I just wanted to give a big thank you to every single one of you beautiful people following me. You've been so kind and supportive about my writing, and I really appreciate it more than I can express with words, written or otherwise.

When I joined Wattpad, I had no intention of writing or even reading anything. It was just an easily downloaded app that had a word counter for my history papers.

But then I began to read (mostly Warriors stuff) in my spare time. I started to admire the authors and the worlds they had created, and I eventually decided that I knew enough about Warriors to write my own fanfiction about it.

So I did. I wrote and posted an ABOMINATION of a Warriors fanfiction (also an equally terrible Gravity Falls story) that I quickly decided to rewrite. And that is when Claw Marked and the Path of Shadows series was born.

And you know what? When I posted the new, better version, people liked it! They started to read it and actually enjoyed the story.

So... I decided to go ahead and make it a series. I also decided to write other things that weren't Warriors related, and after being inspired by a story called Rosemary by mintblossom-, Chimaera came into existence as what it is today.

And as I kept writing, people kept saying they liked it. I thought it would be fun to make up what became of BloodClan after the final battle in the first Warriors series, so I created Aftermath and the Omen of Blood series.

And the support just kept coming! I kept getting followers, and meeting nice people, and learning how to play and make Name That Apprentice books.

I learned that horror stories are okay with me as long as the gore isn't too severe, and that I'm good at describing things and making dream sequences.

Honestly, had I not started reading books on here, I never would have known what a lovely and supportive community this can be. I was prepared to be scorned as another bad fanfic witter, and yet I now have 110+ followers who leave the most lovely comments.

So... thank you all so much! Thank you for showing me that there really are kind people in the world and that the Internet isn't always as toxic as I feared.

Thank you for showing me that fanfiction doesn't have to be super cringy, but can actually be a great writing accomplishment.

Thank you for inspiring me to attempt to create something like that, and then supporting that creation so readily. And also for supporting the new, admittedly slightly odd ideas that come into my head.

Thank you for putting up with my laziness and listening to me rant and fangirl about things.

I don't deserve you, but as long as I have you, I'm never going to take that for granted.

There are some special mentions I'd like to make.
