Jesus Christ it has been a while since I last touched this website. I'm shocked people still read this! I started writing this silly book back in 2015, it's odd to think that 7 years has passed since then, but here we are.

This fic was what lead me to becoming a published author. For privacy reasons, I will not say the book since I'd rather stay anonymous, but this was the start of many, many things. 

Since writing this, I've graduated from school, moved out, hit 20 years old and even got into university! Writing this was what lead me to the route I've taken, so I would just like to say thank you. To all my readers, past, present and future: sincerely, thank you so much for all the support and cheering me on to create something. It's strange to think that I wouldn't have got to where I am now without my love of writing, and creating this was the catalyst for that.

If you would like to know where I am now, I'm doing a Media and Communications course at university, I'm a YouTuber, Streamer and Video Editor and I still write all the time, more so personal things and ideas or things for YouTube. I love retro technology and I collect cassette and VHS tapes as well as love researching retro computers, TVs and games consoles. I have since come out as non binary and lesbian too!! A lot can change in 7 years, huh. It seems my tendancy to ramble is as prominent as ever however, that never seems to change.

And I think I've rambled enough, but I will leave you with one last message:

Never stop doing what you love no matter what anyone tells you. Don't try and be what people want you to be, be unapologetically you and be kind to yourself. That is the best version of yourself that you can be, take it from me - It took me far too long to realise that but I couldn't be happier and more comfortable with who I am now.

Thank you guys for everything, I hope you enjoy this fic as much as I enjoyed writing it!!
