Man, it feels like a long time since I've posted anything. Especially since I've been busy with the college life. Which is actually not all that bad. I thought it was going to be worse. 

Then again, I just finished my first semester. Bet that the road before me is only going to get more difficult from here on out.

Anyways, enough about me. How have you been? Have you passed your first semester of school? Did you get good grades? Meet new people? Started eating your family? No? Oh, okay then.

Well first off, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas (oh if you don't celebrate Christmas, then Happy Holidays)!! Hope your day was merry and bright!! Did you get the gifts that you wanted? Were there goodies in your stockings? Or did you get coal because you were naughty this year? Did you guys do any holiday traditions like bake cookies or something holiday-y? I saw The Greatest Showman with the family this afternoon and I thought it was really good! All the singing and the dancing, plus Hugh Jackman! *makes dreamy-eyed expression*

Secondly, I wanted to make a post about something else. RotD just reached 17k views!! That's incredible guys!! It seems like only a little while ago that I had first published that story and then decided to make some edits to it. Has it really only been two years ago that I uploaded the first chapter to Rise of the Demigods? Now, I have a sequel up, which received 1k views, and I'm planning on a threequel soon (still not sure how I want to plan it out, so bear with me). I know I didn't say anything about RotD reaching 16k and I'm sorry, but I was just trying to survive college at the moment.

I'm just astonished that that many people would want to read my story. I never thought that in my wildest dreams 50 people would read my little wannabe story, much less 17k people. That...that is just something that is leaving me speechless. Thank you so much for reading my stories and putting up with me taking so long to upload it. There were times when I felt like no one was going to read the first one, but I knew that I wanted the story to continue no matter how many people read Rise of the Demigods. So, I'm thanking every one of you out there who reads this little Author's Note and the ones before this. It means so much to me that you guys read my content. And who knows. Maybe I'll upload RotD and SD to Fanfiction. I already uploaded my two one-shots up there. I'm not leaving, in case you got the wrong idea, I'm just...spreading my work around.

That is, I'll upload RotD and SD whenever I get around to it. So not today. Or tomorrow. Maybe not even next week. But I'll try to upload to FF whenever I can.

So, with that being said, I'll be thinking of ideas for the threequel to the Rise of the Demigods trilogy. I'm not sure how I want things to happen, but I have something in mind.

Anyways, hope you all have a Merry little Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Until next time, my readers!

P.S. if you guys want to see who I am on FF, I go by PercyJacksonWinchester. I would've gone by Percy_Jackson17, but that name was already taken. *glares at wall*. Oh well. But yeah, hit me up if you go on Fanfiction.net, or just suggest stories to me via Wattpad that you think I might enjoy. Okay, now I'll let you guys go. Bye!
