Adjusts Stitch onesie and nearly drops my coffee mug in excitement
OH MY GODS, OH MY GODS, OH MY GODS! Bounces in chair so hard my pencils fall out of my hair bun
YOU GUYS! I'm literally shaking right now! Like, actually trembling! Lycoris had to bring me chamomile tea because I was vibrating at frequencies that probably violate several laws of physics!
Takes deep breath, tries to compose myself
Okay, okay, let me try to be coherent for thirty seconds. We hit TWO massive milestones and I'm going to cry happy tears all over my keyboard if I'm not careful!
FIFTY THOUSAND VIEWS! Flails arms wildly FIFTY! THOUSAND! That's like... that's a small city's worth of people who looked at our little story! And SIX HUNDRED COLLECTIONS! Clutches chest dramatically Six hundred beautiful souls who said "yes, I want to keep reading about Xavier being a disaster and Calypso being chaotic!"
Wipes eyes with Stitch sleeve
From the bottom of mine and Lycoris's hearts—THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN US! This wouldn't be possible without every single one of you gorgeous readers who decided to give two random creators a chance!
Leans forward conspiratorially
And guys... whispers other authors on WebNovel are telling me my story might actually get contracted. Like, CONTRACTED contracted. I could turn this passion project into an actual career! Screams into pillow I'm sorry, I just— the little girl who used to write fanfiction in her school notebook never imagined this could be real!
There's just one tiny thing giving me pause... fidgets with hood If I get mega popular—which would NEVER happen, right? Except... glances at view count with readers like you, I can't even say that anymore! You've smashed every single expectation I've had! But anonymity is kinda important to me? I love chatting with you all, but I also love my privacy and my Stitch onesie lifestyle.
Grins mischievously
Good thing Lycoris might have found a loophole! He's sneaky like that. We'll see what happens!
OH! Health update! Does little happy dance I'm getting so much better! My hands still shake sometimes, but channeling all this creative energy into something I love is literally pushing the demons away. It's like... therapeutic? Who knew writing about beautiful disasters could be healing?
Checks phone and squeals
Also, also, ALSO! I'm seeing Lilo & Stitch this Friday! Live action! I'm gonna riot if it's ass! Please don't be ass!
Suddenly looks sheepish
One more thing—from now on, I'm putting these author rambles at the end of chapters instead of making separate ones. Can you imagine spending money just to read me yap? The audacity! Laughs
Gets serious for exactly three seconds
Thank you for supporting one little author with one wild dream. You're all magic.
Now excuse me while I go write more chaos! These chapters won't write themselves!

P.S. Expect an authors note if this lilo and stitch movie is ass. I've been avoiding any spoilers and reviews to come in with an open mind.
