I don't think I even have to say how much I love hearing from all of you. Knowing that you like my work, hearing your compliments and comments, it really makes it all worthwhile. Thank you.
And a love-filled thank you to my husband who reads and supports everything I do, even if he hasn't seen the anime and has almost no idea of what's going on. :)
End notes:
So, yes, I will be writing a sequel about the second year. However, I need to finish "The Lost Child" first. Turns out I can only focus on one story at a time after all. ... sighs ... That will probably take me the rest of the summer, so don't expect the sequel until fall.
And here is where I insert an obligatory plug for my novels. Actually, it makes sense this time since a lot of you are new readers and haven't been forced to read an advertisement yet. Anyway, I have two published science-fiction novels, so if you like my writing style, you may want to check them out. Details about them are in my profile.
Hopefully I'll see all of you later. Until then, please enjoy this "trailer" for "Rules: The Second Year". (Title and scenes are subject to change.)
Unknown female character #1 : Kira doesn't just take lives. He kills hope. And that's why I'll never support him.
xXx
Elijah: Did you ever stop to think, Light, that if you hadn't killed the FBI agents, it would have taken me much longer to find you? If I found you at all.
xXx
Light: You're a bitch.
Unknown female character #2: Thank you. That means I'm doing something right.
xXx
Light: None of this matters. Did you forget? There's still one Death Note locked in the investigation headquarters.
xXx
UFC #1: It'll be okay. Friends fight. He'll forgive you.
Elijah: I don't know if he will this time. I'm losing him. And if I lose him, I'll lose myself.
xXx
UFC#2: Kira absolutely deserves the electric chair. I just wish I could be there to see it. Bzzt!
Ethan: You are one scary woman, you know that?
xXx
Light: I wish Elijah would come back to me.
Elijah: What do you mean, Light? I'm right here.
Light: No, you're not Elijah. You're goddamn Ryuzaki!
(Note: The new girls don't have names yet. The first is a small, Asian girl who draws. The second is a brash, dirty-blonde softball player who likes to speak her mind. I am not sure yet whether they will be love interests or just new people to add a different spin on things. I'll probably let them, and the boys, decide for themselves.)
See you then.
