sᴇʟᴄᴏᴜᴛʜ (ᴛsᴜ'ᴛᴇʏ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ)

you've changed everything.

Hi, long time no see.

When I wrote this story, I was riddled with all sorts of underlying struggles. Struggles I didn't know how to cope with. This fandom, the world of Pandora, was one of the only places I truly felt safe.

So, I decided to write. I wrote my feelings and disguised it as a story, and then I decided to post it. And that's what you all have read.

The very first chapter of this story was posted December 27th, 2022. Almost two years ago. And since then, lots of things have changed. There's been ups and downs in my life, seemingly more downs then ups. I've grown, I've fallen, I've cried, and I've laughed. I've done things I never thought possible, and failed at things I worked so hard for.

The only constant in my life, has been the unwavering support and love this story has brought into my life. And that's all because of you. So, consider this my official thank you. You're kind words and votes on my chapters have given me confidence in my writing, even when it was weaker. I've been able to grow as an author, and interact with such a kind audience.

Selcouth has such a special place in my heart. It's my biggest secret, and my proudest creation. Thank you for making me smile, and giving me inspiration and motivation to do what I love most. Write. You've changed everything.

Which is why I'd like to announce the happy beginning of a new story, one I believe I teased everyone with in some of the final chapters.

Stayed tuned for Orphic, an Ao'nung x reader love story. Where you, the daughter of... well, yourself, embarks on quite the journey of love and heartbreak.

Hopefully soon, I'll be able to add yet another authors note onto this story and inform you all of my very own book being published. All in due time, I'm sure.

One final thank you, and I hope to see each and every one of you in the next one. I love you, and I'll see you later.
