A/N:
hello everyone, extremely long time no see. hope you're all doing alright with covid19 and the quarantine.
I want to start by saying that I will be finishing this story. I know most of you didn't expect that, as I have abandoned it almost a full decade ago. truthfully, I had completely forgotten about it until the other night when I had a Style related dream and decided to check if this was still here.
it was strange rereading it. I felt like I was reading someone else's words; someone else's entirely enrapturing words. and for some reason, my own writing both comforted me and made me proud of myself. I know that's a strange thing to feel about a fanfic, and truth be told I am way way way too old by now to be here. I was too old for this 9 years ago when I almost finished the story. but I don't care. I found myself enormously frustrated at the fact that this story wasn't finished, so I'm going to finish it for myself.
I will be spending the next week combing through the story and fixing a few errors which I have found in this latest reread before continuing to write. the biggest change that is going to happen is that I will be eliminating Butters from the story. I know the Bunny fans will be disappointed, angry and maybe some of you will feel betrayed by this. but I have to confess something: I never shipped Kenny with Butters a single day in my life. I ship Kenny with my own OC, Aria Parry ... but I was pressured by many not to include her, insulted and told she was a Mary Sue, which caused me to delete a 10 chapter story that I put my heart and soul into. I will never be able to get it back. I was also borderline bullied by Bunny fans to make Kenny's part of the story include him when I changed it in the very early chapters because I wasn't comfortable writing that ship. so, I rewrote the story and I complied, idk why. maybe because I wanted to be cool. but it broke my heart to read my own words illustrating something I didn't believe in. therefore, I will make the necessary changes for me to be proud of and enjoy my own story. Tweek and Craig will be featured as the canonical couple they are, and Kenny will be with my Aria. I hope you all like her. I will also be finally writing my KennyxAria story once and for all, when I finish this one.
ultimately, I am finishing this for myself. I don't want to reread my own work in another 9 years and find once again that the ending is just out of reach and the characters are doing things I don't want to read about them doing. the story was almost finished when I abandoned it, so the last few chapters will be coming soon, I promise. I hope you all enjoy the ending and thank you for enjoying my writing.
see you all soon, stay safe, wash your hands, and ship Style ~
