SERIOUSLY YOU BETTER READ THIS

I KNOW IF YOU DO OR DONT I CAN SEE THIS STUFF

NO SERIOUSLY YOU BETTER FUCKING READ THIS IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO WRITE AND ITS SUPER IMPORTNAT

ITS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT

I CANT EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ANYMORE. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. JUST PLEASE READ

Hi, everyone! Spiziri here. I have A LOT of really important things to say now! I know you guys don't read this stuff, but please do this time! It is a lot, but please bear with me and read the whole thing! I will drone on and on, but its really important! I REALLY REALLY WANT THIS TO BE READ MORE THAN ANYTHING BECAUSE I NEED YOU BEAUTIFUL READERS.

First of all, wow. I never imagined in my life that this story would be so popular. I'm serious. I had no idea. So, thank you everyone for supporting me, Yuki, and this whole story. It means the world to me. Thanks for putting up with us, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have writing it for you.

Second of all, I want to say that this story will never be officially "completed." I do not want this story to end. I'm reaching out to everyone. I am taking requests for little drabbles for this story. That's right! I will take any request and I will fulfill it to the best of my ability! No matter how crazy the request is, I will write it! Do you want to see the host club fighting some titans? Yuki and Haruhi actually become Pretty Cure? Or I elaborate on Yuki's nightmare of wishing to be a Puella Magi and then ending up becoming a witch? Perhaps you don't want to see a crossover or some crazy AU, but simply a wedding? Births? Deaths? Dates? Fights? What do you want me to write for you in regards to the characters of Sunshine Kiss? I don't care how ridiculous it is. I. Will. Write. It.

As for requesting goes, I'd like to ask you guys to be as specific as possible so I can write it perfectly for you, especially if you want it during college after Yuki has left in high school or if you want it when they're all in high school together. Just try to be specific with the time period with an AU drabble. What roles would you like for me to give each character? If you want a drabble where the host club is in the story of Cinderella, as some crazy example, would you want Haruhi to be Cinderella? That's just an example. But I'll write that too if you want. Hell, just be as specific as possible with any request, crazy AU or not, and even specify if you don't care about where I take that drabble and all that jazz.

Also for requesting, you can send me a request through posting a review on this story or sending me a PM. I am also throwing out there my Tumblr username, limiti-esterni. Tumblr and fanfiction are basically my life. So, if you'd like to remain as anonymous as possible, send limiti-esterni an ask on Tumblr. I'm begging you guys! I'm giving you all this information, so please use it and give me requests!

Depending on the time period given to me as I mentioned above, most of drabbles will be an epilogue to the whole story. I'm also asking all of you lovely people on your thoughts whether or not if I should create a separate "story" here on fanfiction for solely the drabbles, but my fear is that no one will read it. More than likely, they will remain as an epilogue in no particular order. At the start of every drabble, I will specify when it takes place because it will be posted in the order I have received them. If it takes place during high school, I will probably post it as a chapter before part 2.

This-is-really-officially-third of all, is that I am announcing that I am rewriting this story. Let me explain why.

I started writing this story in like 7th or 8th grade. I wrote this story for fun and randomness and I really never expected a love story to come out, but when it did, I'm extremely pleased. It is years later, and I believe that I have improved in my writing. There are parts of this story I am not proud of at all. I'm not changing much, just fixing plot holes, adding or removing certain chapters, and just making sure that everything is written well, understandable, and well explained.

My goal is also to improve some minor character development. What I mean by that is, like, I feel like I've made Aoi Hoshizora, Daichi, Michio, Akane Ikeda (Yuki's mom), and Yoshio Ohtori look like the bad guys. There really isn't an antagonist. They're flawed, but I want to give them some more good points and show more development of their relationships with Yuki. I also want to give more development to some of the minor characters of Ouran, especially Yuuichi, Fuyumi, and Akito. If there's anyone specifically that you would like to see more developed as a character and their relationship to Yuki, let me know and I'll do my best!

I'm also rewriting the story because, like, I guess you could call them my "senpai," let me down, you could say. My "senpai" has shown their true colors to me. They insulted me and have hurt me, acting incredibly arrogant and stuck-up and looking down upon me. So I have this new fuel to write this story as best as I can to show them up and prove that I am more than the "pathetic little girl" they have viewed me as and prove that I am equal. That's just the really personal reason why I'm rewriting. Like, I'm not just doing it for them though! I'm really ashamed of some parts in the story and I really want to fix all the bad parts!

Not only will I be taking requests, but I will also be asking (actually, begging) for criticism. I take all kinds of criticism and I only want to make a story that everyone can enjoy. However, I am slightly picky. I tend to dislike plot critiques because I know what parts are good and what are bad and which parts to just get rid of completely. However, regarding plot, you can critique that maybe I should hint more romantic relationships between people. Perhaps you think that I add more to build up Yuki and Kyoya's relationship before the romance really comes out? Let me know! Maybe you think that Yuki hasn't shown her developing relationships with everyone.

Also, I am picky in regards to characters. Maybe because she's my OC and main character, but I love Yuki and I don't want to change her. But, my biggest plead is that you let me know if any of the original characters belonging to Bisco Hatori are OOC. If you think they should've acted differently in a situation, please, please, please, please let me know! And even better, tell me how to fix it! And with Yuki, please tell me if she's unrelatable. I know it's Ouran and anime, but I want Yuki to be somewhat relatable. Is she too perfect? Or is she too dark? Now, what I mean by "too dark" is that there are some OCs in fanfictions that I have read that have characters that just have too much dark and messed up back stories that try to make you pity them, but it ends up being downright annoying because its too much and unrealistic. I sound heartless, but remember, I think I'm a sadist anyway with the way I treat Yuki. I hope you guys are understanding what I mean here. Yuki is the main character of this fanfiction. But I don't want it to be solely OCs only that outshines and completely disregards the rest of the main characters. This fanfiction is about mostly Yuki and Kyoya, but I want to make everyone in the Ouran universe as involved as possible, understand?

Which brings me to also mention that in this rewrite, my goal is to make it more manga-based than anime-based for lots of reasons I won't bore you with. But I'll also try to include other characters like Renge and Nekozawa. I've tried and hoped that they will be more involved as I wrote this, but that never happened. I will also want to give Yuki a better, or deeper, relationship with Hunny and Mori because, in my opinion, have the weakest relationship with her. Hunny and Mori are arguably the least developed main characters in the Ouran universe, in my opinion. I'm going to try to give them the most canon backgrounds as possible. Let me know if you think what I come up for them would or wouldn't be canon. I want to make Emily more involved and maybe include more American OCs for many reasons.

You can really critique me on anything. The more critical, the more specific, the more given ways in how to fix it, the better. Or, you can simply give me encouragement. That is much appreciated. Just a simple, "you're doing great!" means the world to me. It's the little things that make my day. Just talk to me. I don't mind, really. You could say things like, "Kyoya and Yuki make a really great couple!" Or you could tell me, "I don't think Yuki and Kyoya are a good couple." If that is the case, it'll make me really curious. If you don't like them as a couple, who would you like to see as a couple? You can contact me with the contact information stated above.

My plan for rewriting this story is to do it, and then upload it all at once. I will make a note to all you "veterans," or whatever you would like to call yourselves, on the first chapter that this story has been rewritten.

I'm also half-tempted to create a Tumblr blog for the OCs of Sunshine Kiss because I love ask/RP blogs and I love Tumblr. I'm deciding against it, though. Mostly because there's so many freaking Ouran OCs. And I can't draw for my life, so my muses will end up faceless. And I doubt any one would actually talk/RP with Yuki. Does anyone want to draw Yuki for me, by the way? :3

I hope you guys are catching on that most of the story, primarily the second part, is written like an actually novel with an anime/manga vibe to it. Like, I even gave it a real theme and all that story analysis. I know it's probably too much and I shouldn't have done all that, but I did. I'm a very analytical reader so this is what happens. Like the theme is just reality, really. Like reality can be fun and happy and crazy, but it can also be very sad and cold and painful.

At the same time, I also wrote it for fun. So it's not written in any particular order. It's a bunch if random drabbles really. I don't expect you to read all of these chapters. It's for fun. I think you can read it any order of your choosing.

Okay, I have to ask this. I'm dying to know what you guys are thinking, but these are my two questions, almost a test to see who actually read this whole damn thing! Anyway, do you guys think that Yuki was justified in her actions when she left Japan in high school? And I'm also begging you guys to answer this. I don't like the host type I gave Yuki. If you were to give Yuki a "host type" what would she be? If there's a common agreement, I'll probably change her host type to that in the story when I rewrite it!

I think that's everything I wanted to cover... I might edit this announcement as time goes on. But guys, I'm seriously begging you to talk to me! I'm lonely! I have no life! Please, I'm dying to hear what you guys think about this story! It's driving me nuts! And please give me stuff to do! I love requests!

Anyway, thank you everyone. Thanks for sticking with me through this crappy story and helping me grow as a writer. I really appreciate your support. I probably would've given up this story a long time ago if it wasn't for your encouragement. But your support and encouragement has meant the world to me. So, thank you, everyone.
