Trigger Warnings
Please be sure to read this! It’s important.
As said earlier, this story does have talks and themes of mental illnesses/health and trauma, including depression, anxiety, domestic/verbal abuse, self-harm, and s*xual harassment, which are all heavy topics and based on my personal experiences. I wanted to write a story to spread awareness and show how mental illnesses/trauma can affect a person and their daily life. I will also just say that this is NOT a story where the LI swoops in and magically puts an end to the MC’s pain and suffering. To me, that’s very unrealistic and offensive, and I would never do that. I will ALWAYS put a Trigger Warning and an option to SKIP when there is a triggering or sensitive scene. I will also be sure to NOT go too in-depth in any of these themes, as I do not want to break Episode guidelines or accidentally trigger someone. This story is very close to my heart and I am writing some of these triggering themes in the ways I have personally experienced them. If you feel any of these themes in this story are portrayed inaccurately/offensively, please don’t hesitate to educate me and tell me how I can correct them! It is, and will never be my intention to trigger someone else because of the way I have written about my/Ellen’s trauma.
Sneak Peeks
Chapter 1
Q&A
Q: Can we customize the main characters?
A: Unfortunately, no. This story is about Ellen and Andrew, and they are created how I imagine them to be. This story also contains custom overlays, which would make things a lot harder for me if I were to include CC.
Q: How many Love Interests are there?
A: While Andrew is the main love interest, I wanted to give the reader an option to decide who Ellen would end up with, though that’s based on character points 
. I was planning on only having 3, but I am still unsure if I should include season 1’s female LI in the final choice, seeing as I currently have no plans for her to be in the final seasons. I may change my mind on her though, giving Ellen 2 male LI’s and 2 female LI’s.
Q: How many chapters will this story have?
A: I currently have 3-4 seasons planned out with around 10-15 episodes each, but this all depends on my motivation/ideas. Long story short: definitely 40+ episodes.
Q: When will this story be out?
A: I actually have no idea. I am really busy with school most of the time and barely have any to work on TFBU. However, if everything goes according to plan and if I don’t procrastinate (again), it could be out by February (but I wouldn’t get your hopes up since I originally planned for Dec. 2020 and failed. )
