Alvin and the Chipmunks II Chapter 25: Afternote, an alvin and the chipmunks fanfic

Alvin and the Chipmunks II

Chapter…hey, there's no more chapter numbers!This is an A/N! Sorry, no epilogue…

by hallhomestead

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this story (The Chipmunks, Chipettes, Dave, Miss. Miller, etc,). This story made NO profit.

A/N: This is my first Alvin and the Chipmunks fanfic (as a matter of fact, this is my first fanfic ever) and it is 100 percent new movie (the CGI one).

Shut up. Yes, I do realize it's been a week (and longer) since I've last updated, but I have excuses. Excuses that I won't bore you with.

Ok, one last thing before we really start off with this thing; there is no epilogue in THIS update. This is, unfortunately, just my Final A/N, and the epilogue will come in a later update (tomorrow or Tuesday). I wanted to update this before you all got tired of waiting for me to put the COMPLETE sign next to my story, and I didn't have time to write the Epilogue to go along with it (grrrrr…stupid play…grrrrr) but be expecting it today or tomorrow. Ok, that's it.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the final chapter of my (not so) little story that I have thrown together for you. Yeah, I know that there is a very long and intimating A/N after this introductory paragraph, but please, I encourage you to read it seeing as I spend a LOAD of time writing it and planning it out.

Here we go:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In November of 2007, I was looking for some good fanfics of Alvin and the Chipmunks to read, (I had been doing this for a couple weeks now) and by some fate of god, I hadn't come across yet. I had found other fanfic sites of course, but was looking for of a selection of stories. Then a friend gave me the URL to the A&tC section.

I was in heaven.

At the time, there were only about 60 odd stories (by the way, we've more than doubled that number recently; we've got about 140 stories up now), but before that, I had only read about a half dozen fanfics, so this was an amazing find. After reading around ten of the stories that were posted up here, a thought formed in my mind: What if I wrote a fanfic?

I quickly dismissed the thought. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to write, but I told myself that no-one read my stories and those that did would hate my story and flame it, so the idea disappeared from my head. Luckily for you guys, a few days later, my family went on a vacation to Virginia and spent four lonesome, empty, and boring days on a farm my Grandpa used to own.

As one could imagine, I had a lot of free time, and I spent most of that time touring the 50-odd acres that my dad technically owned. On this long walks, I thought…and thought and thought and thought. As a matter of fact, I thought so much, I began to think about ideas that I told myself were stupid and dreamt about how cool it would be if they worked.

First I thought about how cool it would be if I could get my hands on a hundred million dollars and buy a small country with it. Next I thought how freaking sweet it would be if I could get my dog to start talking and walking on two feet.

Then I thought about my 'stupid' fanfic idea.

As I thought on one of my many walks throughout the woods surrounding the tiny farmhouse my family was using as a vacation home, I began to think that writing a fanfic about Alvin and the Chipmunks wasn't such a bad idea after all.

As a matter of fact, in the state of total and utter boredom I was in at the time, it sounded like a downright awesome idea. For some reason, the thought of writing a fanfic suddenly sounded like a great idea, and I began to plan out the plot to my story…

Now, after you all are thoroughly bored by my long anecdote, let's review things here. Remember that story that I'm planning out in the paragraph above? Yeah, that's not the story your reading right now. You see, in November of 2007, the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks hadn't been released yet, and I hadn't even seen any of the advertisements for it yet. The story (ies) that I planned in Virginia not so long ago, are in fact the 3 stories that I'm writing after I'm done with this one, the cartoon based ones.

Ok, let's fast forward a month. I had gotten back from Virginia about 3 weeks ago, and hadn't even started my fanfic yet. I was totally busy doing a play at school, and planning for things I wanted to do this summer and I hadn't found the time.

Now, one of these days in December, I was sitting in my room, doing homework, and my mom burst into my room. I looked up at her and said quite plainly "What?" and she (also quite plainly mind you) said:

"We're going to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie wanna come?"

I looked at my mom dumbly. I had no idea there was a Chipmunk's movie coming out (I don't watch all that much TV), but I was thrilled. I blinked, looked up at my mom, and nodded my head vigorously.

To make a long story short, I returned home from the movie's with a determined look on my face. I was going to write my fanfic, and I was going to finish it, no matter how badly my grades suffered, or how angry my drama teacher got at me for skipping practices. I was going to do this thing.

I debated over writing my cartoon stories that I came up with over the summer first, or coming up with an idea for the new movie and writing about that, and my conforming side won over. Writing about the CGI Chipmunks while they were popular would give me some fans that might read my following cartoon stories. I thought that I would write a 10 chapter story, and be done with it.

Boy was I wrong.

After I had written the first chapter and posted it (I still think it is horrible, by the way) the reviews started as trickle and soon turned into a flood, reaching a climax of 9 reviews for chapter 6 and a total of 274 hits (as of 4/4/08).

I was dumbfounded. I thought that this would be my crappy first story that would be the groundwork for my more skilled works in the future, but that all changed after I reached chapter 10. I was about to leave on a high note, and end the story there, but then one day as I was taking a shower, I thought to myself, "There is so much more of this story that I can tell," I got out of the shower and went downstairs (after putting some clothes on of course! : P) and began to write down ideas for chapters 11-20.

The rest is history. You know the story, and if you really want to get the full picture of my ups and downs in writing this thing, then reread my A/Ns. Two more things: the numbers and the thanks.

First, the numbers: (as of 4/6/08, obviously not including this chapter and the epilogue)

Total:

That was sure thrilling, huh guys? (That's called 'sarcasm' kids!) I thought that there might be a chance that someone would find that sorta interesting.

Now onto the thanks:

Diana26.5: You were my first reviewer, and you inspired me to keep going on with my story. One of my fav reviewers too.

Total Reviews: 24 (yup, that's all of 'em!)

Inuyasha-loves-Kagome: You reviewed all my chapters up to like, 18ish. One of my earliest and fav reviewers.

Total Reviews: sigh look above.

DiceRox09: How do you do it? Seriously, on every single Chipmunk fanfic that I've ever read, you have ALWAYS left a review. That's truly amazing, and I think you deserve a reward.

Total Reviews: 21 (I may have counted wrong).

Chipmunklover(s): Another one of my favorite reviewers, I think that my promising to review every chapter of your story in exchange for reviewing mine was a good plan. Not as many reviews, but the ones you gave me were always VERY long and fun to read.

Total Reviews: 14

Mpkio2: Didn't think I was going to put you in, did ya? Mpkio2 here (as I'm constantly reminded) reviewed EVERY chapter. Good job!

Reviews: Geez! Can't you read?

I know a lot more of you reviewed and I want to thank you as well, but if I'm going to publish this in a reasonable amount of time, I'm going to have to sum it up.

Thanks to: Lord Narf, rsh13, CrazyCartoonGirl, clemsonroxs23X18, Chaipmunkfan (ha-ha! Wrong spelling dude!), Nicend, NikChick11, ilovedachipmunks, Charismaticbreeze, Doll Girl, I'm a PureEvil, Brittany Seville formely GOA, BananaRamama, Soulreaper46, Grave Bells, and finally hallhomestead (yes, I did actually review my own story…once)

Sorry I didn't put the amount of reviews for each person, but the sheer amount of reviews that I got would make that pretty impractical.

Finally! Done! Onto the final chapter of Alvin and the Chipmunks II (I will finish it soon don't worry). But first, I just want to thank each and every person that ever read this story, because without you, I would have ended this story at chapter one. You guys are what make it happen.

Seriously, thank you.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Again, sorry that I didn't have the time to type up the epilogue, but I honestly am being beaten for my time, so…suck it up.

Ok people, I still expect a decent amount of reviews, or…or I'll…cry! Yeah, that's it! I'll burst into tears and you guys will feel really bad! Do you want that on your conscience? I hope not.

Cya!
