Congratulations! You've made it to the end of The Path of Time!

Now prepare yourselves. I'm about to get real with you guys. This is going to be a very long and deep author note.

This has been the hardest story for me to write in a very long time. It's been hard because writing an original story was just something I never thought I would do in this series. Despite that, I loved writing it as I hope you have reading it. After spending months enslaving over chapters, pulling all-nighters, and having to physically force myself to sit in front of my keyboard and write when I had little motivation to do so near the end, I'm glad this story has finally been completed.

It was such an incredibly slow process to get this whole thing out to you guys, and I'm so sorry that it has taken as long as it has to get out. The longer the book went on, the more I began to feel this story was lacking in quality; I felt this was getting worse as well. I wasn't as confident writing this book, which is something I've never experienced before. In the beginning, I thought it would be a good idea to write this original story in preparation for Civil War so you guys wouldn't have to wait for me to write one when the movie was released. I also wanted to write it so you could get more of an insight into Andi's backstory. I got halfway through writing this book...and began to think that it was a mistake. It was hard. It was hard because I didn't know where this was going to go, which is painful for a planner like me. I began to give up near the end, and that's why there was this ridiculous gap of a few months during the last few uploads. But I refused to give up. I refused to give you half a story with no ending. You deserved a completed story. You deserved a great story. And I've tried my very best to give you that story.

You've all been so patient with me, waiting week after week, a huge few months gap, with no update and then swarming to one when it arrives. I can't apologise enough for my lack of organisation with this story. I could've done better. I could've written something better. I'm not especially happy with how it turned out. Despite this, I enjoyed writing it all the same. I am so thankful that so many of you stuck around to see this story through. If I were in your shoes, I would not have, but most to all of you have and I can't thank you enough for that.

Over the last year and eleven months, I've managed to create a trilogy of stories in an already established, magnificent universe. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that three books — two based on four movies and an original — would garner as much attention as it has. I mean, Out of Time is on its way to 400K reads! Holy crap! You guys are fantastic for getting it there! Never in my wildest dreams would I think that I would gain such a loyal fan base as I have, and for that I thank every single one of you. You've left me such wonderful comments and a few have even given me amazing fan art which is absolutely beautiful.

I know, I know, I've pretty much repeated all this at the end of every one of my stories, but this needs to be repeated ❤❤❤

Before I wrap this up, there's a few things I'd like to add:

⏳ I'd like to thank miss--audrey and danielle_specter for making the beautiful fan art spread throughout the chapters. I adore them greatly, girls! I've never had someone do fan art for me before and I'm not afraid to admit that I teared up a bit when you sent them to me, so the amazing things you've made me are so close to my heart. Thank you :) ❤ ❤❤

⏳ I'd like to thank the loyal readers (you guys!) who voted and commented on every chapter. I appreciate you all getting this book to where it is today, though it was an arduous process. You are the ones that have made me smile when I read every comment upon waking up every morning. Such as you guys having super long conversations in the comments that spam my notifications, and the spamming of lyrics to Uptown Girl and Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast.

I appreciate the time you've taken out of your day to read this story and stay on this ride until the end. I hope it was a good one. This story wouldn't be possible without all of you! Thank you :) ❤❤❤

⏳ Unfortunately, there are no extras this time.

⏳ I think you all know what the next story is going to be. I hope you're all excited! :D 

⏳ Unfortunately, you're going to be waiting a while. And when I say a while, I really mean it. So far, the past three books have been uploaded consecutively with a matter of a few months apart. The fourth book, however, will not be uploaded any time soon. 

The Time Walker series is what put me on the map. It's what has put me in the place I am today. I would not have received all you lovely people reading my work if it wasn't for Andi. But I don't want to be known just for our favourite sassy Time Walker. The Path of Time took up a lot of my time and creativity, and thus caused many of my other projects to suffer. Alice specifically suffered greatly, which I had to indefinitely unpublish due to lack of motivation, creativity, and inspiration to continue it. I don't want to do that with my three new projects which you've probably seen already on my profile. I want to be able to write them, and I don't want them to suffer like Alice did writing this story.

Don't get me wrong, I love giving you more of Andi. I love Andi to bits. Writing her is like writing myself. I love Marvel and I love putting my character into its universe. As hard as it was to write, I enjoyed writing this story, but I want to be known for my original work more than my fanfiction. With that said, Fall of the Mighty will begin it's upload in late 2017. And I am sad to say that it will be the last in the Time Walker series.

So there's always one thing that I sort of struggle with you guys when it comes to my stories: connection. I do reply to the occasional comment as well as answer a few plot questions and whatnot, but you've never really had any kind of connection with me unless you've found me on the threads.

With that said, I'd like to use these last few parts for a Q&A! Ask me anything! It can be about how Andi came around to my writing process for this series or anything Marvel! Though, I haven't done one of these before, so sort of bear with me for a bit.

Please actually ask me some questions ahaha! Don't make this part just an awkward attempt to have this opportunity but nobody asks me anything XD That would be embarrassing. So post your questions in the comment section below or on this paragraph! I'll be answering every single one of them!

The answers will be posted in the next part in a few weeks time.

Happy reading, lovelies! :D
