My Personal Thank You to All of You
Hey Everyone,
This is LaughLoveLive aka Triple L, the author of the story you just read. Before I go I wanted to personally thank each and everyone that followed this story to the end. This was my first fan fic ever and I had an absolute blast! Your reviews encouraged and inspired me to continue writing. I only intended for this story to be a few chapters. I never expected to have 20 chapters and over 46,000 words written. I felt like it was time to end it and I didn't want to leave y'all hanging, wondering if it is going to be updated. Well, here is the definitive word, Thunderstorms is complete.
But don't for one second think that you have heard the last of Triple L. There will be several stories coming down the pike soon. If you are a Raven fan, I've got a couple of ideas rattling around in the ol' nugget. But there are also a couple of other shows I'm looking to "Triple Fic" as it were. Fans of Law and Order, Law and Order: SVU and Ugly Betty, your shows (They're my shows too! I love 'em!) are in my crosshairs.
If you really liked Thunderstorms, which a lot of you said you did, there will be a companion piece/sequel down the line. Just gotta hash it out in my brain.
Anyway, before I go, I again want to thank all of you who submitted a review, especially those who thought enough of me to review more than once and also send me private messages with words of encouragement and thanks. For all of you, I have a mini-story below that is a sort of mini-tribute to the reviewers, private messagers and those that inspired me. Enjoy.
Raven and Fan Fiction
I Used To Look At Her as a young woman that I had a major crush on. With her voluptuous curves, angelic face and stunning hazel eyes, she was like a Dream Come True. I would watch her show ready for An Afternoon of Adventure and laughter. I was having A Summer of Dreams. One day, as a surfed the Internet I came upon this website where people came to express themselves, using only the keyboard and their imagination. I was captivated by stories, humorous and tragic, romantic and dramatic that were Full of Surprises.
As I read story after story in category after category, I felt something inside begin to call on me. It was the Dawning Flames of a burning desire to share a story with all of you. My mind screamed out "Follow Your Heart" as the desire to become an author grew stronger. The characters of TSR, especially Raven and Chelsea, jumped out at me, begging for yet another voice. The Weekendcame and went, and then one Monday, I decided to write. From Unexpected Places within my mind, the voices came, the words began to flow and Thunderstorms of creativity began to rumble in my mind. As I posted my first chapter I wondered, Would You Care to Listen to the ideas in my head? The reviews began to come in and you said Don't Let It Be Over, keep going, we're with you.
So I continued to write about the love Raven and Chelsea had for each other only they didn't know it yet. It was indeed a story of Loss, Love and Friendship. They worried, they danced, they argued, they apologized And With A Kiss, The Walls Came Crashing Down. They continued to worry, and dance, and argue, and kiss until all who cared about them knew that they were in love.
Their story is now told and it is time to Say Goodbye. And I'm Ok with that. You all are wondering like me, Where Do We Go From Here? Well, wherever it is it will be quite a journey. So let's all close our eyes. Think about Raven. Memorize Her Smile. Be Strong. Because there is Much More Than This. Don't give up on Triple L because this story is over. I guarantee that the next one will be Worth Fighting For.
I love you all. I'll be back soon.
