Seeing as I never replied to your comments individually through the chapters, I thought I'd use this chance to do that now & thank you all for the support & encouragement you gave me.
I know for a fact that I never would have been able to complete this had it not been for all the likes & comments I received.
I tried to include everyone but seeing as some of you didn't comments & other comments were only a few words, I thanked only some commenters.
So for those of you who I missed out, a very big thank you to all of you.
This is quite a lengthy acknowledgements post, so for those of you who just want to see my reply to you, hit Ctrl + F, type your name in the white search box & if I've replied to you, it should come up.
But first & foremost, some very special thank you's to my jaanus:
Sai - I have so much to thank you for! The siggy, your amazing comments, your encouragement & support. I'll always be grateful. And of course, congratulations on being the first commenter for my last chapter! It was a close race between you, Sanya & Annie. Thank you sis.
Sanya - Pod, what can I say? Sometimes it was like you could read my mind, you commented as soon as I updated! Too bad Sai beat you to the first comment on the last chapter! Thanks so much my jaan-e-mann.
Sunni - I know you've been ill & busy lately, but thankyou for always making sure you comment & always being there for me.
Shreya - I hope you caught up with the rest of the FF! (you did, right? Lol) but thanks so much for your encouragement & compliments. I'll always be thankful to you.
Annie - My partner in crime! I love how you made the effort to comment on every chapter! My writing isn't that good but thank you for your amazing compliments! I wish you every success with your new FF, I'll be there for you every step of the way (that sounds a bit stalkerish, lol) but you know what I mean, after all we're twins, right?
Hima - You're out from under your rock! You probably won't have caught up with the other updates so this will confuse you, but I shall thank you in advance.
Iqra - even with your hectic life, you never failed to comment & I always enjoyed reading them! Thank you so much for your support & love!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sameeha786 - thankyou for your encouragement for my first chapter, & also mentioning my FFs as favourites! It means a lot!
drashshree100 - a billion thank you's would not be enough for your consistent & interesting comments! I always looked forward to your comments & truly loved reading them, thank you!
Nanthini9 - have you ever considered a career in being a pyschic? Because you read my mind - you twigged the Secret Garden inspiration when no one else did! And your analysis of Brij being an annoying, pesky weed was completely accurate.
smallville - apologies that your future update predictions on a Maaneet wedding didn't work out! But they got engaged so that's kinda close, right?
--Shika-- - I hope your sister was happy with the ending! You mentioned you liked sad endings, but I think Maaneet suffered enough pain in MS for him to cruelly lose Geet.
Dilsay - I loved your analysed & in depth comments! Thank you!
MaaneetLuverr - you noticed the small details in every chapter! And as a self confessed skimming reader of FF updates, that means a lot! So thank you!
sharmake11 - your unique comments with your love of graphics always made me smile!
-afsha- - some of your long comments were truly enjoyable!
humz_786 - another long commenter! Me love! I'm so glad you enjoyed the ending, thank you for your never ending support.
cyum321 - if Maan ever needs someone to kill the Handas, I shall refer him to you. You're a mortal enemy of Brij & Darjee, & rightly so. They were animals.
Krishnaluv94 - your unique comments to sum up updates always made me smile, thank you so much.
raj-202 - a big fan of a Maaneet wedding. You can be their pundit.
Maaneet_Deewani - your encouragement to include more Maaneet urged me to do so, so thank you!
namita25 - your summary of Darjee being the scum of the earth was spot on, I couldn't have put it better myself.
ninand - your comments filled with questions always inspired me to tie up loose ends, so thank you for helping my FF make more sense!
mrk_1 - your reassurance of my FF running smoothly when I had doubts was really helpful.
ritzy_09 - thank you for mentioning MS as a favourite FF! Your amazing & in depth comments are something I will always remember.
tazzo - another pyschic! You recognised my love for HP Maan & Geet!
PerfectYaRav - your long comments & encouragement always made me smile. Thanking you.
NAVSHAL - you left a random yet lovely poem on one of my updates, something about having a nice day? Anyways, thanks for that.
XXaquafireXX - your quench for romantic Maaneet scenes compelled me to include more! Thank you.
pickachu - thank you for always liking my updates. It means a lot.
puth - you win the prize for being my favourite commenter, hands down! Your comment on Maan invading Geet's house because he likes her food made me laugh, you always saw the light hearted side in seriousness, which is something that was always enjoyable to read.
aashluvsmaan - an enemy of my cliffhangers which happen to be my best friend! & of course, the unforgettable mention of Maan's tight trousers. I had mercy on him in the FF as in the serial his poor legs can't even breathe!
tanya-vi - I can never forget your comment when you mentioned that I made you cry during an update. That satisifed me - not your tears of course, but the fact that my writing can move someone emotionally.
Maaneet_09 - a silent reader revealed! I'm glad my updates made you comment!
itsreallyreal - I appreciate you liking my FF, especially seeing as you mentioned that you have high standards of a fanfic. It means a lot.
ixray - your honest feedback is something I really admire. Constructive criticism is always helpful, so thank you.
-Jessi- - your love of sad endings almost made me kill Geet off! Apologies that you didn't get the ending you wanted but I hope their happy ending somehow satisifed you.
*Re-introducing the legend that is Kuldeep Singh (for those of you who forgot, he's the man hired by Maan to pose as an electoral candidate while prising signatures off Darjee & Geet for Geet' land.)
The Kuldeep Singh fanclub - ninand, puth, ursrithika, drashshree100, shalinisaran89, SapphireFlames, zahra15
Maaneet_Deewani - yet another pyschic! You guessed that all was not well in Delhi when Vicky kept calling Maan. & my coin saved me from a fate of rotten tomatoes, phew!
bubblygal - some useful yet short piece of advice for Maan & Geet - run!
sekhonpuneet - wanted Maaneet in Delhi as Mr & Mrs Khurana. Well you can imagine that they live happily ever after.
*When Maaneet got 'mysteriously' ambushed in the jungle you all knew it was Brij! Mind readers!
Lov26 - thank you so much for your compliment on how MS should be turned into a serial. It's not really that good, but maybe we could pitch to Star One for Geet Season 2?
kadydeep - thank you for your reassurance when I had my doubts.
smanchik - another silent reader steps out!
cutealy - compared me to evil Pammi for breaking Maaneet up when Geet was dragged back to HP! Oh dear. Hopefully now you can compare me to the loving Dadima for bringing them back together.
seemamary - your confusion over Maan's lack of usage regarding his sources in Delhi inspired me to bring in Vicky & Nakul when Maan wanted to get out of the jungle!
*Rajji Handa's fanclub - members - all of you! Definetly my favourite character to write, her courage, endless love & admiration for her Geet di makes her a truly memorable character.
lil.mizz.smexii - I'm glad you discovered this FF! I didn't want it to end either but if it continued, it would have dragged on & gotten boring.
Desigirl144 - as a fan of your FFs, it meant a lot when you complimented me on mine! Thank you!
preethia - Brij has sat nav style skills for finding Maaneet. But one good thing came from him - he brought Maaneet together. Had they not have been running away from him, they wouldn't have confessed in that hut & kissed.
ammu5 - thankfully I was spared from being killed by you (& pretty much everyone else) as I gave them a happy ending!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A final thank you to each & everyone of you for being with me throughout my journey of Midnight Sun.
I'm going to be mostly inactive now, due to Ramadhan, but I shall be back in a month's time with Gharwali, Baharwali.
And maybe a new fanfic. Or short story. We'll see.
But for now, take care, God bless & I love you all.
Fozia, 'xoxo.
