Hello Everyone!
So, you might be wondering from the chapter title that... "Gosh! The guy is going to say something sad!"
But, today is actually a really special day for me! Today marks the one year anniversary of this story. It might be weird to say this, Power Couple is the second Karry story that has been ongoing for over an year! (The first one is Karry Universe, obviously! xD)
This whole year of writing Power Couple has been an amazing and revealing experience! 100+ Followers and Favourites and we are only a few shy of hitting hundred Reviews in just 23 story chapters! That is an insane response for a guy who never felt he might able to get one reader. That's what this story has given me.
I am literally out of words to say for how I am feeling at this moment. I began this story to escape from one thing... Loneliness. And right now, every singe one of your 114 are all part of my life, irreversibly. That is what makes our relationship special and I am glad we were able to maintain it for a whole year!
Now, I want to take this day to thank all those wonderful people that have been a huge help with this story. The first one... I hate to admit, is Speedforce1229. Now, I love his writing and I do follow all his works. But, if I am being honest, Power Couple is heavily inspired from Call Me Kara! The way the story was written, the way the characters behaved, all the traits on the story, everything is inspired from Call Me Kara. I still vividly remember the time when I sent him a message, too awkward to talk to random people on the internet, let alone a quite famous writer, requesting him to have a look in my first chapter. And Speedforce being the immense sport, gave me so much advice and encouragement to proceed with the story. And I can't think of a more fitting situation to thank him.
The second persons would be CharmedMillie and Terrence Sigma. Call Me Kara might have been my inspiration, but Karry Universe was and is the driving force for my writing. Millie probably might not but I sent her a message right after the first chapter with the same message, to have a look at my story. And she did have the look, giving me lot of input on how to write and what would be working for the story. It was her idea to get a Beta. A decision that had been such a life changing experience. And even after that, those two have bared with me for countless discussion of stuff. Varying from topics such as the story structure of Karry Universe to the ending of How I Met Your Mother! That was the level of support they have given me. Bearing with me for all the weird and lengthy conversations. And in a weird sense, we barely agree on one or two topics, but all I have for the two is immense respect. More important to mention how helpful they were for Justice Academy, with discussing every random weird idea I come up with and pointing out where I can make changes. And that's just scratching the surface... Honestly, I can never stop thanking you two for all the help you guys have done for me.
Also, there is another hugely important person that frankly deserves all the credit I get for this story... MarvelDC31, my first ever beta. She was an extremely supportive person, helping me with the story to a really amazing extent, making the story much better than what I could ever think of. Without her, this story would have probably never reached this milestone. Thank you so much for this, MarvelDC... I am hoping you are doing good.
And finally, the most important of all, you guys! The amazing and awesome readers. Each and every single one of you made my writing what it is today. I have few names that I would like to mention. Call Me Miles, NykBaller, Death Racer, LegancyZ, Stephany Zor-El, Jenifer Cullen, MadHatter, selvincarillio, Narutoske and many more. There are frankly a lot of people that have been my support system throughout this journey to 365 days of Power Couple and frankly, without these readers, I would have never been motivated to go this far.
Looking on to the future, I am super excited for Injustice, exploring the life of Laurel Allen and what adventures and lesson this new timeline is going to give Barry and Kara, and in extension, myself...
With the end, I am once again, thanking every single one of you out there who have stood by my writing, taking me to keep going on for a whole year. Hopefully, the next year on the same day, the story would still be going, better and better than it is. And possibly, the more of you would be out there experience my world of Power Couple. Do leave a review on what you felt about he whole year, what your favourites were, what you wish to be changed, what you want to see going ahead, what type of stuff you are interested in, basically anything that you feel like telling me... I am always yours for all the love you all have given me.
Until Next Time!
Sincerely, Akiatta...
