Author's Last Notes: So, I wanted to say a few things on finale of We're Best Friends...
1.) A sequel is in the works, under the name "You're My Path" with a better structured story, and the first chapter shall be up by early next week. Just finishing a few touches to the prologue. :)
2.) Thank you to all who have read my story, whether you liked it or not, you still took the time out of you busy lives to read it, so I appreciate that greatly! Love you all and hope you will read the sequel!
3.) I know the end of this was very abrupt, and there are a lot of unanswered questions, but all will be explained in chapter one of You're My Path.
4.) I noticed that I lost a large portion of my fan base on this story around the time Gwen gained her powers. Sigh. I know, I know, don't think of the few who hate, think of the few who love it, but really? I'm a big fan of strong female characters, and Gwen Stacy is exactly that! I love Spidey-Gwen. I love the fluff that can be written between her and Spidey, unique upside down kisses or swinging around and fighting crime together. It's so cool to have those interactions!
In fact, I think that adding Spidey-Gwen to the TASM films would've saved them! The problem with adding so many villains to one film is they lack development, and are all going after one guy! In We're Best Friends, I had Kraven change his views towards Spiderman being his hardest hunt, as Gwen challenged him further. His and her rivalry was unique, and I think it gave the story a sub plot that wasn't too distracting, and helped develop both the characters involved. I'm thinking aloud and am probably wrong, but oh well haha. Tell me if you felt I did something right there!
5.) On final note, here's a brief synopsis of what to expect story wise from You're My Path:
"There's no such thing as a happy ending, if there was, then life wouldn't end with death." - Mysterio.
Peter and Gwen are at a crossroads in their lives. A year after the events of We're Best Friends, the city is fueling the fire of hatred to the hero and heroine, as they reflect on the anniversary of the Goblin's terrorist attack on Manhattan, killing hundreds with an airborne pathogen that Spider-man and Spider woman accidentally launched.
With Oscorp now handing out Peter's blood as a medicine, both Gwen and Peter are feeling a wedge drive between them. On one side, Peter knows that Oscorp is up to something and he wants his blood out of their hands. On the other hand, Gwen sees the good the medicine is doing, whether it's Peter's blood or not. It's saving more people that Spiderman and Spiderwoman are!
To make matters worse for the vigilante pair, Alistair Smythe's first robotic police force of Spider-Slayers now patrol the streets in partnership with the NYPD, out to arrest or kill the vigilantes. The maniacal Mysterio steps into center stage, and Spider-Gwen's biggest fan, Max Dillon, befalls a electrifying accident that augments him forever.
The Legend ends, Next week.
So guys, that wraps up We're Best Friends. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I liked writing it, and I hope I see you all on You're My Path! I've said it so many times, but I love you guys. Stay awesome and I'll be seeing you all very, very soon!
You're the best fans anyone can ever ask for, I mean that. Love ya! - Dave
