My Really Long Author's Note
To all my readers, new and old, this is for you.
I have counted up poll results. The winners are: Haley is pregnant (I think many of you already assumed that) and there will be a sequel. I have named the sequel Ten Years Hot. Ten Years Hot will take place five years after the last Chapter of Five Years. It will include basically everyone, and no one is really alone, I have found a perfect match for everyone. I have chosen carefully their children and everything about them, for the most part. Um, I have everything written up in my planning stage for my sequel, that's probably why its taking a little long to update, I'm planning the sequel. I have a visual of the wonderful 'Mini Tree Hill' where everyone is going to live. This neighborhood was pretty much specially designed for them, cause there is literally a basketball court in the very middle of the neighborhood (its more like a really wide street with houses on both sides). I can give you a head count on the current amount of children living in the neighborhood for Ten Years Hot. There is about 42 children in this neighborhood, ages ranging from (currently) 7 to -5. In Ten Years Hot, those ages will be converted to 12 to 0. We have a pretty big range, but no children fall under the ages 3 to 1 (8 to 6). The list of names is as follows (I'm allowed to say this, because you'll maybe only know a few, like Nate and Luke and Jenny and Vivian's kids, and that's about it).
Children:
7- Jenny, Tyler
6- Cassie, Sean, Lyla
5- Luke, Nate, Matt, Courtney
4- Ashley, Ricky
3-
2-
1-
0- James, Kyle, Linda, Rachel, Wesley
1- Sara, Alyssa, Farley
2- Lorena, Isabel, Greg, Jacki, Nick, Renee, Kelsey, Watson, Naomi, Philip
3- Wendy, Kevin, Andy, Tim, Delaney, Dani, Brendan
4- Chris, Sally, Mike, Katie, Oliver
5- Jake, Ryan
Some names can be deceiving, but I won't tell you which, but I have it all color-coordinated, but trust me, if I could give you color, I would, but I can't. Next thing, there's the issue of the agent and his wife. There is an agent and his wife living in the neighborhood. Neither of them have names, so basically this is the big naming contest, I want you to help me pick names for the agent and his wife. These people are maybe like five years older than our group. I would appreciate first and last name combos, but anything will do, just simply add the name in your review, or review and enclose the name, or whatever. All names will be looked at, and whichever suit's these people best will ultimately get the name. Please note: this contest type thing is given at both places I post my ficcy, and so if I didn't pick one from the board where you read this, it is probably because I chose one from the other. Another thing, you all already know the names of all the characters from Tree Hill, they will all be used in this story, so no repeats of those names, or any of the names I have given to the children. If you do, I will still read your entry, but it will be highly doubtful of winning, so give it some thought, and use a drop of creativity, I want to know what you think.
Another item on the agenda is yes indeed Haley is pregnant, but so are a couple other people, hence where I gave the children's names and ages, and obviously if you look under 0 there is more than one name listed. I will not reveal yet who else is pregnant, but you can go ahead and guess, or express your opinion on who you think it is.
The next chapter is not named yet, or even finished (Yeay Austyn). Okay, yea, but basically its about Nathan and Haley, lots of Naley, exploring their new house, the neighborhood, the area, the schools, everything. Then I think the next chapter will be wedding planning and finally the 25th chapter would be their wedding. So you can look forward to about three more chapters of this ficcy and then in a couple days to a week or so I will post the sequel, Ten Years Hot. I hope you all enjoy the rest of this ficcy, and continue on their journey in the sequel. I am telling you the name so many times right now so you can keep your eyes peeled for it when I put it up (after I actually write it).
One last thing, I was thinking about it and my timeline worked out pretty much perfectly the way I wanted it to. You see, this whole thing took place about the course of a year, of course that includes the whole basketball season, started in fall, then you play the regular season, then all the championships in about spring because that's when the season is over, then they've sorta moved into summer, so that's basically a year, who would have thought.
Okay, that's all, wow I wrote a lot, one and a half pages size 10 font in bold, times new roman, nice, lol.
That's All, Austyn's Out! I'll have my next chapter up soon, I promise.
