Chapter 19: Letter to My Readers
A/N: Hey everyone! I just wanted to start out this letter to you with a huge Thank You! None of you have any idea how much each of you mean to me. I absolutely loved writing this story and was surprised at how many people loved it right along with me. You all have put my writing to the test and I hope I succeeded in creating a great read. I found myself as each week went by thinking about what I should tell you in my Author's Notes that week. They really are like writing a letter to my readers and I love to tell you what's going on in my life so that in return I could get to know you. I feel like I have made a bunch of online friends and I looked forward to reading each of your reviews every week. They always seemed to make me feel warm and bubbly inside, like I had done something worthwhile. I would like to thank you all for giving me such positive reviews. I don't think I received one flame! Even some people who mentioned that my writing could improve still said they looked forward to reading my fic. ? I was very pleased with the amount of reviews I received and would like to thank you all for being such awesome readers! So I just wanted to say THANK YOU and that I love each and every one of you. Now I would like to give some special thank you's to my most consistent reviewers. I am giving a thank you to everyone who reviewed chapter 18, and if I noticed that you didn't I tried to put you here anyway! If I missed you I am truly sorry, and I want you to know that you still rocked hard! Thanks to:
Kagome19: Yes it is really sad finishing it. It's kind of like losing a child, although I wouldn't know…And yes I love sequels as well. I would like to thank you for being such a constant reviewer. You have been awesome!
Duckymander: Thank you so much! I am glad that you liked my ending, because I though it was funny and sweet at the same time, although sort of weak. Anyway thanks for being such a constant reviewer and for giving me such positive comments. You rock!
Hplova4eva: Yeah I'm writing a sequel. So no worries! Hope to see you reviewing the sequel!
Ms. Hermione's Laughter: Thanx! Yeah I know everyone burst into laughter a lot, but hey it was a funny and emotional time! I find that when I get really emotional I laugh a lot. What can I say? Thanx for being honest. I know my talent sort of ebbed away at the end of the fic, but I was getting kind of tired and rather lazy so that's how it goes! Thans so much!
Nervous Turkey Leftovers: HA! I like how you changed ur name after Thanksgiving! LOL! Thanx so much. I thought it was really Ron too! That's why I made it happen! :) You have been terrific!
michelleywelley: I forgive you for not reviewing the last few chapters. I know things get pretty hectic. Anywho thank you so much for reading! You have been wonderful and I am still loving your fic! Get the next chapter up soon!
Weasley: Thanx! I knew I just HAD to make their reactions be so "OMG!" I had that part worked out from the very beginning of the fic. That and the Voldemort and Hospital thing were the only reasons I wrote this fic, but it turned out even better than I expected! You have been wicked cool! (Like any Weasley!)
Leesa: Thanx for reading. You rock hard!
RussellGrl15: Aw! That happened to you at the prom? So sweet! I wish that would happen to me. I kind of write my fics from what I want and think will happen so it just seemed so perfect! Thank you soooo much for reading! Your reviews have been consistent, helpful, and positive. You have been great!
morgan: How do I say this? I can't find a word to express how much you you rock! You were my very first reviewer that wasn't like a friend I see everyday, and I was just so thrilled at your review! I truly looked forward to your review every time I updated, and I knew I wouldn't update until you did, because I always knew you would. You have been a consistent and positive reviewer and I thank you for it! You have been awesome and I hope I can keep in contact with you in my new sequel! You have been awfabwiculous! (Awesome. Fabulous. Wicked.)
Green-Sky1: You actually thought you reading J.K. Rowling's books?? Wow that is a HUGE compliment and I am extremely flattered! Just for that you get a cyber cookie! Thanx for reading, you are awesome like a possum!
Natalie Potter731: Yeah it does sound like the Harry Potter books doesn't it? I am gonna re-read them all soon. Well as soon as I get a spare minute! UGH anyway! Thank you for being such a consistent reviewer and an AWESOME friend! You rock and I love you lots! Thanx you are tight like a monkey! :)\
Icebreaker20037: Yeah I'm writing a sequel so stay tuned! :) Now thank you for reading! I knew that you were going to review every time and I got to know you! You are wicked! Thanx so much!
Cheese Diva: Thanx so much! You have been so wonderful! You are a consistent reviewer and a BLOODY BRILLIANT friend! I love you lots, thanx for readin my fic! :)
David Ken: Yeah it's pretty hard to let it go. Wow! Have I really been working on it for 3 MONTHS! Whoo I need to get a life! Anyway you have been awesome! Thanx for taking the time to read sappy fic! You are a fine and dandy reviewer! :)
Jessica Flores: Yeah I thought it was cool that she got all excited! AND YES Sarah will be in the sequel! I liked her too, how could I let her go? She has a bit of a bigger role in the sequel so stayed tuned! Thanx for reading! You rock!
tiffiany-45: Let's see...It would have to go something like this. You have been AWESOME! You have been honest and helpful and I have looked forward to your reviews so much. I knew I had to wait for you to review because I always knew you would! I have loved beta reading for you, and I hope you continue to have me do it! You have been the wickedest (Is that a word?) Person and I hope to stay in touch! Thanx so much!
Those we my thank yous for everyone who reviewed chapter 18. You have all been terrific and even though I didn't type it out to all of you, I hope to see you all again in my sequel! You all have been the best reviewers in the world! Now I would like to take the time to say some shout outs to some special people who didn't review chapter 18, but I remembered them from previous chapters. Their reviews had such an impact that I just HAD to say SOMETHING! ;) So here we go:
Penelope Richwood: Hey! You have been awesome as well. You have been positive and wonderful and I hope that you finish my fic and hopefully read the sequel! Thanx so much you have been great!
Blunt but honest: I wanted to thank you for at least reading my fic a little bit even though you obviously didn't like it much. I'd like to thank you for suggesting "read please dot com" for my story, although I couldn't download it because my computer is a piece of crud! Your suggestion made me more aware to read over my chapter before posting them, although they might not have been perfect because I'm only human. But thank you anyway. Oh yes and I checked your complaint about the "Forbidden Forest" thing and in both versions of the book it is indeed Forbidden Forest. It's Dark Forest in the movies. I suggest you re-read and re-watch the books and movies. Here's the page numbers. American Version: Book 1 pg. 242, and Brittish Version: Book 1 pg. 177. Thank you for your time. :)
Canned Apple Pie: I am still lovin your penname and I hope you continue to read my fan fic! Thanx for much! :)
Mrs. Eminem: Thanx for checkin out my fic and putting me on your favorites list! :)
OK if I forgot you I am truly sorry, but I could only do so much. Do not believe for a second that I don't like you. I love all my reviewers I just may have forgotten your name! Thanx too all for readin! :)
OK now onto the talk about my new SEQUEL! I want to let you know some things about the sequel. First of all it's an Post Hogwarts fic. (YAY) and it is still going to be from Harry's POV. I thought about having it in Ron's POV so we could be closer to the R/H fluff, but I decided in the end that (and I hope you agree) that it would change my writing style too much. So that's that. There are going to be some very interesting things happening in the sequel, but I can't tell you what they are because then you wouldn't read it! Or maybe you would, but still! Anyway thats the scoop on the sequel! PLEASE read it, because it's going to be as good (if not better) than the first one! I will HOPEFULLY have the first chapter up next Friday, but I'm not making any promises, because it's going to be hard to write. The following week it SO busy for me but I will try my best! Thanx for your cooperation!
NOW the results of the poll are *drumroll* 9 people participated and 8 people said get together on their own and 1 person said they will have some help. Wow talk about one sided! As for me...I think Harry will be too busy saving the world and stuff to notice much and they'll kinda fight themselves into it! So there you go! Since this is the last chapter there will be no poll this week, but there will be one with the first chapter of the sequel if I get reminded enough! AGAIN thank you all! You have no idea how much I love hearing your reviews and just hearing from you! I wish I could meet all of you, but I doubt that will happen! I hope to see you all soon! Buh bye y'all!
Love your faithful writer,
