Author's Note!
Sorry, guys. As a long-time reader myself, I know how hated Author Notes can be. However, as I put out the last chapter this morning, I feel that now is probably the best time to address a few things and answer a few small questions. Don't shoot me.
First of all, I want to discuss pairings. As I said after Chapter 3, I am indeed a Fiolee fan. However I am not actually biased toward one pairing over another. In this particular story, I will bring up many pairings! These include, but are definitely not limited to: Fiolee, Marcelee, Finn/Fionna, Finn/Bubblegum, Fionna/Gumball. I plan to make this a complicated process. Even I don't know which pairings will stick at the very end quite yet! The story summary thingamawhatsit says Finn and Fionna simply because I am not focusing yet on any single couple and I felt it fit right now because they are the main characters from Ooo and Aaa, which are both in this story.
Second, this is going to be a long, long story. I'm thinking minimum of 35-50 chapters. It's my first one, and I don't want to leave any stone unturned. I will soon be starting a small number of other stories to work on, and not just for Adventure Time, so I will be writing often and updating at least once or twice a week if not more. I have a certain standard for excellence that I want out of this particular story, so I will be spending more time on it than any other.
Also, the next two or three chapters may be quite short. They are mostly for the purpose of starting the main plot and getting some sup-plot introduced. Do not be discourage if they only hit around 500 words. It means I'm investing myself in the good stuff so you have more to read later on. Patience, young grasshoppers.
That's it for now. I'll get off my soapbox now. I don't mind if you didn't read this all. It's just here for those who may care. Thank you all for being such incredible readers! The response this story is getting has inspired me to keep publishing as often as my schedule allows.
