~ Testing testing~ Hello? Is this thing on? Oh, okay, I can hear my own reverb….reverb….reverb. Awkward.
Uhh...ahem. Right so, off to it then.
Hello dearest reader and welcome to the chapter that's solely dedicated to being the author's shoddy apology.
-A distant "You suck, dude!" can be heard at the back of the stadium-
Yeah thanks, Captain Obvious. I know. I know this very well and have thought about it for quite a while.
I really.
Do.
Suck.
And the fact that I'm even making this just cements the fact that I am absolute trash.
But that's beside the point! I wanted to say I'm sorry to all the people out there who read We Will Always Be Enemies only for it to come to a dead stop right before it ends. Talk about a buzzkill. I haven't updated since what...April? Good god time goes by fast.
The next chapter is in the works! It's at about 4,000 words actually. So that's the good news. The bad news is that there's still a lot more I need to cover before concluding it. Oh yeah, it's one of THOSE chapters. And that's not even counting an epilogue I desperately want to include before claiming this story is complete.
Why has it taken so long? Well...honestly I many reasons I could sing back to you, but at the end of the day it's pretty much inexcusable. I could blame it on school, or my social life, or my job, or my other projects that dictate my time, but I know there are people with heavier responsibilities who keep themselves organized better than I do. I won't try to justify anything, and will instead just say sorry, and sorry again.
That said, I have gotten a review from an anonymous somebody telling me I'm going to die if I don't update the story.
...Yeah uh, shut up. You're lucky I'm not in some deep depression or something. You really can't just go throwing that shit around. Don't be a brat.
Ignoring that person, all the other reviews since the last chapter have been overwhelmingly positive and serve as great inspiration to keep writing. I love all of you to death, and wouldn't have gotten this far if it weren't for your politeness and patience. I scroll through them and read each one over and over again, and they never fail to make me smile.
Alright alright, now back to important things. Assuming there are people out there who still care about the fate of We Will Always Be Enemies, never fear! The new (and final) chapter should be coming out before the year is over! In fact, it will probably be updated on the 31st if I can help it, to correlate with the in-universe's date. New Year's Eve.
I'm really excited to finish this story. There are things I wish I had changed or omitted completely, but never the less I love it to death and wouldn't have it any other way. It's been ongoing for quite a long time. I started it while I was in high school and now I'm in college! It may not seem like a huge deal to some, but it really does feel like I've grown with this story, as well as become a better writer, and all of you who have been reading got to go along on the adventure with me. I want to thank every single one of you, whether you've reviewed or not. The story has been read by so many people all over the world, and it's almost at 400 reviews! I would have NEVER in my wildest dreams imagined that my first submission on this website would get so popular.
So once again, thank you all very much, and I hope to hear from you in the future. It is not your obligation to review this chapter. You'd be more inclined to PM me on your thoughts. I welcome PMs with open arms, especially since I wish to delete this chapter later if at all possible.
I'll see you at the next chapter! Until then!
