Well, this is a bit awkward.

Hey guys. You might possibly remember me, just a bit? If you cared enough to click on this in your email notifications, let me start by saying thank you. I'll follow that up with an apology.

This time a year ago, I quit writing fanfiction-which, let me just say, was pretty dumb of me to do-and then a few months later I tried to pick it up again. It just wasn't working. It wasn't trouble with ideas or anything of the sort. Rather, just an inability to be the slightest bit content with anything I wrote. So, I dropped it again. I started writing for myself, but it didn't feel nearly as much fun. I started to realize that I really miss you guys and I left so abruptly.

If you've been following me a while, you might remember the other stories I had up on here. There were around eight multi-chaptered ones if I remember correctly. But one night, I just became so self-conscious and deleted all of them because I truly felt embarrassed of them; the way they were written, the ridiculous plot lines, the dialogue, everything bothered me.

Months later I wanted to try to write fanfiction again. I spent hours working on a fanfiction blog in hopes of it inspiring me to write more, I tried writing about different youtubers, still, nothing. So I really want to apologize to those who earnestly thought I would start writing again. I have made so many friends through this website. Ellie, Stella, Jenna, Mairead, Natalie, Katelyn, and all of the rest of you mean so much to me.

I'm not writing this to say that there's going to be a drastic change and new stories will be in your notifications constantly. But I am saying that I'm ready to start easing back into writing fanfiction for you all. I realized that if I hadn't written fanfiction for that year, I would be nowhere close to where I am now. It's a fun, beneficial hobby. Granted I don't watch youtubers like I used to, I think my general content will stay the same. The Fantastic Foursome, Smosh, Shane Dawson, etc. The keywords of all of this though are for you.

I'll want to write things that you want to read. I'm working on personal things on the side currently, so writing on here will purely be for what you all want to read about. Murder mystery? Cool. School fic? Why not! AU's? Of course. Crazy long stories like Petals on the Wind or the As Long As You're Happy trilogy? I'm more than happy to.

I'm not going to be publishing anything before Summer (I get out of school on the 17th), but please leave some ideas below so I can at least get a head start. I want to write to my best ability for you all. I'm thinking update schedules will be pretty simple. Once or twice a week seems manageable.

Also, please, tell me how you've all been! I remember on old stories (before I deleted them all) there were active reviews from familiar faces and I want to know what's new with you all. As for myself, a lot's changed this past year. But more than anything, I'm in a steady place right now and I'll be a Senior in high school soon, so that's exciting.

Sidenote: the link to my blog is in my profile. There you can find all of my past stories, edits, and even links to some of your fanfiction pages. I take story requests in the reviews on here and in my ask box on Tumblr. If you feel like talking or just want to be friends, that' always welcome as well! Over the Summer, I do plan on doing individual stories for people as well. Though these will not be published on here, but on the blog linked in my profile.

I've missed you all and look forward to start writing for you all again.

Love Always,

Kate.
