Hello to my dedicated Reader, my beloved Reviewers, and the reason I was able to write in the first place. As you may notice, this isn't a normal chapter. No, it's a memo of sorts, or a letter to you if you wish.
As you can tell, it's been a while since I've posted a chapter of Twin Catastrophy, or any story for that matter. Now I can give you excuse after excuse about work and transferring schools and all that keeping me busy, but truthfully I've lost the drive to write this. Don't get me wrong, I have the entire thing planned out, but to actually sit down and write it….well it's just not there for me anymore. Believe me when I say I've tried, and I really want to finish this small series for you, but…I'd rather give you quality writing then the junk I've been writing for TC.
Part of the reason I've lost the drive for this series is because my focus has been distracted by three other works: It's Complicated (a DracoXOC fic), Shifter (a HarryxOCxDraco fic), and Hopeful Beginnings (a HarryxOC fic). I know, it looks like a lot of work, but I've been working on them in bits and pieces. Now, the name for Hopeful Beginnings isn't set in stone, but both that and It's Complicated take place after the Wizarding War in the TC series universe, running parallel to each other. Lately though, I've been focusing mostly on Shifter, the idea of which was inspired by a book I'm currently reading that has nothing to do with Harry Potter.
But anyways, here's my proposition.
A) I continue focusing on TC, but that most likely would mean that I won't finish book two for a long, long time because chapters will be rare and infrequent.
B) I write the major points that happen throughout TC and post the final epilogue (which I finished a while ago), so that you at least know what's happening. From there I can work on It's Complicated and Hopeful Beginnings or Shifter.
C) I focus solely on It's Complicated and Hopeful Beginnings or Shifter, waiting to finish TC, but possibly spoiling a lot of things with It's Complicated and Hopeful Beginnings because they're like a continuation of the TC series.
Right now, I'm mostly leaning towards B. And with both B or C, there's always the chance that I can go back and work on completing TC the way it should be completed in the future. In the end though, I want to know what you guys think, because when it comes down to it, I write for you, the people who push me to keep writing. I remember telling one of my frequent reviewers something along the lines of 'I love FF because people not only get to read my work, but comment on it too, generally boosting my confidence in my writing.'
So yeah, I want to hear what you guys think. I know many of you would love it if I tried to focus solely on TC, but that would be difficult for me. It's hard for me to focus on a story when one, or in this case, three, other stories are there in the back of my head with ideas for those other fics randomly popping up and interrupting my work. I want you guys to understand that I've been trying my best, but what I've written just isn't worth posting, at least not in my book. So please, understand that I love TC and I wish I could keep working on it, for more reasons than one, but right now, I just don't see it happening.
Feel free to leave a review stating what you think you would like to see me do, or what you want me to do.
Yours Truly,
