Hello! I can’t believe it’s already been over 2 years since you’ve updated! I hope you’re doing ok.
Btw this Fanfic is one of my all time favorites! The characters, the story, even your OC’s all have so much depth and personalities that people can relate too... it’s incredible. You have an amazing talent and it is so amazing to see how far you’ve come even from the first chapter. Even tho that was great too. Anyways... I hope you’ll update or at least, if you don’t feel like finishing (which I I hope you do) post a summary of what happens!

Man, you make Daisy so lovably juvenile!

Longtime reader here! I still love your story; I vividly remember when the chapter came out where the Ninjii attack Daisy and Bowser Jr. I was a sophomore in high school and I happened to be playing at a tennis tournament that day. I couldn’t focus during my matches and would go off on my own to read it since I was excited about all the action and drama going on haha. I usually come back a couple of times a year to reread your fic and it makes me smile at all the memories I have that are associated with your story. Thank you for giving that to me! Of course I hope that you’ll update someday, but I assume (like me now) that you’re also a busy adult living your life. Until then, I’ll keep dreaming up my own endings to the story!

I finally managed to read through all of these chapters... damn they were long and now I am sad this hasn't been updated for like 2 years. Well I want MORE I demand more damn it this is one of the best mario related stories I have read so bring it back.

She has better things to do than write free fanfics for rude people. Idk why she hasn't updated, but if or when she does, it ain't going to be for people like you. Write your own ending if you're so salty.

Lol two years and no update

Way to point out the obvious

Hi Alice! Just wanted to let you know that I've been an avid reader since 2012 when I first found this fanfic, and I've re-read it a couple of times already in the last year or so. Just like another person on here, I started reading this when I was around twelve to thirteen and now I'm nineteen, so it's definitely stuck with me throughout the years. Hell, I even got my twin (who doesn't even like reading fanfiction at all) hooked on your story. We can both agree that its certainly a masterpiece, and we're more than grateful for your hard work to give to us the fans and for free too!

I have a bad habit of not leaving comments, but I figured I could at least do that since my brother texted me today asking me if the fic had updated, I came here, read the latest chapter again and decided to at least do that. Hopefully you're doing well! Take your time, at the end of the day it's your decision when to update or not to, people who are demanding an update from you are rude. Yes, we all want to keep reading, but it's not worth it if you're just gonna give us something just for the sake of it, and not because you genuinely like what you're putting out.

I will always come back to this. I’ve been reading it since I was around 12 and I’m 18 now- something about your writing just completely captured my imagination. I’ve sort of grown up with it, and taken it on as something that will always be meaningful to me, that taught me a surprising (for a fanfic about the Mario universe) amount of things about the world, and as something that I will continue to check weekly for however many years it takes for you to complete it.

I try to reread it once every few months, and with each new reading I discover details that I never noticed before, or pick up on some of the subtleties that I couldn’t when I was (arguably too) young. Your writing is truly so skilful, and I’m so happy I stumbled upon this story all those years ago! Seeing the last person’s comment about you still writing this really heartened me. It was honestly the most excited I’d felt in a while, and I’m sure others are super excited too.
Best of luck in all your writing endeavours Alice! :D

She did message me a response after my little remark, which prompted an "oh gosh you really aren't dead" from me. She said she's still writing the next chapter, and she deciced to tell me that because my comment was so nice. IDK what exactly's going on with her besides that, since she didn't say anything else. But that's proof that the "send nice messages, draw fanart, recommend the story, support the author" approach works. She didn't message me back anything after I sent her my response, so you aren't guaranteed a full chat with her, or even if she'll message you back. But she's still out there, still watching, still writing.

Send her messages in her PM telling her how much we love the story and want her to continue. If enough of us do it she will read or hear :)

I do wish she'd at least give some clue about whether she's alive. I hope she's okay and everything is going well but like... If she doesn't wish to continue or is working upon it slowly, it'd be nice to know. It's been more than a year for a single chapter. That's kinda concerning.

to Cross: ...Gosh, you've uncovered something big. It feels obvious in hindsight, and after an an examination of the chapters. Shinobi's another word for ninja, Ryu has blue eyes and can disappear in a leafy whirlwind like the Red Ninji, and as a bastard child who feels rejected by his clan, he has a motive for being a Ninji. It's also the perfect role for him. He's the suitor with the best chance against Bowser, and if Daisy ever found out his true identity, she'd reject him and Bowser would have no one that'd stand a chance against him. It'd also provide lots of angst. Maybe even be part of the climax of the fic.

to various commentors: Urging Alice to hurry up is not the best way to persuade her to write more. She might get irritated and not post anything out of spite. It's like "finally I'm in the mood to write" "WRITE SOMETHING ALREADY" "Rude. I'm not in the mood anymore; you ruined it." Writing reviews about how much you love the story works better. Also saying that you'll wait as long as it takes works. Recommending the story to others would also get the fic more attention and more nice comments.

to Alice: I am completely aware of your ability to read what I'm saying and percieve that I want you to write more and I'm describing persuasive tactics to help others persuade you to write more, but continuing to write the story is your own choice. I understand if you don't really want to finish this or if you're feeling a lack of motivation. Happens to everyone. I won't judge you if you never write another chapter. We'd all be sad, but you're doing this for free and with no obligation to us to finish this, and I'm glad that you've posted this fic.

Alice, come on. Don’t do this to us! HURRY UP!

As much as you say Junior is "just like Bowser", they're nothing alike. If Bowser is a quarter of a decent father he proclaims to be he would not want Junior to be anything like him.
