I wrote those 34 fics even while going through so much in my life. And I went through a lot, so many unexpected things, I was worried I'd quit writing at some point, I was very close to doing so, but I snapped myself back from that and told myself I'll continue because I love Santino and John, and I won't let anyone take that dedication and love away from me.

My love for this ship started all the way back while I was in middle school, I think I was 7th grade? I'm not sure. Either way a lot younger than now. And they followed me all the way through the last years of middle school, through the whole 4 years of high school and now I'm a second year of college. So yeah, they've been with me for a very long time, probably 8 or 9 years. I really got attached to them and especially Santino, he became my favorite character as in THE favorite character. I love putting these two into different scenarios, AUs and anything I think of. I like to think I'm creative X). Also, all this time I've been writing on my phone! I find it easier for myself to write on my phone, also I can write anywhere lol, I used to write when I was college as well, that was fun.

It's been a long journey of reaching this goal. There's been happy moments and sad moments that will forever stick with me. I hope it'll eventually be more happy moments! I hope to get better at writing overall, I think I can do better, there's always room for improvement.

I also know I write things that is not to everyone's taste. That's okay, we are all different. I really don't mind as long as people are kind and respectful towards me. I really wanna continue writing them and improving my writing overall. I have so many ideas for these two!

So yes, this is a big deal to me. I'm honored. I'm so happy I did this, I love these two so much, they've been a big part of my life, through the worst and best moments in my life. They're my comfort characters, I know it sounds weird considering who they are, but it's just like thst for me :P. I will also try to draw more, draw them.

I write Santino x John because I love them. I know that ship isn't popular anymore and it gets discouraging seeing so little kudos and bot/scammers comments. But I keep writing for Santino and John because I love them and I want to continue doing something I love for the characters I love despite the low interaction. These two have a special place in my heart and I'm so glad I was able to create things for them.

I'm proud of my process. And I'm still here ^^
