#wmoof comments

Hey, Nonny! I am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply to this. First, let me say THANK YOU! Re-reads are the BEST compliment, and I cannot believe you've done it twice for wmoof! So, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Now on to your question...

I have given it some thought, but I highly doubt I'd ever write an epilogue or future-take. Once I'm done with a fic and have moved on from the verse, it's really difficult for me to come back to it. However, I will give you some of the thoughts and ideas I've had about what happened after.

I imagine they would have gone back to Emma's homestead, finding it just as she'd left it, so they could wait out the winter there together. It would have been cramped and difficult, but they would make the best of it until the thaw forced them to come to some decisions. Knowing they'd want to stay together, but realizing the homestead would not be sufficient, they all agree to spend the spring and summer searching for a new place to call home. When Alice comments how she's always wanted to see the ocean, they decided to head that direction and see what fate might have in store.

Reaching the ocean, they find the legendary town of Misthaven (which I briefly mentioned in the fic). Thanks to the leadership and resourcefulness of the town's leaders, Misthaven was not as severely ravaged by the pestilence as other places were. It is here that Killian finds a true community of people who have their neighbor's interests at heart. The kind of place his parents had hoped to provide before corruption took over. He, Emma, and Alice find their home there, befriended by David (the town sheriff) and his wife Mary Margaret (who parents had been the former leaders), while Robin finds new love with the town's mayor ;o)

I think Killian and Emma would have had a child of their own at some point. Maybe more than one, but I'm terrible at deciding genders and names for CS kids unless it serves the plot in some way. What is certain is that Alice would adore them, and dote on them, and take them on adventures, never leaving them out... except for when she and Margot go off to have adventures of their own when they get older ;o)

I'm sorry it isn't a full on epilogue or one shot, but I hope it helps answer some questions or makes your experience with the fic richer in some way. If you have any other thoughts or questions about wmoof, or any of my other works, please do not hesitate to send me an Ask. I LOVE receiving asks from readers, especially on older works. It's so nice to know they are still being read and enjoyed.

Thank you again, Nonny!!

2) I like it when a writer is able to make love or hate a character because they make them as real as possible and you've done just that, something not everyone is good at. thank you for your hard work and dedication to bring joy to our live (well at least mine) I'm always excited whenever you post something new! lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

I don’t think I have enough words to express how much I appreciate this. Actually, I’m not sure I have any words at all. This has left me a little speechless.

I honestly wasn’t sure if people would actually want to read it, given the film and the fact that I was putting Eloise/Gothel and Alice in it, which can be rather polarizing for some. The response has been more than I could have imagined and I cannot thank y’all enough. And thank you for reblogging each update even though you weren’t reading it yet! I can’t believe you did that, but I appreciate it so much!

Your comments really mean the world to me and I know I’ll come back to this post again and again to read over them whenever I’m feeling a bit down on my writing. Thank you for reading and sharing my works! I hope to have some new stuff for you soon.

Thank you, Nonny!

It means so much to hear how much you enjoyed the fic. This one had some terrific challenges, and I am really happy with how it all came together. I so appreciate you, and all the other readers who followed along and stuck with me as I posted. I’m also excited for those who are diving in now that it is complete. 

Hey there, Nonny!

As always, never say never, but as of right now I have no plans to. The story is complete as is, ending as I intended it to. If that changes, I’ll let you know.

Hey there, Nonny Jess!

Thank you for that comment! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. I had hoped to wrap it all up with Chapter 10, but once I got to the point where I ended the chapter, I realized the thing would have been a monster in word count. (And yes, I know some of you wouldn’t have minded, but... too bad!) So, now we’ve got one chapter left and I’m hoping to get it to y’all before Thanksgiving.

Jo Jo Rabbit was fantastic? Good to know! I rarely get the chance to see movies in the theatre, but that was one I was thinking of trying to see. Usually I wait for Redbox or for it to become available on streaming, but I think both my husband and me would like it, so maybe next date night??

Thanks for stopping by again! Always nice to meet a kindred spirit! 

Hey, Nonny! Thank you so much for checking in about wmoof. I’m sorry I’ve kept y’all waiting so long for an update.

Good news: I’ve got some of it written, and if all goes to plan this could be the final chapter.

Bad news: I have lost the motivation to word. Real life and some online unpleasantness have interfered with my enthusiasm for writing lately, and I know better than to try and force the words.

I will finish it, though! You can count on that. I’m hoping this lull will pass soon, and I can get it and my csrr fic wrapped up by December. I’d like to end the year with no posted wips looming over me (except Avowed, but I don’t really count it since it’s more a series of connected drabbles).
