-First off I'd like to thank all of you guys for reading my story. It's been truly amazing coming through and finish this. With all of your reviews (*wink wink* at a few people in particular, you know who you are) it's been great to see that you've been reading. I really don't think there's a way I could repay you enough. ANNOUNCEMENTS AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER


So I guess that since the story is finished, and all ideas I had for it are irrelevant now, I guess I could share a few with you.

Touko was originally going to be the one to die. I had it planned since chapter 7. They would be flying, and she would fall off of Pidgeotto while asleep. The point of view would switch to N, Red would arrive, broken up about Touko's death, and then BAM, Red's sequel. But, in the end, I decided to go with Red dying. My reason? I don't know. We had stuck with Touko the whole story, and to suddenly lose the main character would be a total bummer.

On another dropped idea, there were going to be lemons in this story, and the romance was meant to be more direct... But I don't know. I feel like the light sprinkle of kisses and other sweet gestures was just enough to keep the story interesting, but not bogged down with lovey-dovey crap. I'm sure you can all guess when the lemon was supposed to happen (when they were asleep at Red's house).

Cynthia. Cynthia the Sinnoh champion was supposed to be a crucial part to this story. She was going to be the one who would console Red after Touko's death, and then I would launch into his sequel which would consist of him overcoming his lover's death, and eventually falling for Cynthia. That didn't, and won't happen, for obvious reasons.

I dropped little hints throughout the story towards characters. I won't spoil them, but I will say, despite how obvious I felt it was, Trainer Joey showed up at one point ('my Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattata' Trainer Joey).

Hallie wasn't supposed to exist. I hate using OCs, but that one was kind of unavoidable. There's some more I would like to say about her, but it would be spoiling some ideas I have for *ahem* some future things.

N's depression in the middle of the story was meant to be a more fluent and exposed part of his character, but, I just never got around to adding to it. Good or bad, I don't know, but it worked out in the end.


ANNOUNCEMENTS YOU GUYS!

Yes, that's right, I'm finally telling you what you've been waiting for.

There WILL be a sequel about Touko overcoming Red's death (with the love interest to be revealed at a later time). I don't know when it will start, but it will be here eventually.

Also, the rewrite. That will come sometime in the future when I'm bored and tired of seeing this piece of crap story sitting on my page. Anywho, it'll be better next time.


Well you guys, it's been a lot of fun. Thanks for stickin' with me through this story, it means a whole lot more than you think. I hope you have an amazing, super fantastic, totally awesome, cool, fun day.

Love and best wishes- Twilit Lady of Majesty
