9 SWEET SUMMER (afterword)

(Anyone who has read up to this point is a real one. Thank you for sticking with the journey this far. Appreciate you all)

Hello,

Wow, volume one is finally finished :0

Fun fact: this volume only got through the first three episodes of season one LOL

Ever since I saw my first episode of GOT in 2012, I have been in love with the rich world created by George R.R. Martin.

Have always been a big fan of fantasy and any warfare medieval. Romans, England, Warring States, Lord of the Rings, the works.

So it was only natural that after a decade of my personal head cannon brewing inside my noggin, that I would eventually commit my ideas to written form.

I originally intended to end the volume after the conclusion of Joe's fight with Jaime Lannister, but after the positive reception, I felt it too evil to leave you all on such a cliff hanger ;p

Thus, here we are. Nearly 60k words later. For reference, The Shawshank Redemption, written by Stephen King, is around 40k words.

I somehow managed to tell a less amazing story with more words (lol). But hey, I'm proud of what was produced.

Now I will leave the story to brew a while. Did you enjoy it? If so, leave a review! You non reviewing fucks (jk ;p)

But nah. Leave a review lmao. It takes one minute of your time. It brings more readers to the story and thus more engagement. Engagement = more chapters. You are literally doing yourself and others a favor by leaving a review.

Leave a review.

Leave a review.

Am I repeating myself?

Leave a review.

Liked the story? Hell, go back and read it again. Pour a bunch of positivity into it. NUKE THE SHIT OUT OF IT!

God knows it's required. There are a lot of asshole readers who leave nasty comments that defeat the loving purpose of me writing this.

It's an interesting psychological experiment, being a writer. You can look into the histories of people that comment, and get an understanding about what kind of people they are.

It's amazing how many cunts there are in the world. I guess they feel better about themselves by spreading their sadness. It's rare, though. It takes a certain kind of individual to be a hater. But it's amazing how deep their words can hit you.

Starting to appreciate YouTubers and celebrities a lot more. Can't even imagine the BS they see on a daily basis.

Anyway, enough bitching

I am unsure if I will continue this series. So your thoughts and good vibes would be greatly appreciated. Might have to go back and finish my other stories. Lord knows that needs to happen eventually. (Shout outs to Divine_Cheese)

Yes, I have my own ending to George's fantastic story planned out~

Got any questions? Ask them, and I might post a Q&A thingy in a couple of days. Any shit to do with upload schedules or whatever could be answered there. I'm sure people are dying to know why the fuck I named our boy Joe.

Otherwise, peace out homies. I might see you, I might not.

Thank you all for the support. There were so many amazing people, so I fear personally shouting everyone out, in case I missed someone :(

But I see each and every one of you. Oh yes, I see you <3

Thanks for reading~
