Hellooooooo my amazing panda fam! Welcome to another Author's Note!

Today's note is extra special cause I'll be answering frequent comments, as well as some extra special questions that my epic VIPs asked in my last Author's Note! If any of you have questions or comments that aren't featured in this chapter and you'd like me to address, just comment in this Author's Note and I guarantee I'll answer ASAP!

Just a disclaimer: many of these comments I'm responding to are negative, so I thought I'd say that I don't actually hold onto negativity. The main comments I think about are your positive ones! I love you, and the comments you leave, so much! Thank you for making my Wattpad experience so wonderful.

Now let's rip some comments to shreds, shall we? :3

#1: "Who are the ships? PLEASE SHIP THESE PEOPLE AAAAA!"
This was a comment I'd get a lot before the ships became prominent. The reason why I never gave a solid answer is because I was planning on having multiple ships in this story. My book is all about being realistic and relatable, which includes exploring different romances and how we react when people get together as well as when people get heartbroken.

#2: "UPDATE?!?!?"
Welllllllllll I appreciate your concern, but I am the flakiest pastry you'll ever eat. I got shit to do! And while writing makes me sososo happy and I love hearing from you all, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby!
You may have to wait a week, a month, or a year. I update when I update, and that's that. Sorry not sorry ;3

#3: *literally any negative gender comment* ... yes, I'm looking at YOU 😡
Ohoho I hope you feel really bad when you read just a littleeee teeeny tinyyyy bit further and see me POLITELY REQUEST FOR THERE TO BE AS LITTLE GENDER COMPLAINTS AS POSSIBLE. I mean HONESTLY.
I mean, I'm so sorry that while I write a dope fucking book you're so hung up on being the opposite gender that you can't even enjoy it, and you'd rather sacrifice others' reading experiences just to get your way about something as minuscule as GENDER. Good lord, this makes me mad.

Okay. Phew.
Right, yes. I am calm, cool, and collected.

I'm sorry you had to see me like this, Panda Fam. My anger is not directed towards any of you kind souls. Forgive my sudden outburst.

#4: *literally any neutral/positive gender comment* ... yeah, I'm looking at you ☺️
Ahhhh. My saving grace. You are the greatest. I love you.
It makes me so happy to see that I am pleasing your kind souls.

And for those of you that didn't get your preferred gender but keep a good attitude, THAT is what I call a well-developed character! I salute you.

Thank you all :3

#5: "Scorpio and Sagittarius are soooo hawt"
I think all the signs are attractive, but y'all seem to really like Scorpio and Sagi. I think my favourite (in terms of appearance) is Capricorn... and no, that is not the reason why he's shipped with Aquarius.

... not the only reason, anyway.

But! I'm sure all you readers are absolutely beautiful, inside and out. Actually, I KNOW you are!!

... was that creepy? Sorry, I was trying to make you feel good about yourselves :/

#6: "This story is uNoRiGiNaL"
This comment is unoriginal. BOOM.

#7: "This description doesn't sound like me wahhh"
How's this description for you:

-stupid
-that's it

BOOM.

#8: "Ugh I hate (insert random zodiac sign here) because I have a friend who's a (insert said zodiac sign here) and they SUCK"

Well I hate YOU and I think YOU SUCK.

BOOM.

(I'm sorry no I don't)

How can you hate a zodiac sign based off of ONE person? These people obviously don't understand the concept of birth charts. I encourage everyone to get Co-Star, because your sun sign is just the surface of this crazy astrological world! Add me as a friend, my Co-Star username is @ chilyana :3

#9: "Aquibra is a stupid ship name"
:'(
I thought it was cool but then everybody was like "BAHAHAHHAH" so now I just say that it was stupid ON PURPOSE because Gemini's character is supposed to be bad at making ship names.

No offence, Geminis. I'm sure your ship names are impeccable.

#10: "I was hoping ____ would happen :(("
Hmm, well maybe you should write a book so every thing you want to happen in a story occurs. I'm sorry, to tell you the truth I'm actually not receiving all your telepathic messages.

#11: "Noooo don't ship THEM :(:(/(/(:(:((/?(/(:).$$:82'fjwxjeiwlsl"

Ohoho JUST WATCH ME! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Remember that "realism" thing I was talking about? I'm sure you've seen people get together that seem COMPLETELY incompatible. Sometimes you're proven wrong and discover they're an absolute POWER COUPLE, and sometimes relationships that you think will last forever crumble. That's what regular life is like, so why would Zodiac High be any different?

#12: "What does 'ciao' mean?"
"Ciao" is an Italian exclamation, used to say both "hello" and "goodbye"! I think that's just a perfect thing to say! It's my way of ending the chapter, but also saying that I, the author, am still here to hang out with my panda family :3

AND NOW we diverge into personal comments asked on the previous Author's Note (which you should know by now will be deleted as soon as this Author's Note is published)! Let's go!!

_______

#13: "What if I told you there was a buy one get one free sale on cinnamon roll cakes and when you go over to the rack, there's only ONE left. What would you do when you realize there was no point to the sale?"

What a chaotic comment. I think my brain exploded.

I mean, I love cinnamon rolls so I'd be happy with any amount. And it's like there was no point, think of all the happy people that went home with two cinnamon rolls instead of one!

If I were REALLY desperate to get my fair share of this sale, I'd check in with the bakery to see if they're making any more, or if I could get some other treat that costs the same amount.

#14: "At one point will we get to know who the zodiac's parents are or no?"

This is a very good question! And the answer is no! Teehee.

I believe that it's important for zodiac books to be relatable, so writing things like backstories or parents is complicated and risky. There's no common pattern in what zodiac's parents are like, so I tend to steer clear of things that may cause this story to feel less personal to my readers and their personalities.

Also, don't you just love all the DRAMA that can ensue without parental figures around? Because same ;3

#15: "What panda are you in the family?"
This.
I like this question.

And I am the mother panda, of course! If you don't want me to be your mama, I can be the captain or whatever. As the founder of the Panda Fam, it is my utmost responsibility to keep YOU safe and comfortable! I love and care for you all, in the way a motherly panda would :3

#16: "Will you ever do a QnA with the zodiacs?"
This!
I love this idea! Let's do it! Thank you for the suggestion!
Any questions you have for the zodiac, ASK THEM NOW!
Ask them anywhere you want, not just here! Whenever a question pops in your mind for a specific zodiac to answer, ASK IT!
When I have enough questions, I shall make another BONUS CHAPTER where the zodiacs can answer YOUR epic questions! So ask away! Do it! Do it now! Or later. Whatever.

Well, that concludes this QnA! I think I'll keep this in the book instead of deleting it like the other ones, in case any more curious pandas wander in.

Thank you for reading! Have a fantastic day :3

Ciao!
