Wow.

Literally wow.

I could write 10,000 more words on how thankful I am of all the reviews and alerts and favorites I have- and still receive- for this story. I posted the first chapter in... April 2009? I think it was. I love HSM and was always a Troypay shipper (though Troyella is obviously adorable because Zanessa) but the trailer was kind of just something I messed around with because I loved the idea of Gabriella being the bad guy. I don't know. I just love the role reversal and the change of scenery that I brought to ITS and the different characterization. And I love that people responded to the way I changed the characters because I know it was risky making them look different and adding new characters. I also know I was horrendous at updating because my schedule was crazy and I am perpetually tired so it doesn't really held with the writing and keeping to a split schedule posting-wise. I honestly could never in a million years have asked for such a response to it. An extra thank you to the people who stuck with this from when I posted the trailer and that whole, like, half a year when I literally posted nothing in between chapters. And just the simple fact that people like the way I write astounds me.

There were a horrible amount of run-ons in that paragraph. Apologies. Anyway.

I know a lot of the people who review ITS write fanfic, too. And I know you'll understand when I say how great it feels when someone leaves you a good review of your hard work. If you could see my face any time I open an e-mail about a review or a favorite or even just a story alert, you would think I was crazy. I literally smile like an idiot. I've literally had to hide my face in class because I'll read a really good review and start smiling. And I am horrible at stopping myself from smiling so I'll end up weirding out the kid in the seat next to me wondering why I'm smiling so much at the accounting Power Points on the Smartboard. True story.

And I'm rambling, you don't care about my inability to contain emotion.

Or my accounting class.

So.

Here's a little information I'd like to share with you...

PS; I love you.

PPS; Did you think I'd actually leave the story on that note? I've got a sequel for you all, so I'd check in every once in a while... (;

PPPS; Lots of love to Annebell94 who's proofread my story more than I have

PPPPS; I just got my first two review e-mails as I was writing this and if you could see my face... I'm dying (troypay4eternity & asianluver14, I'm talking to you)
