Hey gang, just popping on real quick to address some of the comments since my last post. First off, I want to thank everyone who took the time to write something. I also just wanted to say that my post about the problem I have with fanfiction wasn’t to try and guilt you guys into commenting. But was more to point out that it gets me down when I put so much effort into something and seemingly get no reward. I really do appreciate the comments nonetheless and want to say that I can’t thank you guys enough for supporting me. Guestish: No, lol I did not catch the plague. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, I think we’ve had less than 200 cases during the entire quarantine, and I take all the proper precautions when I got out, mask, hand sanitizer etc. So even though I have an “essential,” and public job, I have avoided it. I also very much appreciate your support over the years and am very glad you’re enjoying the story. Have you read my other works, or do you just enjoy BDH? Guest1998: Thank you as well, Guest1998 for your support over the years. I really do appreciate it and I’m very glad you enjoyed the choice of the final girl who will enter the harem. On a side note, if your handle means that you were born in 1998 I feel very old indeed… Megaman: Thanks for the kind words, Megaman. There is nothing wrong, at the basics with not writing a comment or hitting a like. But it is, unfortunately one of the only ways that readers of fanfiction can show support to the writers. Its nothing to feel sorry for, if it makes you uncomfortable to do so. But I will say that even just a quick: “Loved your story, thanks for writing it!” Goes a long long way to helping those of us who pour so much effort into everything we write. I appreciate the sentiment of “have a nice weekend.” Unfortunately for me, I work every weekend. My “weekend” is in the middle of the week. ArcherNexus: I’m very glad to hear you enjoyed the new chapter. Honestly, I probably could have made it a two or even three part chapter, since so much stuff happened. It would have made the ending much more believable too, but I really wanted to get back to the main story so I used some exposition to cram everything into one chapter. (Coincidentally though, chapter 48 is, by a substantial margin, my longest chapter yet). I have many reasons for selecting Kendall Jenner as one of the two final girls to enter the harem, which I’m sure you know since you’ve been following this thread for a while. But my main reason was her connection to many of the characters and her influence across multiple industries. I think those things made her a very plausible spy to help Alex collect data on his targets. It also doesn’t hurt that, despite what you may think of her as a person, she is incredibly hot. As to the “I love you” at the end. I nearly removed it. My editor suggested I do so, and I did where she said it in an earlier moment in her training. But I decided to leave in the I love you at the end because I figured that it was more an effect of the euphoric feeling that she was experiencing as she was high on Arcadia and had just had the best orgasms of her life than her saying it out of genuine love. Here is what I have to say about the fanfiction you wrote. I remember reading part of it. I think I even commented on it in a review and I’m pretty sure I enjoyed what I had read up to that point. The main thing that you CAN get out of writing fanfiction, is practice. As a writer, I feel you are wholly unprepared to write a serious, feature length work, something that could be legitimately published, either by you or an actual publishing company until you’ve got at least a thousand hours of writing under your belt. Your work just won’t be sophisticated enough to sell till you’ve had enough practice to refine your own unique technique. I would urge you, that if this is a goal of yours, to continue to work on your fanfiction. Even if you don’t get much feedback you will get practice and that is not an insignificant reward for your hard work. I want to thank you again for your kind words, and I will reiterate what I said. I will finish it, just the only question is how long it will take… Thanks again, and good luck with your own endeavors. Take-Takeoff: Thank you for the kind words. I’m very glad you’ve enjoyed what you read and I’m very happy that you’re looking forward to Alexandra’s upcoming appearance. I haven’t decided exactly how long it will be till she makes it into the harem. I need to have a small amount of time pass before I can bring in Kendall and Alexandra. But I can promise that her entrance will be one to remember! Sazbi: I’m sorry that Gal didn’t make it in. I had one spot left, and at least one of the prevailing reasons Alexandra made it over Gal is that I personally find Alexandra much hotter than Gal… Those eyes of Alexandra are just…. well they are just too damn much. I figured that if this is the last fanfiction I write (no idea if that will be the case), but if it was, I just HAD to include Alexandra or I would hate myself . As to Kendall, I think there are a lot of interesting potential points of tension. There is the question of whether or not the other girls will find out that SHE played such a significant roll in their capture. There is the really close friendships she had with not just Taylor Swift, but Kendall is also BFFs with Cara Delevingne. And how will that play out with Emma being in the picture? And finally, as you said how will Kendall’s addiction to Arcadia effect the others, especially Bella? There are plenty of very interesting opportunities there. I am excited to finally get the entire cast together as I ramp up towards my planned ending and I’m as excited as you to see where everything goes… Should be very interesting! Okay gang. I’ll be around at least every other day or so to respond to any other comments that might emerge. So if you guys have any other questions or concerns or whatever, let me know and I’ll try to respond to them. Till next time, -Mal
