Author's Note:

So, one last big thanks to everyone who's reviewed!

I also wanted to say that I have posted the AU version for Finnick and Stell, which is Prejudice Seas. Also I thought some may find it interesting if I explained more into Stell as a character in this book herself.

So, I got the name from the Steller Sea Lions, which are actually some of the ugliest sea lions I've ever seen, which I find ironic since Stell is anything but ugly. And also, she suffers from a variety of disorders that I did some research on throughout the story. Obviously post-traumatic stress disorder is a huge thing for her. Also social phobia in being in large crowds and having people behind her played apart. Dissociative amnesia is another one that I put in with her when she keeps wanting to revert back to the way she was in the arena even after she's out already. I also thought of her as having partially histrionic personality disorder, in which a person is harmfully impulsive and emotionally unstable.

That's about it for her as to how she acts and such, and most of it is due to her Games. So Stell in her other story will be different. And most everyone who reviewed was like the next story should have a happy ending, which it will. I thought the ending to this story was rather happy given the circumstances.

I didn't want to have a fake situation in which Stell and Finnick live out their lives long and happy together until they die of just old age. I looked up the life expectancy of a person who has had their heart fail on them before and I found that it usually takes about twenty years off someone's life span if it's really bad. Stell's torture she had that happen once or twice, and then with all the abuse she had put on her. It just made sense to me that she dies young. Also the fact that it happened so suddenly, except for the fact she noticed she got tired faster, but ignored it.

I thought about having her live to mid-forties and meet Katniss and Peeta's children, but decided against that settling for thirty six or seven.

I hope you guys found that interesting maybe at all. I'm really excited for this next story, I'm trying to incorporate some symbols into it too, so if anyone likes that type of stuff there will be repeating symbols and motifs in Prejudice Seas.

So head on over and read that one, review it and that'd be the best! Tell your friends to read it too if you want!

Thanks so much!
