Dear readers,
This is a preliminary author's note to come just before the ending. It was originally supposed to be posted today but I'm taking a really good look at it so the ending can at least be everything it was hyped up to be. I do not want to disappoint in the slightest. So, I am taking a few days to refine and edit the ending and the Epilogue. I know this may annoy some, but let's face it, this book has been filled with mistakes that readers have pointed out (I am really sorry about that, by the way). Lycah came back from the dead, Riley was dating Albus, and most recently, Lycah and Laura together showed up. We don't wan that kind of thing happening again. The ending is something that should generally be enoyed and not marred by a clumsy mistake on my part.
Since they are not being posted right now, I'll take some time to explain what it will be like. The next chapter is going to lead straight up to the Epilogue. It'll basically finish Albus' story. The Epilogue, then, will solidify what was established, basically to show how our survivors are doing. For those who'd like help, with the Epilogue is a companion guide that will basically detail in sections how each and every character is getting on after the war. This way, for those who choose to read this final chapter, the Epilogue, and the optional guide will know: How each survivor is doing, where they ended up, who got with who, and so on and so forth. It will detail a relationship chart, who got with who and has what kids and their names and everything. No question will be left unchecked.
Speaking of questions, along with these upcoming three chapters, there will come one final Author's Note. This one will answer every single question I was ever asked about anything in a review. Now, I don't have an extensive memory of PMs so questions asked by those may not necessarily be answered unless I happen to remember them. Also, questions asked in Books 4-6 that have since been answered may also not be dealt with since the answer is clear within the story itself. Basically, I am answering questions whose answers may not be clear, or questions I think need more of an answer than the series already provides. We're talking really detailed questions here, and I'll be taking this time to make sure I'm not missing any. That said, if there is ANY question you have that you fear may not be answered, shoot now.
At the very end of the FAQ note, there will be a message from me. While some questions may not be looked at, while some people may skip some because they already know the answer, I do ask everyone to read the last note from me as it addresses everyone. The next update will be the last. Is it the end? Eh… I'll still be writing the Visions of the Past every now and then so that will remain but it'll be irregular.
Thank you for all your support and readership and feedback,
Yours truly,
Colin Creevey (Andy)
