I am not sure if you guys are willing to read so much, but I hope you do. I have a lot of things to share with you guys. I know it is long but please do read it. Even my BR's note is there so please don't skip it. Please don't skip that because I never really got the chance to add their thoughts.
It actually ended. Man~~ I feel like crying. It fucking hurts. 😶 My Fridays are going to turn empty and I will really really really miss editing this. And god knows why I am listening to sad songs while writing this. 🙂🤦🏻♀️
It took quite some time for me to finish this book. So I want to share how it felt writing this.
This book has been a roller coaster. There were even times when I thought if I should just write a chapter with the summary of the story and leave it. But then I got my emotions to settle down and continued it.
So beginning with my inspiration, I watched these A, B and C dramas / series . So they were like the base for the idea. My main inspiration were the actors from A. Because I am absolutely obsessed with it even now. About B and C, they were the reason I was actually interested in the genre and wrote this. I cannot really choose between B and C. But a teeny weeny bit, I would be leaning towards B. First love is first love after all. 😂
So as for my draft.....god it was absolute junk. 😂 NGL it felt like trash to me. So I sent it to my BR and the response was ' I don't see your magic in it '. And I already knew that. 😂 I replied saying ' I know '. It was way too vague and plain. So at a point of time, I stopped and thought of editing it, but it didn't work. That was agony. It sends chills to me even now. 😂 So I decided to finish it first and then concentrate on editing it. So I finished it and then sat with editing it .
The lock-down that happened is the reason I finished the book so fast. Because I had a lot of time in my hands. I used to sit on it for as long as I could. I couldn't do it for a quality amount of time. The editing I mean. And then I started to analyse why it wasn't working. I realized I didn't know the characters as much as I should. I also saw how my draft looked like a story without proper characterization. So I started to think of what I want and started again. One fine day with a positive attitude I edited a little and sent it to my BR. And my BR said this is it. The magic is back. 😂😂 Since it worked I was happy and then you guys know. I started posting by editing little by little.
But as I wrote, it felt like I saw Luke and Leo more than just characters and I didn't even see those actors in them maybe. So I got attached to them on a different level. My sons. 🥰🥺 For that matter it is the same even with Jade and Ken. They are the best of friends you can ever ask for. 🥰
Also I never wanted to label their genders. I don't think it is particularly necessary to give names to everything right ? So yeah. I never named them. And it is going to be that way. They will be my favorite sons forever no matter what. 😂
Speaking of the characters, for me Luke is my favorite and you all know that already. 😂 He is the most relatable character to me. Sometimes it felt as if my inner self is speaking. 😂 But besides that I like them all equally. 😊
I know I didn't really say much about Jade and Ken. To begin with I never had the thought of putting them together and Jade had very less part in my original draft. Ken appears a bit more because he works along with Luke. My BR and sibling said it would be nice to make them a couple and convinced me to make it happen. So I decided to do it. Because, why not ? 😂 So they will get married too and start living together happily.
I want to give you guys the birthdays of them as well. (DD/MM/YYYY) They don't have any meaning or anything. I just chose them on how I felt like at that moment. 😂
Luke : 15 / 08 / 1996
Leo : 31 / 10 / 1995
Jade : 09 / 09 / 1995
Ken : 18 / 11 / 1996
So as for Kayla I really have no explanation to her behavior. Anyways she is kind of obsessed with Luke and our villain so I don't see any good in her. 😂
Speaking of Leo's mom. Actually I don't know why but I made it that she is a single mother. Don't ask what happened to her husband. I don't know too. So she had to build the whole business empire by herself. So she is a strong independent woman. And then when it comes to Leo, he doesn't like it. So she can't just leave everything like that which she worked so hard to build and bring it to the stage it is. So she doesn't know if she marries him to some girl who can take care of it, but what if it goes wrong. So she decided on getting him married to Luke.
Why Luke? Because he was someone rich and capable of handling all these. So when she wanted them to get married, she might've thought of three possibilities. One would be that they might really like each other. I appreciate this because she is LGBTQ friendly.
Second they will, the least, be friends. Third is the worst. They might end up being enemies. So she gambled with these chances and hoped for the best. And since the nice ones have a 2/3 chances, she was confident that they might end up on good terms.
In the first case, she need not worry at all if the love each other. In second, Luke will at least help Leo as long as he can if they become good friends . The third.... never hope for it. Be optimistic. So she isn't all bad. She only wanted Leo to have a good life and also keep her company. So she is kind of nice too maybe not expressive enough.
Based on all these even if she was really not that good towards Leo, I will respect her because Luke and Leo met because of her.
I don't really know what I think about their future. Maybe they will adopt a kid. Jade and Ken will get married too and have a kid too. So then it is the kids' story. It would be nice if Luke and Leo have a daughter maybe and for Jade and Ken a son. It would be cute.
But there are multiple scenarios I can think of. One maybe....one of them has a daughter and the other has a son. So they both either fall in love with each other or be really good siblings and have their own separate love stories.
Second if they both have sons, they can trouble makers of the city. Woaahhhh!!!! I love this idea. Even in this, they can either be really good friends with their own different stories or they both fall in love with each other.
But either way, it is good. Anything can happen. But I am not planning on a sequel. I will not write it. For me, I only want it to be till here. I have many ideas I wanted to turn into stories. So a sequel is not in it, at least for now. I don't know what the future holds, but for now, it is a no. I am making no promises on this. I don't have anything against sequels, just that I am not sure if I can make it happen and also I am scared of not being able to meet the standards of the prequel. So for now it is a no. Like I said I don't know the future too and if I can really come up with a nice plot I might write too. Who knows. 🤷🏻♀️
Also I would like to thank every single one for reading this. It means a LOT. I am so happy for the recognition I received. It might have been really cliche or routine, but to the ones who've stuck with it until the end, thank you so so so so so so so much.
While I am at it, I want to thank my BR. For putting up with my shit for all these days. And have to put up with even in the future. Thank you so much for all of it. And then my BF. I called or texted out of the blue and ranted how I am banging my head over things. Thank you so much for helping me all the time. I don't know if I will stay sane if it wasn't for these both who always stayed by my side. They also have wonderful ideas some times. My BR did help me a lot with ideas. And my BF used to do it too even if they never read it. Last but not the least my dear sibling. I knew how much my sibling put up with. 😂 Thanks for all of that and I will keep my promise with you. ( with my sibling )😂
Sooooooo...............what next ?
I am trying to write another bl. I hope it works. I am not sure if I will be able to finish it fast, but I am trying my best. If possible I want to start posting that around the same time I started this last year if I can make it happen. In fact I want to make it happen.
Actually my next story should've been the sequel of my first story, but that plot didn't come out that well. I tried working on it but something wasn't right and I didn't like the outcome. So maybe it is not the time for it. Not yet maybe. So for now I decided to concentrate on the one I started. So if it works, fully, then it will be that. I will release the story once everything is settled. I am planning on finishing it as soon as possible and send it to my BR. Then we will discuss and get it done with. I will announce it here too. So that you guys will know when I start posting it.
I guess I said all the things I want to. So...........that's that. Sorry for making it super long.😅🙈 Please look forward to the next one and hopefully it receives as much love as ' a love so unexpected ' has received. Thank you once again and this is officially the end of this book and the journey of the love stories of Luke and Leo; Jade and Ken. 😭🤧 I never felt this bad saying goodbye to anyone. 🥺 I am definitely going to miss my favorite son, Luke. 🤗🥺 But done is done. Let bygones be bygones. So I am going to say a bye with a smile. 😊🥰
And if you guys have any questions, you can leave comments and I will answer as long as I can. 😊
Love, MG.💖
My BR's note :
To,
MG/ALSU Readers,
Its over🥺 I still cant believe that the book is done. It's too much to handle (*wipes a tear*). Let's not get all emotional and sad shall we??
Hey everyone ALSU's BR here! I'm sure you've all read a lot about me through the A/Ns😂 I still remember the day MG texted me saying she always wanted to write a bl. I was so excited about it and you can imagine my reaction when I discovered she actually had written a book roughly.
I was eagerly waiting for her to start posting the story. And when she finally did and began sending me the refined drafts, I was so happy. I was so glad to learn about Luke and Leo. I couldn't wait for them to start falling in love😂
Then came Ken and Jade👀👀👀 Oooohh~~ You should all know that I'm officially the vice president of their fan club(after MG's sister) We shipped them so hard that we convinced MG to make theirs into a love story! You're all very welcome 😌
And now after watching all of them slowly fall in love... I feel like a proud momma🥺Luke and Leo's love story was a beautiful journey.. so beautiful that words fall short in describing it. Sadly as all good things do, it has come to an end.
But I really do love those two (even more when they're together) and will miss them dearly but its okay.. one click and we can read it again😂
Wishing Luke and Leo a happy married life and congratulating the new couple(Ken and Jade) and wishing MG lots of success in her future stories, I end this note❤️
Yours lovingly,
BR.
