love is just a daydream [Ending Notes]

Chapter Directory
Epilogue 2


ENDING NOTES




This fic has been reposted on Archive of Our Own and Asianfanfics.

Okay, now on to the notes...

Due to the way I layout my fic here on LiveJournal, I wasn't able to add in notes like I was able to on AO3. So here are some of the important notes I needed to share... but forgot, and this also applies to the AO3 and AFF version. I'm so sorry, I'm just too lazy and tired to do it, whether it's right now or in the future.

Chapter 2: I actually made the powerpoint mentioned in this chapter so I could better... describe it in the fic. You can check it out here. It's a very simple powerpoint with some hyperlink actions. LMAO. I've lost my ppt editing/designing skills. Sorry.

Chapter 5: The cartoons mentioned here is basically anime. I didn't want to call it "anime" because this AU is built on a world where brands/names/places/etc that we're used to does not exist.

Chapter 6: If you guessed Joonmyun's favorite anime as Pokemon, then yes, you're correct. I know I just said that everything we know does not exist, but pretend that in Seiocia, they produced a cartoon similar to Pokemon. LMAO, sorry. I just couldn't be bothered to come up with a parody for it due to time constraints.

Chapter 9: In case you don't know Korean, Aegi gom translates to "baby bear" . This is Jongin and Kyungsoo's chosen fetus name.

Epilogue 2: You might be wondering why it isn't there, or why it's not anywhere, and the answer is, it hasn't been written yet. Right now, it only exists in my head (and padlet). It's a very rough draft and I don't know when I'll be able to write it... or if I'll ever be able to write it. But until then, this story is marked complete.

Where's Baekhyun? SCREAMS. I'm so sorry. Originally, ChanBaek were supposed to be a couple in Venocia, but I needed to give Jongdae a best friend so I picked Chanyeol over Baekhyun. I didn't notice that Baekhyun was missing until after I'd written Chapter 13. :c When I realized this, though, I began formulating a plan on how he could appear. Unfortunately, he won't be appearing... until I've written Epilogue 2. Once again, I'm sorry. BAEKHYUN IS FINALLY IN THE FIC!!! To make up for his lack of appearance, here's a little tidbit about his life in the fic. He still goes on to date Chanyeol in this universe, and they definitely get married. Chanyeol ends up living in the castle and starts working there. (I originally thought as a chef, but I can't really remember what career I gave him... sorry, too lazy to check rn.) Baekhyun gets promoted from nanny, to private tutor, to personal attendant. His daughter with Chanyeol ends up marrying Joonmi when they grow up!

I have a padlet which contains all of my notes from when I began building this AU. It has everything. Please be warned that this contains my whole story outline so it will contain spoilers for Epilogue 2. You can now view this padlet without fear of spoilers. There is nothing more I can add to this story. If you have questions about the Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics... that I couldn't fully explain, it's probably there. If you're interested in just seeing my notes, you can also check it out.

If you have any questions though, feel free to drop by my ask and I'll try my best to answer them. ^^ ALSO! I've opened a ko-fi account, so if you ever feel like supporting me by buying me coffee, either because you love me or my fics, then feel free to do so!




Now onto the thank yous.

First, I'd like to thank the lovely Joanna for offering to beta for me. You were so lovely and all your comments were so fun to read. I really wanted to reply to each and every one of them. Thanks for your wonderful suggestions and for making this fic even better than before. ๐Ÿ’™ This fic wouldn't even be here if it weren't for you, so thank you.

Second to my first betas, [livejournal.com profile] 130mood and [livejournal.com profile] mara_ciro, thank you for all the work you put into my fic. You both did so great and helped me so much, and I couldn't have done it without you guys too.

To everyone who's read this before and/or now, THANK YOU FOR REACHING THIS FAR! If you've left a comment and/or liked the chapters, or even if you're just silently reading but liked this work deep down inside, thank you! This fic has been everything to me and to see it finally end was sort of weird and yet fulfilling. Seeing "THE END" almost made me tear up because it really felt like I gave life to this fic. I poured my heart and soul into it, and I'm so glad to see how far it has come. To have you all with me through it all has just made the journey even more so rewarding.


Hopefully, this 2017, I can write more and write better.



FIN.
