Caught [l.s] (boyxboy)

Final A/N

MAJOR EDIT: THERE IS NOW A BOOK THREE WOOOOOO so basically ignore all this 

i'm crying. are you crying? i'm crying. 

i've grown so attached to my Harry and especially to my Louis. My Louis feels like a part of me, and I feel like, lost, almost, without this story to fall back on. It's officially over, and I'm proud of the progress we've made, but I'm also going to miss everyone and this story so so much. 

I mean, I'm not dying, but it feels like a small bit of me has.

Thank you all so much for every single vote, comment, and read that you've ever given me. I just want you to know that I never take any of you for granted. Every time I get a sweet comment from one of you, it brightens my day. Every time some private messages me or reaches out to me, it makes me smile. Every time I hit another thousand on my reads, I get a little bit more confident. My writing has definitely changed throughout the course of this series. At the very beginning of Catfish, I was very new to third person point of view. Some of my errors were simply because I was learning. I still am learning. But soon, Louis and Harry became less focused on real life Louis Harry and blossomed into their own people, and I think it's beautiful how words are able to effect us so much. Sometimes writing this frustrated even me, but I felt like all the drama and the angst were realistic. No relationship is perfect. Especially when you have such conflicting personalities, I believe that the most beautiful and strong relationships are the ones you have to fight for. I wanted to reflect on that in this story, and I hope you take that away from this, that not every story has a picture perfect ending. 

Harry and Louis weren't always good for each other. I know they fought a lot and they had major communication issues, but that's what made them so perfect to me. They changed and grew. I learned a lot from writing this story and Catfish. I owe a lot of my followers and my friends to this story. Had I never taken the step and written Catfish, I have no idea where I would be right now.

I met Tori through these stories. I don't know if you know how much I love Tori, but just. This is so much more than a fan-fiction to me. It's so significant and I've just, I've really realized how precious writing can be. I never really expected people to like what I wrote. I haven't hit one million reads yet, I'm not even close, but I feel on top of the world every single day when I get on this website. And I owe it all to you guys.

You guys and your support and your love and your responsiveness. I can never thank you enough. I've been on Wattpad for two and a half years and I've never met so many nice people. Caught is not my best work. There are still several flaws in it that I wish I could go back and fix or change, but I won't. I won't mess with it. It's the way it is for a reason. I might go through and edit it, but I know I worked tirelessly on this story to make it what I wanted. And it worked. I got the story wrapped up in a way that satisfies me and doesn't leave you hanging. 

Writing is the only thing I really like to do. I've never had a real writing class in my life and I'm sort of just figuring out how to do this all, what I like, what I don't like, etc. and it's awesome that I had the opportunity to do this now, as a teenager still in school, to get this experience and learn from it. Even if it is a fanfic, it's still a story, and that's all that matters to me.

I'm going to write my story Phonetics next, and finish up my others over the course of the next few months. After those, who knows. I'm still considering writing a regular teen fiction version of Catfish, edited and formatted better to fit the genre. 

But I really would like to thank you all for everything. Thank you for going on this - dare I say- 'journey' with me, it's been incredible, and please please feel free to private message me at any time if you ever want to talk or write together or anything, I want to be your friend because you've done so much for me. I'm also on tumblr.

Goodbye, you guys, but hopefully I'll see you in the comments section of another story. 

all the love,

emily.
