I suppose here would be an appropriate place to put a message. I do not use author's notes often because they seem to break the flow of the story and I believe that, if I have done my job, I should not have to explain pieces of a chapter.

First of all, thank you to all readers as well as reviewers.

I published my first story two years ago and, at the time, I thought I would only ever post one.

Needless to say, this has been quite fun. I have several more stories in progress and I hope to have another uploaded soon.

For those of you who do not know, I will never begin publishing a story that is not finished. This story was complete before I put out the first chapter and the only thing keeping me from updating faster was my constant proofreading, editing, and formatting.

I hope you enjoyed the story.

I confess, the idea came from another fanfiction that I cannot find at the moment. In it, Azusa is beaten by her fellow bandmates, stabbed (if I remember correctly), has her eyes gouged out, and told that she is to live in the clubroom forever because she wished for them to never leave. I liked the concept but hoped to make it a little less gruesome and more supernatural. If anyone knows which story this is, I will update this message to include the title and author.

As for the story itself, I had intended for it to be only one chapter. However, this seemed like too little to describe what was going on. Even after lengthening the storyline and breaking it into several chapters, it was extremely predictable. Because of this, I added the second storyline with Azusa at school where the other bandmembers do not exist. The Alice's Adventures in Wonderland chapters came partly from a desire to make a parody of this story, party from a desire to cast Mugi as the White Rabbit, and mosty from a desire to have Azusa say the 'loli' line.

There have been a few comparisons of this story to Inception which, I must admit, I have never seen. This is not to say that I believe my idea is completely original, but only to say that any similarities were not intended. I suppose I should watch Inception now. I actually based the alternating storylines on an episode of Doctor Who called "Amy's Choice" where the characters are in two different realities and must decide which one is real and which one is fake.

I hope this was entertaining. There were some references and jokes for those of you who are really familiar with the K-ON anime and manga, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass. If not, then I hope the story convinced you to watch and read.

I suppose now I should finish some other story. It will most likely be a Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction that I have been working on. I have wanted to do one for that series for quite some time.

Thank you again,

UPDATE:

Since publishing, I have had a few readers direct me to the correct story mentioned above.

It is "waltz" by some1else. It is a bit heavy, but it is also the reason this story was written.
