A/N: Yes, the dreaded author's note chapter… Well, it's not so bad though. This is just an announcement.
Next month, on Halloween, I'll be posting a special one-shot fan-fic that has nothing to do with this story. It will be a really long one, hopefully (I'm aiming for 5K-10K). Well, I'll be doing it in my spare time from now until then.
Here's the general premise:
There will be a Halloween Party at the Polar Star Dormitory.
Almost everyone will be in costumes.
By the end of the chapter, Sōma and some other character will get together (Rated T or less).
Now the problem is the timing of it. Obviously, Halloween is in Autumn. However, in the manga, there is the Autumn Elections (prepare for it during summer vacation, roughly a week between the quarter-finals and semi-finals and finals), Staigaire Event (takes place several days after the Autumn Elections), the Autumn Leaf Viewing (almost right after the Staigare Event) and the Moon Banquet Festival (two weeks after the Autumn Leaf Viewing). Halloween has to take place in-between these events.
So pretty much, I was wondering where you think Halloween should fall and your costume ideas for the students. I already have some ideas, but I'd love to hear yours. Depending on after what arc Halloween takes place will determine what characters may and may not show up.
Oh, and also, there's the girl that Sōma will be paired with. It could be anyone (provided that they had made an appearance in the manga before the day of Halloween). I'm open to anyone but Erina and Megumi because those two are the main possible pairings in the manga (or most likely, I should say).
Let me know your thoughts and ideas in reviews or PMs. Only review in this chapter section though, because I'll only be checking those. I'll be posting final decisions that I come up with in the end of chapter A/Ns as time goes on until Halloween.
Thanks for everything. Expect the new chapter for Crossing Boundaries during the weekend.
