I will be permanently leaving Tumblr and deleting this blog on September 2, 2021 due to irreconcilable feelings about Tumblr’s rules regarding NSFW content, among other grievances about the website. For any questions, please feel free to contact me!

[July 14, 2017]

One second I’m 11 years old and spending hours online watching videos of The All-American Rejects fantasizing about what I’d say or do if I met them.

Imagine the person you were in 2006 and think about how it compares to the person you are today.

In the blink of an eye, I’m 22 years old at my 4th AAR show. I get 4 picks, one from each member and an extra of Mike’s. Mike himself hands me a setlist immediately after playing because I’d held up a sign that said, “HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY MIKE!” When I met these 2, I couldn’t think of anything to say except “thank you” over and over and over. Their voices were so comforting and they were so kind towards me.

I’m generally not the type to think this way, but with all the good things that have been progressing in my life lately, I can’t help but think that falling into this situation had less to do with luck; it was meant to happen.

I don’t know. I really don’t.

After SM2, I most likely will be closing the series completely. I can’t keep telling this saga forever, as much as I would like to. I have MANY other stories to tell and all of those need funding of their own, which will come from SM2 sales. I can’t logically funnel the sales back into SM again unless I make SO much that I can while still producing other stories beside it. SM is not my entire life.

I think that what gets funded via KS will be what is made in the final game. Anything else after will be minor adjustments or extensions of what we have. If SM2 sells RIDICULOUSLY well to where I pay off my debts and have enough funding to start my other stories, then maybe I can logically agree with funding extra stuff for SM2.

AHhhhhhhhh!!!!! 

My phone sucks. I totally sent you a message via tumblr via my phone and obviously that was a complete fail. 

So here’s the thing.

1) you are far too kind. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

2) I’m going to investigate doing a discount on the paperback copies from the publishing company I use and then when I have the money to buy more copies, I see mine for $10 flat (instead of the $12-$14 with shipping and handling online). 

3) You don’t need to worry about donating money <3 Really, the biggest thing I need is reviews online and then kind of word of mouth stuff, like you telling your friend who you think would like them too <3 

4) Please let me know when you read it! I have lots of cool buttons I can send you (especially from The Openers) and I’d love to send out free merch <3

You’re very welcome, we’re glad you’re enjoying it! :))
