of both he/him & they/them copies, it explains that basically; I'm gonna mess up.

I'm all on my own here with combing through and changing pronouns and tweaking what I feel is most appropriate to tweak in terms of what or what not might make sense with each book's respective pronouns while ultimately still keeping everything that makes Cosmic, Cosmic. And unfortunately I'm not gonna catch everything, and as a cis girl, I'm sorry but I'm probably gonna make a mistake here and there but I'd be more than happy to fix it if you just please let me know! Like if I miss a "she" here or there or even a "they", cause it's hard to catch everything. And another thing is, ultimately, I am very much aware that pronouns and the concept of gender identity are vastly more complicated than just she/her, they/them and he/him but unfortunately I can only do so much! And unlike with book one with the pronoun copies, they will now be released at the same time instead of one book before the other!

Before I wrap this up, I want to state something and clear things up in case you didn't read book one or at the least, the disclaimer at the beginning of book 1: everything about these copies is going to stay the same as much as possible to how I write it in the fem reader. The fem reader is not "the correct one" just the one I've been writing the longest and the one I go to when I pick up where I left off. That being said, I've recently been going out of my way to create moments where both Will and Y/n can consider feelings for their friends [ei, Byler or what I've been calling Yelmax] for the sake of interpretation. No matter where the story takes y/n and the others - no matter who i have the reader and/or will flirt with, ei, byler, or what I've been referring to as Yelmax in book 3 - Will and Y/n will remain the top priority since this is and will always remain a Will x Reader book. Yes, again, down the road Max and El do have some heavily implied moments with Y/n in book 3 specifically, but ultimately, it's up to interpretation and everyone's interpretations are valid and, at the time, were things I will admit I wanted fem readers to explore for interpretation that ended up working well with the story.

That's pretty much it, thank you so much for reading it really really helps me in the long run from having to explain stuff over and over which can be difficult. I will be updating this book [again, at the same time as the they/them vers] as soon as I can, life has been getting very busy for me and it's been very very difficult to stay active [for more info check my message board]. If you want to get in contact with me, you will have the best luck on here rather than tumblr or quotev for lots of reasons, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have! Thank you again for reading this, I know it was super long. Love you all so much, hope you're staying safe and happy!
