Congratulations! You've reached the finale. :D

Refreshments can be found to your left.

If you've come this far as a reader, I have to thank you.

If you have any interest in continuing this series being continued (or in how it came to be), here's some info:

The idea for I'm No Princess came to me from a friend whom I've lost (through affairs of the average teenage girl, and thus my apathy in writing for the past-- say-- year). (Yeah. For details, see chapter 42. Poor Ino-chan.)

It was supposed to be a self-insert (oh shit) of me, going through fan girl stages with the characters as I, as a fan, had fallen in love with them.

Thankfully, in writing, the character morphed from me and became Takara, a girl admittedly similar to me but contrasting in many ways.

To those who have noted Takara's Mary Sue-ic tendencies, bravo! You have eyes.

I assure you that in the sequel (Queen Of Hearts, that will be better than it sounds) her character will be greatly improved, along with the plot in general.

I have a lot of work to do. I've written more for this than any other fan fic in my writing history and I owe it something excellent.

I'm still fuzzy on exactly what to do, but I have a general idea. (Because fairy tale fantasies get poached in the ninja world.)

I'm not blind and asking for guidance, but this little survey will help me to perfect it to the point of reader acceptability.

That's your cue! If you give a damn, review the answers to these questions for a new and improved fan fiction that will not disappoint.

1) Is there too much Takara? It feels that way.

2) Is Takara too sugary? Do you have trouble believing her?

3) I know there's Mary Sue, but if there's any specific point that has bothered you, point it out.

4) Are there any characters that I've got specifically OOC? Or any that you thought were done well?

5) Motifs, baby. I'm talkin' themes You got an idea? Put it on me.

6) Which was your favorite chapter? Is there a reason why?

7) Which chapter was the worst? (Besides chapter 40, Friends And Family. That one doesn't count, I already know it was terrible.)

8) Too much prose? I feel like I describe emotions too thoroughly that it becomes frilly.

9) I know I'm a bad poet, but what did you think of the little cutesy poems at the end?

10) ONE WORD! Tell me something you'd like in the story in one word.

11) Character spotlight! Anyone you'd like in it more?

12) Comedy! Drama! Angst! Tell me what you want to see. Be choosy.

Tell me what you think.

In the mean time, I redirect you to another fan fiction I'm writing (in the Yuugiou fandom) titled I'm Your Venus.

Much better from the beginning than I'm No Princess, and I've got a solid idea for what I'm doing. It should be done by the end of July, or August, at most.

What can I say? I LOVE YOU GUYS! Even if I don't say it enough Wait for the lose ends to get tied up in the next fic.

Queen Of Hearts? Not quite what it sounds, but y'all have kept me up throughout this.

I bow, I blow kisses, and I make me exit.

Part II will follow the Intermission.
