And so, after just over 2,5 years, I can finally place a definitive, finishing dot behind this story. Everything is the way that I want to have it, everything is in the best presentable way possible for me. For just over 2,5 years have I dedicated my time to the creation of this story. For just over 2,5 years it was one of the most dominant things in my mind.
It all started way, way back in October of 2012, now we are so much later in the future and I have learned just so much about writing in general. The knowledge that was gained during that time shall be put to good use, for I want to make the sequel even better.
Ever since the story surfaced in September of 2013, I was already a year tinkering on it and I was proud on it. But as time went on, my mistakes became apparent to me and the reader. Yet the more chapters got published, the more people liked the story I was telling despite the many flaws. For that, I can’t say thank you enough. Knowing that my writing isn’t topnotch but I still manage to capture the imagination, that’s making it all worth it for me.
I write my stories for one soul reason. Perhaps two. I don’t write for fame and fortune, not at all. I write, because there’s a story that I want to tell. One that I wish to share with every single one of you. The second reason, is a bit more down to earth: it keeps me busy. I love writing, so why shouldn’t I devote about every free minute I have to it?
But Blood Curse Boutique will always hold a special little spot in my heart. It is the one story that changed my writing forever. This is the story that defined my personal style as an author. The one story which turned me into the mind-bending, mentally torturing author that I am today. It’s all because of this tale, that such things have become a reality. And I can’t thank it enough for having done that.
Of course, I also want to thank everybody who has dropped by and even glanced at a chapter. But those who have read the story from beginning to end, are the ones I want to thank with all of my heart. You have been there for the long run, all chapters of it and during all of its publication weeks. Again, I can’t say thanks enough.

Though one question might still be remaining, is there going to be a sequel? It’s a thing I’ve considered for a long time really, coming up with plotlines that make the story just as interested as this one, but even throwing in a new twist or two. The answer to the question, is a wholehearted yes, there’s going to be a sequel.
It is as Rarity said: even though every book has an end, it doesn’t mean the story is over. And from the looks of it, this story is far from over. Lean back, close the eyes and take a deep breath and... imagine.
