I never thought I would do this. I know we aren't supposed to do this but I hope you'll forgive me. I'll take this down in a little bit when I think enough people have seen it. And I'll be sending this out to all my stories so I'm sorry for the repeats. I am going on an indefinite hiatus from writing fanfiction. There are a lot of factors that have led up to this. Some of you know them, some of you don't but they date back to January of this year and have been steadily snowballing towards this moment. You have no idea how difficult this is for me. I hate letting people down. But I also hate feeling like a failure. This was supposed to be fun. And it was until I left the bubble of FFnet. When I branched out to the various fic communities that's when problems started. I honestly wish I had just stayed here happily oblivious but I can't change the past.
I want each and every one of you to know how important you are to me. Some of you have been with me the entire two years now; some of you have shared with me intimate details of your life; some of you have left me some of the most heartfelt reviews and messages that brought me to tears in a good way. But the bad has come to outweigh the good. Still, please know that you all mean the world to me.
I will still read and review fanfiction. In fact this will give me more time to read. Something I've been very lax about lately. I will still do beta work. I'm around. I won't be abandoning my account or the internet. If you want to talk I'm here. I will not be pulling any of my work. You have my permission to save it to your computers so long as you don't post it anywhere.
I will leave you with a link to what I suppose can be considered my final piece of fanfiction. Of a sorts. You'll see what I mean:
(the link appears to not be working so I'll post it on my profile)
.
Also, for any of you reading my story Resurrection I do have the last chapter written. It's been written for quite some time actually. If you want it just ping me and I'll send it to you.
You have my sincerest apologies and my warmest wishes for all of you.
Hugs and Love,
Z.
P.S. To be clear this means that I will NOT be continuing any of my WIPs at this time. Sorry.
