Chapter 14: Goals! Goals! Goals!
Hey everyone! Wisteria here, taking a quick break from my endless tea-fueled writing sessions to chat with you all.
I have to say, the response to this story has been absolutely incredible! When I first started chronicling this new Izuku's adventures in the MHA universe, I wasn't sure how people would react on my take.
Reaches for my tea cup, only to find it empty... again
But you all have been amazing! The theories, the discussions, the way you've embraced characters like Camie and picked up on all the little details I've been weaving in... squeals and hugs Stitch plushie It's like you're all living in this world right alongside me!
Speaking of living in this world... grins mischievously while pouring more tea I've been thinking about how to thank you all for the incredible support. So! I've decided to do something special. For every 400 powerstones we hit, I'll release a bonus chapter!
Laughs while settling back in chair
I mean, not that I'm worried about having to write too many extras. There's no way you all could hit that milestone more than once, right? winks That would be crazy! Could you imagine me having to write double chapters every day? nervous laughter while glancing at my already overwhelming schedule
But seriously, thank you all. Your enthusiasm makes all those late nights worth it. Every comment about Bang's teaching methods, every theory about Toshiro's true origins, every squeal over Camie's not-so-subtle crush... it all makes this story feel so much more alive.
Pulls out fresh notebook, already covered in doodles
And speaking of alive... grins You haven't seen anything yet. I've got so many plans for where this is going. The USJ? That's just the beginning. Wait until you see what happens when-
Quickly slaps hand over mouth
Nope! No spoilers! Bad Wisteria! bonks self on head with notebook
Anyway! Keep those theories coming, keep supporting each other in the comments, and maybe... just maybe... prove me wrong about those bonus chapters? winks
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some writing to do. These characters aren't going to torture themselves! Well, technically Izuku kind of does, but that's different...
Pulls hood back up determinedly
Plus Ultra, everyone! Let's see what kind of chaos we can create together!
Now, where was I... ah yes, that scene with Camie's apartment furniture arrangement... grins evilly
(Author's Note: The above is just me being silly and breaking the fourth wall a bit. The real story continues in the next chapter! And yes, I'm serious about those bonus chapters... even if I might regret it when you all prove me wrong about hitting that milestone multiple times! 😅)
Sticks head back out
Wait, did I just write my own author's note in character? facepalms This is what happens when you spend too much time in story-world, folks! The lines start to blur!
Actually disappears this time, muttering about plot points and character arcs
(Real Author's Note: Seriously though, thank you all. This journey's just beginning, and I can't wait to share where it goes next! 💜)
Distant voice from writing cave
I CAN STILL SEE THE FOURTH WALL FROM HERE! STOP BREAKING IT!
Sound of door closing firmly
...
Door creaks open one last time
But really though, 400 powerstones? That's impossible, right? Right???
Door slams shut
THE END
(Of this meta chapter, not the story! The story continues! With actual plot! And less fourth wall breaking! I promise!)
