Author's Note (Beginning)

January 14, 2020 --- August 5, 2021

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my first Webnovel, "See You in Sunny Dreams"! It has been a year and a half in the making, and I'm excited to post it as an entry in this year's WSA contest (Royal Romance). The two main couples are WLW and NBLM with a (bickering, married) MLM side couple.

*ABOUT ME:*

This isn't the first thing I've written, but it is the largest project I've completed! I have several poems and short stories (mostly sci-fi and romance) that I've published in my school's literary magazine. (I won't share those publicly because my real name and location are attached to them, though.) I'm basically the nerd stereotype with the random extracurriculars I do, but I also watch some dramas, read some webcomics, and listen to tons of k-pop.

*ABOUT THE RELEASE SCHEDULE:*

The word count comes in at around 174,000 words for this! It was originally 39 chapters as I meant to release it in a traditional novel format. However, I have divided the chapters into individual scenes and groups of scenes as most chapters were way over 3,500 words in their original iterations. (One chapter broke 6,700 words! What was I thinking?)

One complete chapter will be released a day in its separate parts (with a few exceptions, such as the first and tenth chapters). The first part will be released at 10:00 AM CST, the second will be at 11:00 AM CST, and so on until all parts are uploaded. I will note any other interruptions to the uploads schedule in my notes. (School is going to start kicking my butt in the middle of the release...) These times are approximate. I am not a computer as much as I would like to be--even with the scheduling function on here--because I tend to re-edit things two minutes before hitting the publish button.

The story has two major sections, divided by plot and tone, but there will be no break between them. The first (Easy Come) revolves around the main romance plot and is comedic. The second (Easy Go) is about the fantasy elements of the story and veers towards being more dramatic.

*CONTENT:*

Because Webnovel doesn't seem to have italics (or bolding or underlining or highlighting or...), I'll just use asterisks for italics since there are a *lot*.

Also, the story takes place at a time roughly analogous to 1815-1825 in terms of technology and some terminology. All characters and settings are fictional, and any resemblance to the real world is purely coincidental.

Alongside this, characters will do shitty things because they are people! Don't let the first volume deceive you. It is up to you as the reader to decide how you feel about the events. (On that note, I don't necessarily condone everything that happens.)

Here's the stuff related to triggers.

In volume one (Easy Come), there are only innuendos, referenced violence, and cursing. I don't plan on marking any of these things.

For volume two (Easy Go), there are a lot more warnings. (I typically only mention heavier topics without going into detail, but the story certainly has its *moments*.) I'll include them in the notes of the previous chapter/section if they are significant with a tiny summary at the bottom of the chapter in question.

*SOCIAL MEDIA:*

Instagram and Tellonym: @dreamver2 (when Instagram decides to not lock me out...)

I appreciate any and all comments and reviews, even negative ones! (Really, don't be scared to provide feedback. I won't get mad unless I have people calling me/characters slurs for no reason. In fact, I'd be very happy to get some constructive criticism!)

I also like questions! Ask me anything in the comments, even if you just want to know what kind of juice a character likes! (Maybe not that, please... I haven't thought about it.)

If you read all the way through this (or are just a reader of my novel), thank you so much! I hope you all enjoy the story. Happy reading! Please vote or leave a review if you like it and have a moment to do so!
