Wow, 3 months, 14 chapters (136 pages) and 270 reviews later we're finally here. :)
Writing Colgate Soulmate was a great experience and I enjoyed it almost as much as my first story, my baby: The Fast and the Furious. ;) I don't really know where I got the idea for CS. I always wanted to write a story where Haley was already the rock star and how it would affect her and all. The whole Tim-Haley relationship is based on my relationship with my own brother so there's some art imitating life for ya. ;)
The title was not something I came up with myself. Colgate Soulmate is a song by a Finnish rapper. When I was starting to write this story and hadn't come up with the title yet, I was also totally obsessed with the song so I decided to use it as the title. After listening to the song about 50 times, I still didn't know what the hell the rapper meant by 'Colgate'. I doubted he meant the tooth paste. I thought I'd figure out the meaning of Colgate by the end of the story but since I didn't, I just came up with the meaning myself. :)
To the most important issue: your reviews. If I had the time and energy I would thank everyone who reviewed personally. Your reviews were so kind and supportive; so much better than I ever expected. They were reason why I kept writing and posting. Whenever I had a bad day, I would just check my e-mail and instantly feel so much better. They're my very own Prozac. ;) Kidding… So, big thanks to everyone who reviewed.
And about the future… No, like with The Fast and the Furious there will be no sequel to Colgate Soulmate but I've already started to write my next Naley story. I'm gonna write few more chapters and see where it's heading before deciding if I'm gonna keep it and post it. I most likely will cause I'm really excited about it. :) I don't know the title yet but it's probably gonna have something to do with poker. Just a lil' hint for you. ;)
Anyways, please leave your final review of the story. What was good? What was bad? What would you change? Constructive criticism is always good. :)
You guys are awesome! Thanks again for ALL the reviews, they were the best. I thank you with all my heart. :)
Kiitos.
