Lone [MATURE HS]

Chapter 41

IMPORTANT READ CAREFULLY: Hi everyone. If you've been following my page, you'd know that as of JUNE 1ST, I switched platforms from Wattpad to Patreon. (Please save your negative comments until THE END lol, I've read enough of those and I feel like I need to inform people VERY carefully this time).

1. I've read many negative comments based on things I've previously explained numerous of times because people simply do not read carefully. You will see an end to this version of the story. But in all honesty, my more focused work will be published on Patreon from now on. It's a way for me to take my work more seriously.

2. At first I was thinking of moving Lone entirely to Patreon and finishing it there. But after long consideration, I thought of a strategic way of giving everyone the ending they deserve: 

This chapter in particular reveals a major plot twist that I've been DYING to show you guys. Even though life got in my way, this plotline is insane and I've worked so hard on it. Patreon will have earlier updates and also extended content for some of the chapters. There will be an end to this story on Wattpad, which is soon actually (around 51-52 chapters). But, the Patreon one will move beyond that and most likely extend into a second book. *******

Bottom line: YOU WILL SEE AN ENDING TO THIS VERSION ON WATTPAD. Patreon will contain the extended, edited, and earlier updates for the remaining chapters for Wattpad. The extended story will then continue on Patreon in 64+ chapters.

3. Existing Stories and Chapters WILL REMAIN on Wattpad. I'm not deleting them. I'm not deleting my account. I know the three finished books on this platform are still being read. As for stories like 'Energy', I am not sure what I want to do with it as I'm preoccupied with this one and 'Blueprint'. But I am considering continuing it, so that's no question. 

4. On Patreon I will be compensated for my writing by anyone who subscribes to my books. ($1.99 a month). There's a few reasons I decided not to join Wattpad's Paid Stories:

- You'd pay for "coins" through a little button you see on writers' profiles

- you'd use those coins to have access PER chapter on different books. - depending on how long the book you want to read is, you could end up spending up to $7.99 for a package of "coins"

- In conclusion: If I signed with Wattpad, which is a process I actually do not have the time for, that would be the most likely turnout. You'd have to, essentially, pay per chapter. I didn't like that as it seems ridiculous to have to pay per chapter.

- I wanted to set MY price as low as I could. Be aware that the 1.99 in USD (in U.S Dollars) is also taxed for me and the platform + processing fees already come out of that amount. This is as low as I could make it without doing damage to myself. I know that some international readers are having trouble, but according to Patreon, people from other countries can subscribe through platforms like PayPal. This is something I cannot control, however, so let me know if you have any problems and I'll try my best to help. 

5. LASTLY, please understand that I've been on this website for SIX years, since 2013. I was younger and less responsible for things outside of Wattpad and outside of my writing. But things change with time. I'm giving you guys a well-deserved ending regardless, for all the support and constant loyalty.

It's been a pleasure! This is the last time I'll make an author's note this long lol. I hope to build even half of the amazing community I have on here with Patreon. Thank you, y'all!
