Badriya As-Sahra is sick of piling up camel dung and ...Afterword
Do you have the feeling when you write a story you know better than what you've previously written that you don't want it to end? At least anytime soon...
That's what I felt as I wrote the last words of FFtC's ending. Hence the dumb ending that you just read. I know, I know. I hate writing endings. But then again I hate writing long-ass stories so I have to end them somehow.
"Hey Akeila, so does that mean there's a sequel?". Well, no and maybe. This is the end of Badriya and Ayaz's story until further notice. I might write a spin-off taking place in the same world. I can't say for certain what it will be about so I can't tell you what it is. Makes sense? Besides, the story (just like everything else I'm writing at this point) needs a whole lot of editing. Halfway through writing, I realized that parts of the story needed serious T.L.C. That's something to keep me occupied for a while.
(Anyway, I think this is the part where I say some tear-jerking/inspiring words about how hard yet worth it was to write this story and all. . .)
This story has come a long way from its small beginnings as a novella for ONC. I've always thought that it wouldn't stay just a novella because the world-building here was something I wanted to expand on, but I didn't know how to start. Fast forward to as I'm writing this note, and I don't think I'm as attached to a storyline as FFTC's (sorry The New Olympians Saga lol). It's still a work in progress, but I love where the world of Salym is going.
Of course, none of this was possible without you. Yes you, reader, the one who's reading this right now. I wouldn't even have the courage to publish my stories in this little orange app if there weren't people like you giving them a chance. Wattpad has become my corner of craziness where I can freely share things without feeling judged. So, this smol, shy seer wants to say thank you.
I'll end this afterword with a big shoutout to Exequinne! It was about time I did this thing XD Your feedback and our friendship have been the best! I can't express my appreciation for you enough. You're one of the few people I met here on Wattpad that made an impression on me. Thanks so much for being the awesome hooman that you are! Long live the supremacae haha
