19. SEQUEL ANNOUNCEMENT

SEQUEL ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi everybody, Sponge here! First of all I just wanted to thank you again for reading, reviewing, and favoriting Three To Get Ready. This installation went through a lot of last-minute changes as I was writing it, but I'm still pretty pleased with how it came out. Your support and kind words mean more to me than I can say, and I appreciate each and every one of you.

Now onto the announcement: the next (and final!) installment in this series will be called Four For The Road and the first chapter will drop NEXT WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6TH! It takes place immediately after the end of this story – like, an hour or two after the last scene. I don't think it'll end up being quite as *ahem* adult as the last two stories have been, so I believe this one will be able to get away with a T rating. However, there will be language and some romance as well as themes of violence and peril. Of course, main pairings will be Shelma and Fraphne, but you knew that.

A lot of reviewers including itsyagirlwithwritersblock, FredTrap, scoobysurfers, and iamacliche were super spot-on with their guesses in this story about the identity of the secret admirer(s) and I thought I'd try to keep up the mystery solving spirit in the finale. So intermittently, in the ending author's notes on some chapters, I'll share a clue to help you try to solve the mystery before the gang does! I've never implemented anything like this in any of my stories before, so I hope you all enjoy it! I'll also be posting the clues each week on Tumblr, so make sure to check out my blog there as well!

Unfortunately I am nowhere near ready to start fully posting this story yet because writing the threequel took a lot longer than I thought it would. But I really don't want to take a hiatus this time around – I want it to be seventeen weeks (or rather, sixteen weeks) of uninterrupted story. And because it's a summer road-trip story, I thought I should publish it during the summer! So check back on Wednesday, May 12th at or around 10pm for the second chapter of Four For The Road to drop, or add me to alerts if you haven't already. I'm so sorry for the long wait, but I think it'll be worth it! In the meantime, be sure to follow me on Tumblr (SpongeAddict) or Twitter (Sponge_Addict) if you feel so inclined for updates and peeks into my writing process. Thanks again for all your support!
