Rejects // Punk Luke Hemmings

Updated Playlist

Hello all my lovelies! I hope you're all having a wonderful new year and I hope you had a good holiday season too. I also hope you've been getting along alright without Rejects (I'm kinda lost without it to be completely honest.......)

This story has been such an amazing journey and such a huge part of my life. It took so much time and thought, yet I want to put even more effort into the next book because I know I can (hopefully) make it even better than this one. I do apologize for how long it's taking me, but I promise that when I finally get everything together I'll post the prologue, which I've already got written. I know that seems a bit cruel, but I'd say it's better than leaving you all hanging with a simple prologue while I organize everything else.

In the meantime, I really wanted to update this as well, because I miss you all. But I didn't know if I should write something, or if there was another option I could do. Then I remembered something important:

I never updated the playlist for Rejects!

I originally had one that was around 80-ish songs which ended up growing to over 150 or so, which I obviously didn't post. But still, most of the songs on there weren't even very relevant to the story, so I've come up with a revised version! I've gotten it down to around 75 songs with three main ones that are like the theme songs. Those are:

"Unpredictable" by 5SOS
"Open Water" by Blessthefall
"When You Can't Sleep at Night" by Of Mice & Men

I chose these three songs because 'Unpredictable' is written for Kara in the story (obviously), and the other two songs are about a difficult love that's taken a long time to find and a lot of effort to keep up, and that's how I feel Kake (that's the official ship name just FYI) works out in this story.

Now, I'm sure you're all anxious to see it so here you go. Here's the official (updated) playlist:

So now that you've seen all that, I'd like to give you a little status update on Losers. I had a few comments wondering when it would be up, so here's where I am at the moment: It should be up relatively soon. I'm still doing some of the prewriting and character maps and all that fun stuff. Plus I've got a bit more research to do to make it really authentic, but I'm like 80% (ish) of the way through all that. I'd like to say it'll be up within the month, but I can't make any guarantees..... I know it sucks and I really just want to publish it already, but I want to get all the hard work out of the way so I don't have to deal with it as I come to it like I did with Rejects. 

I remember often times I was really stressed with when I would update because there were times when I just didn't have any ideas or whatever, so this approach should hopefully help with that. Plus, this way if I have to go a long time without updating for whatever reason, I won't forget my ideas since I'm outlining most of the chapters. I feel really bad about how long it's taking, but once I start updating it should (hopefully) be worth it. ^-^

To wrap this up, I want to thank you all for everything once again. I want to tell you all how much you mean to me, and how you guys have changed my life so much. I talk about you all the time, and when I mention this story to anyone and say how many reads it has, they're always really surprised. But I think the person who will always be most surprised about the number of reads on this is me. I will never understand how and why I have achieved this amount of recognition, but I will forever be thankful for you, the readers, for supporting me in what I love to do. 

I never expected to get almost 75,000 reads. Never in a million years. I love you all and before I go I want to tell you that as of yesterday (16.01.16) this story was #702 in the Fanfiction category. O-o What even??? YOU ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU. Whether you started this after I completed it, or you were here since the start, almost a year ago, thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you all, even though I've said that so many times, but it's true and I will never stop saying it. 

Until next time.

~CC XOXO

(P.S. there may or may not be another surprise or two. Not really sure, but I do have some things in mind that I might do. Maybe at 100K? If I ever get there? It just recently occurred to me that I might actually get there with REALLY blows my mind......... O_O Idk though. It might be an alternate ending, might be a thing where I incorporate you guys and your writing, the idea for which is inspired my my favorite author....... Like I said, not really sure, but I'll probably do something else. ;D)
