TO EVERYONE READING THIS STORY...
I would firstly like to thank each and everyone of you! You, the readers are what writers like me and yourselves writer for... you give us the energy to keep going and the inspiration to try and push ourselves beyond any limits we have... So i am truly grateful that so many people are reading this story. I would also like to thank people for taking the time to review and let me know what you think... I love being able to hear what you guys think and hopefully be able to provide you all with something you want to continue reading.
All of my reviews have been amazing and I am so appreciative that you give me feed back. However, I have received a few about the last 2 chapters of this story (3 and 4), that appear to have some of my readers a bit on edge about my writing style and how I am choosing to lay the elements out in each chapter. I completely understand everything you guys are saying... and each review helps to try and define a way around the issues that are coming up. I know most of us in the #scandal family want VERMONT... and BABIES.. and Liv making JAM! I want that too! I REALLY REALLY REALLY DO! But I feel that if I just jump right in and give us some fluffy #Olitz that I am being unfaithful to the characters, storylines and the future that Shonda has given us to work with. I know this is just fan fiction and none of the confines matter as such, but for me.. i feel the need to build up to a satisfying ending and believe me that is the plan.
The main concern you guys are having is that I keep writing these massive CYRUS BEENE RANTS and by doing so I am painting our beloved President Grant as just some little bitch who doesn't have any power or isn't strong enough to stand up and be the most powerful man in the world. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GUYS FEEL THIS! But i wish to offer an explanation as to WHY I have chosen to do so and this is in no way a negative feeling towards any of your concerns. Thus far, I have written Cyrus ranting at the president, to feed into the eventuality of Fitz and Olivia talking/seeing each other and as the CYRUS RANT in the last chapter has done this, I feel there will be no further need for him to do any more ranting AS YET. Believe me when I say that Cyrus is gonna get what's coming to him! I feel like I have done you all a dis- service by making you feel I am writing Fitz as weak and not very presidential. I in no way intended to do this.
Hopefully you guys will continue to read the story, so that you can see there is INDEED a point to all of it. As I've said before, I write for you as well as myself and want to give you the story you all want.. So upon reading this I hope that you feel a little better towards the story and continue to read and tell me your thoughts. DO NOT DISTRESS FLUFFY OLITZ IS ON THE WAY!
I LOVE ALL OF OUR GLADIATORS AND SCANDAL FAMILY... :)
