Chapter: heart to heart

Hi everyone, so I didn't really want to do this because I didn't want you guys to be let down that this wasn't an actual chapter, plus I feel like it breaks up my story which is why I was going to put this at the end of the next chapter, but it's to long for an author's note so now it's an author's chapter, i will Address as much as I can as well as answer the top comely asked questions in private messages (I might do more if you like them) So with that said First things first.

Number 1- apologies and long waits.

So believe it or not I've got college courses and a part time job I do need to tend to, don't worry though I have Many ideas and I'm not stopping but please bare with me, I do admit this is not my first choice on how to do my story I'd much prefer to have multiple chapters done so I could go over them and get them out faster, but with the way things are right now I have to write as I go but I assure you I'm always working on a chapter and they are coming.

Number 2 - storyboard/layout and writing.

Alright so yes I do understand that when I started the stories there were not the best in sentence structure or spelling, but keep in mind I've never wrote a story ment for reading before.

not to mention because of time I never proof read the chapters before posting them (at first) and I apologize and have corrected that habit and have even tried to update the chapters that I did not originally proof read, I also have to admit that I picked a piss poor time to do these stories because not only is time low but all I do all day is write for school and work so coming home to write a story isn't my first choice, but I like it and some of you do as well, which brings me to another habit I need to fix which is rushing content.

That makes for bad story layout but I am taking actual time when I write now so it will hopefully get better, you guys have also been a great help I appreciate it, a smart man will learn from his own mistakes but an even smarter man will learn from other people's mistakes.

Number 3- pm Q&A.

Alright So some of you want some background on me in relation to the story as well as the story it self, so as for me and my credentials and yes I do have a lot, especially for my age.

Q1) what's my age?

A) so my age is 23 I'm almost 24 couple more months to go.

Q2) Do I have anything to do with law enforcement or know anyone in law enforcement?

A) yes most of my family are mostly military or police and I have deep roots to both, I also hope to be a police officer some day, which is why I have chosen the courses I have.

Q3) Am I in law enforcement myself?

A) kind of, so I did do lots of ride alongs and got involved in my local police departments Auxiliary unit, feel free to do some research but the basic rundown is that Auxiliary officers are volunteers, so the difference between volunteer officers and sworn in officers is just that, Auxiliary officers are not sworn in but they do perform many different duties related to there full time counterparts, and they do wear the same uniform as full time officers, the only difference being that Auxiliary officers do not carry a gun and have the word Auxiliary somewhere on there uniform, it's a great experience and excellent for community service points, I definitely recommend it if you are interested, I would suggest you ask your local police department for more information.

Q4) what's my thoughts and views?

A) well let's just say I'm not a pink pantie tree hugging hippie liberal.

Q5) my personality?

A) my personality is definitely unique I would say I'm a nice person, I accept everyone for who they are (everyone has their own kind of beauty inside of them, you just have to be willing to find it) I also believe that you don't step over people to get to the top, you pick them up and take them with you, I hope that's a good enough answer, because I actually don't really know how to answer that one, much less write it out, but I tried, hope it helps.

:Story related questions:

Q1) what is jump city's police force based off?

A) well jump city is usually set in San Francisco so that would mean that normally the JCPD would be based off of the SFPD, but I pictured the JCPD uniforms looking more like NYPD uniforms, so if you wanted a visual that's the uniform look, and yes I know that Gotham is supposed to be New York but it's my story.

Q2) Will there be a sex scene?

A) weird question but yes (beast boy) or Garfield will get some at some point.

Q2) Is Raven/Rachel supernatural in the story?

A) maybe

Q4) will the other characters end up together with their respected pairings :ie star with officer Grayson and jinx with officer wally west?

A) I wasn't planning on it, especially since many like different pairings, but I am thinking about it do to some of you having a good case, so will see but the main pare is bbrae.

Q5) will I make other stories?

A) yes I actually do have another one up (BUDS) but I'm flaking on that one as well I know, I just have so many different ideas for it that I can't seem to make up my mind on how to proceed, but yes there is more chapters to come for that as well, and as for other teen Titans related stories, yes definitely I have many more other ideas with more to come all bbrae.

...

Ok so if you couldn't tell those Q&A were actually all of the (what?) Questions but I thought I'd answer them anyway for fun (as truthfully as I could) all of them legit in both asked and answers, but yeah definitely some of the Weirdest one's, I did already answer all of the actual serous ones in the PMs.

So in closing I would just like to say I appreciate each and everyone of you all, really I do please keep the messages and reviews coming my way, I love and enjoy them and I'd like to see at least four reviews a chapter, sorry I hate to put you on the spot, plus the more the merrier I love seeing you guys enjoying the story and I love it when you don't even more because it gets me in gear and makes me try to figure it out so I could try and fix it, then in turn it's more rewarding because I get to see the people who didn't like it turn to liking it.

Im also open to suggestions on the story and more, remember this is your guys story as much as it is mine, don't hesitate to get involved the more you help and ENJOY the better it is, thanks again for the support take care.

...

Dam I hope you all actually made it this far
