My Little House Guests

Chapter 19: Final Author's Notes

Previous Chapter

I'm overjoyed, yet, at the same time, sad, that my first story has come to an end. It's been a crazy ride for me as I was merely testing the waters that is creative writing. Sure, being a musician, I'll often times write poetry and lyrics, but actual stories? The thought never crossed my mind. I mainly started this as a way to entertain my "Try Anything At Least Once" motto. But damn, I'm glad I did.

I'm thrilled that I've had such great reception from "My Little House Guests". 22 Followers, 127+ Upvotes, 198+ Favorites? I'm still dumbstruck by how well this went over with you guys.

Thank you all so freaking much for your support in this. If it hadn't been for all you guys being supportive of this story and believing in its potential, I probably would never have finished it. Hell, I probably wouldn't be making the announcement that I'm about to make, either. But that's in a bit. There's some more thanks that need to go out.

Thanks to my fiance for supporting my work. I would sit on the couch, loudly clacking away at the keyboard and pestering her about possible plot ideas (The whole Trixie thing was partially hers), while she sat next to me trying to drown out my keyboard noise with Project Runway or Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo. So really, I'm partially thanking her for dealing with me having my face in the computer for a good chunk of my free time.

Also, super special thanks to HadronPony for coming to my rescue roughly halfway through the story and agreeing to be my editor. He's saved my plot from taking this story and sending it in all directions quite a few times, and I've gained some extremely helpful advice from him that's actually bettered me as a writer. I enjoyed working with him.

And now...

ANNOUNCEMENTS

I noticed in the comments from the last chapter that a lot of you are expecting a sequel to Tristan's little tale.

Well, do I have some good news for you.

I present to you all, the next installment in the Tristan Shay Saga:

Making Adjustments

After the events in "My Little House Guests", Tristan Shay wakes up in Equestria, where he is overjoyed to be reunited with the one he loves and the friends that changed his life. Now his life really changes when he immediately makes the discovery that he no longer has opposable thumbs. Or clothes, for that matter. And there's some weird thing in the middle of his head. A horn? Seriously?

Tristan has a lot of figuring out to do now that he's become a pony, like how to deal with not having fingers. And how to walk on all fours and use that nifty little thing on his head. And whose idea was it to all of the sudden rip Tristan out of his world and throw him into theirs? What about his love for Twilight?

At least he's still got that flowing head of hair going for him.

Yeah, that's the exact description I'm gonna use.

That little contest I was telling you guys about? Yeah, that's still going on. If you aren't a Watcher and you don't get my Blog posts, I'll explain.

I'm tossing in the names of all of my Watchers into a hat (again, yes, a real hat) and picking one. Whoever I grab, if they so choose to participate, their OC will play a small part in an upcoming story. They can pick their profession, attributes, personality, the whole shebang. But some of you know this already, so you're wondering what the announcement for this is.

Well, I'm sure you've figured out that "Making Adjustments" is my only foreseeable upcoming fic.

Which means it's kinda obvious that the winner's OC will be featured in "Making Adjustments"

But the announcement is that I'm extending the deadline to Midnight US Eastern Time to gather all the names. I'll announce the winner in a blog post tomorrow. Again, you don't have to participate if I get your name. I'll just draw another, no biggie. I just think this would be a fun idea.

Well, again, thank you all so much for your support. I can't wait to start writing "Making Adjustments", and I'm sure you guys can't wait to read it. Keep being awesome and I'll see you later!
