Pandora Unleashed

➰

Final Author's Note

Before the epilogue begins, bringing the conclusion to this dual series, I'd like to give out some gratitude to those who have helped me make Pandora Unleashed what it is.

Firstly, I'd like to thank my girls who's permitted me to use their names for some of the original characters. Including, my other friend who gave me the green light to use the name of her book series within the story.
Shey, Vanessa, Cornelia, and Claudine.
Thanks for the help, ladies! You guys are the best!

Moreover, I'd like to give a special shout-out to my ride and die. Words cannot express what a wonderful friend you've been; for always holding my hand when I need to vent or stress about these characters, or simply ping-pong ideas.
Thanks for the patience, Kevin!

The girls in one of my group chats on Twitter (Women4Purity) have encouraged me, motivated, uplifted, and assisted me with ideas.
Thanks for being there, ladies!

Similarly, another person who deserves a special mention is my other lovely friend, who - as an author herself - understands the layers and complexities of characters, and who's good at reminding me of the core elements of the story.
Thank you for the many conversations and feedback.
The story wouldn't be what it is without you, Nikia!

Secondly, while on the topic of feedback, I'd like to give my sincerest thanks to the members of Bangtan Writers HQ (former and current) beta readers who helped make some of the chapters prettier.
These are Andrea, Ashley, Chelsea, Jasz, Jess, Kari, Natasha, and Samm.

Including Cici, who edited the shit out of the last twelve chapters.

Thirdly, I'd like to give a brief shout-out to my computer for never crashing on me.
Google too whenever my English wasn't Englishing, and for the shit ton of research I had to look up (pretty sure I'm on the FBI's watchlist).

Fourthly, the WARMEST thanks to every single reader who decided to embark on this series.
Especially, to the day ones, who followed the story when it was first published on Twitter.
I apologize for the many breaks and the slow as fuck updates. I can't begin to understand how you guys can show me so much grace, patience, and kindness.
Believe me when I say that there has NEVER been a moment where I've taken it for granted.
In all seriousness, I've used you guys as a motivator to return even though there were times when I wanted to quit... So glad I didn't!
Truly from the bottom of my heart, thanks for reading the stories.

Thank you for the votes.
Thank you for the kudos.
Thank you for the DMs.
Thank you for the comments.
Thank you for sharing the stories.
Thank you for participating in the polls on Twitter.
Thank you for sticking it out.
If you're a recent reader, thank you for starting!
Thanks to my silent readers too!

You're all amazing!
I have the best readers!

Lastly, I hope I kept my promise and gave you a story that's rich in authenticity.
Genuinely hope you felt entertained and had a happy reading.

I appreciate every one!
Thanks for being part of this journey!

Without further ado, I present to you the final chapter of Pandora Unleashed...
