Author's Note
So the epilogue for I Want You To Be is mostly written. But I'm starting to feel really sad about posting it. So I decided to take a moment to reach out to my readers. This story kind of followed it's own course, and didn't really hit all of the events I had in my mind for our boys. I feel like a lot of the potential problems set up in the story weren't really resolved, or addressed in the end at all, but I'm somewhat reticent to say that was a mistake or poor planning on my part.
In this universe, the school year ends with the boys still in their honeymoon phase. I felt like trying to bring everything that was hinted at in the story to fruition would cheapen it somehow, creating drama just for the sake of drama. And Blaine just kept giving me those puppy dog eyes in my head, saying, "but we're so cute, please just let me finally be happy."
And who am I to say no to Blaine's puppy dog eyes?
But what I will say is this. If there is anything that the story kind of hinted at that doesn't feel resolved to you and you would really like to see it at least mentioned in the epilogue, please let me know. I'm planning on posting the epilogue in a couple of days to give people time to come to with with requests. I'm totally open to suggestions of what to focus on in this verse in the future as well.
One other thing I will say is this. I apologize for the R rating that never became necessary. I was originally planning on have some incredibly vague sexy time things going on, and I tried really hard to make it work for the epilogue, but even when I tried to be vague I just succeeded in making myself increasingly uncomfortable until I had to nix the whole plan. But if I do write a sequel (which is highly likely), sex is probably going to be a factor. So if anyone would like to be my sexy time guru and or beta PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. I am horribly uncomfortable about the whole thing, but Blaine is still in my head with those puppy dog eyes telling me that he really wants to get laid. So if I managed to suck you in with the R rating and you are currently cursing my name and throwing things at your computer because you are so distraught at the realization that the epilogue is going to be as sappy and pg as the rest of the story ... well ... lets just pretend that was my evil plan all along, shall we?
Again, thank you all for sticking with me from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to your support the writing bug has me firmly in its grasp (mixed metaphor much?) and considering that I am currently unemployed I'm planning on writing a lot more in the near future. I hope to hear from all of you lovely people soon. :)
