HELLO EVERYONE!

I would just like to take a moment and say, from the BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND SOUL, WOW. AND THANK YOU.

I haven't been on fan in a while, or posted anything. I've pretty much switched over to AO3 for the most part because I now like their format better than this. That being said, I come on here every so often as I have a few stories on this site which I enjoy.

I wrote this dumb fanfiction when I was like 16. A junior in High School. I watched The Crucible for my English class, got really thirsty for Reverend Hale, and wrote this. This is DEFINITELY NOT my finest work, by any means. It's pretty damn cheesy/cutesy, but I was basically a baby when I wrote this and I didn't really read that much fanfiction at that time.

HOWEVER, your reviews HAVE TOUCHED ME so much. I came on here today to post my new fanfic, that I'm writing 10 YEARS LATER AS AN ADULT, and I JUST NOTICED for the FIRST TIME that I have SEVENTY SEVEN (77?!) reviews for this story.

I can't believe it. I'm in shock. I scrolled through and read some of the kind things that you all have said. I'm so happy if you enjoyed this fanfiction and if it inspired you to write your own Hale fan fiction. When I wrote this 10 years ago, there weren't ANY Hale fan fiction out there. Like BARELY any at all. Now I've checked and there is a good amount (most of which is probably a lot better than mine), and I'm so happy.

For every high school junior who had to read The Crucible for English class, and then fell in love with John Hale after watching the movie, this one is for YOU. Know that I love you, I appreciate you, and I hope you all the success in the world. For all of my high school juniors and seniors scared because of the Coronavirus right now, I pour all of my love and sympathies towards you and wish you the very best, and I hope that everything will be okay.

Take care everyone.
