Hey y'all, it's Isaac aka Izzie aka UnnecessarilyEdgy. I'm coming to you all from 2025 at about 1:30 in the morning to talk about something important to me. 

These past two years have been very rough for me mentally as I watched my closest friend since early childhood not only get married but also change into someone I didn't recognize before she hurt me in a horrible way that I would never wish on anyone else. I'm in an era of my life I never thought I'd make it to when I was a young teen, an era full of changes. But with those changes came a few good things. 

I started HRT last year, I spent a month with my grandparents having the time of my life, I got to see my girlfriend again and introduce her to her long-distance furbaby, I got to spend time with the few friends I have left who proved themselves to be true friends. In early 2023 was when I first started watching One Piece and absolutely fell in love with the series, the Straw Hats, and of course, Roronoa Zoro himself. 

And through that love, I started this silly little fanfic. And holy shit, I didn't expect to get to fucking 12K READS after a year of consistently writing this story that I had just been writing for myself. When I was a teenager, Self-Inserts and Self-Shipping were considered "Cringe" and a lot of people got hate for it, but I've always been doing it since I was a child even if I didn't know the exact terms for it. And I'm so grateful that I was lucky enough to be met with so much love and support from my readers, especially those of you who were nice enough to leave comments! 

As I've said before, and I will continue to say again and again, comments motivate me the most to keep writing, so keep it up!

Book Two of "The Isekai'd Pirate" aka "Season of the Witch" is out now for y'all to read and I hope I can continue entertaining you all with my silly little stories!

Thank you, to all of you, for taking the time out of your days to sit down and read my stories. 

Thank you, so, so much. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I cherish each and every one of you.

And, Happy New Year!!!

~ Isaac (UnnecessarilyEdgy)
