Hey man, it's alright. If you need to take a break, just say it! You work extremely hard on this fic, it's a'okay if you need to take a few days or a week off. We all totally understand, especially since a death was involved. We're here for you, alright? <3 And we'll be patiently waiting for your return.

Thank you... that means a lot. ^^

I still have four chapters in the queue at least... though who knows what will happen once uni starts in two weeks’ time. (I have to take a recent example of my work to the first class... guess I’d better skim through this monster of a fic to pick out a decent chapter or two.)

Can I send two mun facts? Cause I wanna send two mun facts. XD ♠ ♠

> send a ♠ for a mun fact

(( As of today, in all four of my sketch books there are at least three sketches of Nilesy. The most Nilesy sketches in one book is at least 20 )) 

(( When I was smaller I used to be in a swimming team and I used to win lots of awards especially for freestyle and butterfly. I was terrible at breast stroke and flip turned too slow for back. I had to eventually quit due to middle school at the time. ))

Oh, oops, I meant that I was already enlightened before I read the fic. ^^; Still, who knows! Maybe someone else has a new perspective now thanks to your fic! Also, quick question. Are we ever going to learn why Clay's dad is not in Clay's life at all? It's gotta be horrible knowing your own dad won't go to your own graduation. My heart breaks a little everytime Clay says his dad isn't going to do something with him. 3:

Ah yes, I thought I was probably mis-reading that! xD It was late at night and the brain works slower then!

As for Clay’s dad... well, I’ve just never got around to figuring out who he is. If Clay was in boarding school, they probably didn’t get along at all, especially since he was still there the day after his mother died. Mr Terran friggin’ left it to the school staff to tell Clay what had happened instead of doing it in person! And if we assume Clay’s mother died of illness instead of in a sudden accident, then that makes it worse because Clay couldn’t even be with her in her final days, being stuck at school!

When I was writing the boys graduating from school, I think I decided I had enough characters to juggle and I was saying goodbye to the tiny stable of school staff and classmates, so I just didn’t want to bring in Mr Terran then. When Clay graduates from college though, I might get around to having him appear for that.

Just in case you need comfirmation, yes, we do say a pledge to a flag in the morning at school everyday, and we pretty much think nothing of it. Now that I've been enlightened, I agree that it is quite weird and a little creepy. And don't worry, I think you did great! I understood Luke's perspective completely, and you did a marvelous job at portraying how someone from another country would feel on the 4th of July, a holiday that is VERY patriotic and quite dangerous. No worries~

Ah, yes, thank you. I figured I was probably right about the flags - at the time I was writing that chapter, I was struck with the thought “oh, but I mostly see that with the littlies... do they still do that in high school? That’s an awful lot of classrooms to equip with flags...” I couldn’t find confirmation at the time, so I just went ahead with it.

Wow, really? Are you saying my little (not really little at almost 170 chapters but) silly fanfic ‘enlightened’ you on the weird flag thing? I... am probably misreading that since I mostly learned the whole flag thing was a thing through American people talking online about it being weird.

An... awful lot of Luke’s perspective came from me. Some of it was from my time as an expat in the Netherlands, some of it as an outsider looking at American culture from a distance... and then some of it was also looking at my own culture and going “Guys... please don’t use our flag as your symbol of violent racist hate... you complete bogan trash...” As I said, I was terrified of offending people, so I spent a lot of time trying to make his thought processes clear... maybe put a few words in Clark’s mouth while I was at it. I was even going to cut the chapter entirely at one point, but it tied in too closely to what came after, so I couldn’t. I’m really glad people liked that chapter, after how much I agonised over it. :)

(Also, just cause I wanna see the reactions) + Lewis!

> Send me a “+” and a character you would like to see me hook up with..and Mun and Muse will give their opinion on the ship.

“Is that an actual ship?” Nilesy pondered for a moment as he thought about Xeph “He’s a pretty cool guy, but we don’t talk much. I know about how he works at Yoglabs and if he finds out about my mershark form...” 

((Oh my god...I never thought about that...Sounds cute. I mean I wouldn’t go on a mass shipping thing about it, but it’s a nice thought. Mostly fluff and all that cute stuff. ))

I've come here to say that my friend and I are absolutely loving your fanfic! She's already read the whole thing in the span of a few days, and I'm roughly halfway through. XD Your fanfic had practically everything she loved (Except NaruMayo. But she pushed onwards despite that.) and I got hooked as well! I must commend you for how long you've maintained this fanfic. A chapter nearly everyday is no easy feat, and I won't blame you for taking a break. [Part 1]

Did you know that your fanfic has more words than Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix? XD That's a LOT of fanfiction, and we're not even at the Apollo Justice and Dual Destinies arcs! I can't wait to see where you take the fic! Your fanfic is really well written, and I found myself laughing and shaking my head at this family's antics. Thank you so much for the fanfic, I know it must've been a lot of work and dedication. I hope you have a lovely day/night! <3 [Part 2]

Oh, thank you! :D And I’m especially glad you and your friend were able to enjoy it despite not liking NaruMayo - I know a fic including NaruMitsu completely turns me off it in an instant, since that ship’s just so pervasive in the AA fandom.

I have taken a few breaks already actually, though another will be coming up soon; If you haven’t noticed, when I don’t have a chapter to upload, I put up behind the scenes stuff here, which you can find listed in the tag list. If you’re interested in that kind of thing. :)

Wow, longer than Order of the Phoenix!? I had no idea my wordcount had gotten quite that big! xD Then again, when I decided to get this idea out of my head and down on paper, it somehow never occurred to me that what I had in mind to write would be horrendously long; I was too busy thinking through details of the AU itself, I guess. xD

Thank you again for liking my fic! :D The fact so many people do still amazes me! :DDD

So I consulted Google, and here's what I found: "Lovers and Friends" by Usher, "7 Days" by Mary Blige, "Girl Next Door" and "Half Crazy" by Musiq. (I haven't listened to any of these songs, so I have no idea what they're like. :P

all of these are hip hop from like 2007 lmao 

not really my vibe i guess

(( Oh my god that’s so nice of you!!! ))
