*awkward wave* Haha... Hi, everyone...!
Oh boi
here we go
SO-uhm.. yeah. I'm back. Again. Kind of?
Oh, Lord, guys I just can't tell you all enough how much I missed this site. I've been receiving and reading all of your heart-warming messages, reviews, and PMs wishing me well and honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better community of followers and it hurts me deeply that I let you all down. I made promises I couldn't keep, and I just wanna let you guys know that that isn't like me AT ALL.
So, I should probably explain;
About two years ago (back when I was 16), I got involved into a crowd a shouldn't have been around for a girl my age. One thing led to another and in the end I only ended up damaging my family's trust and ultimately lost all my actual friends and close contacts. For a while, I got really depressed and suicidal and such that I decided to give up on writing altogether for a year because...honestly, I just didn't see a point. Later on down the line, my computer malfunctioned and I totally lost any way of reaching this site and there was no way my parents were about to buy me a new one so I had to save up for one.
I did get a new computer, but even then I just didn't have the motivation to write, nor could I enjoy the things I once enjoyed like Fairy Tail and such.
Anyway, fast-forward to a new school and new life and things seem to be going pretty okay. Trust is still an issue and we faced other obstacles regarding other family members but other than that, things are pretty solid. I'm not suicidal anymore and I've actually really started investing myself in art and my stories and its been really helping me as a person as has finally given me a reason to be motivated. Every time I checked my email, I still saw all the reviews and comments people were leaving, so I decided to try to log into my account and as it turned out... I was actually locked out. I tried countless times to renew my password, maybe change my email, Idk I literally tried everything I could. So, I just kind of gave up on it, but I still could see all the activity that was going on within it, especially around this story, Love Scorched.
Guys, I honestly have NO CLUE how this story blew up the way it did. Like, it's insane! It isn't even that good, people, haha! It started out as a simple mindless drabble that just morphed into a full blown story because I had the extra time, and I even got a message about wanting Love Scorched to be part of some big time fanfic contest or whatever. Like...WHAT?!
Honestly, it's crazy how I look back now and think about how much my writing had actually improved. Yeah, I gave up writing for like, a year, but then I went back to writing in my own original stories and now that I'm older (im 18 now) I've come to see and appreciate just how far I've come..and I especially appreciate you all. I know if it weren't for all of you, my story wouldn't be as popular as it was. Is? Idk, I don't think its all that popular anymore lolol
Anywho... It took me a while to get back into the anime community as a whole. Or, to be exact, the fanfic community. It wasn't until one of my best friends (and loyal follower of my stories) finally was like "hey, did you know that FT finally ended?" and to my surprise I was FuCKiN sAD, OKaY? I was heartbroken that one of the very first animes I'd ever watched was finally OVER (or at least the Manga was idk about the anime). So, I started getting back into it and goddamnit, Liset, thanks to you I ended my night in tears.
*ahem*
But I digress...
I wouldn't say anime as whole completely stayed out of my life. I started to play this game called Mystic Messenger. For those of you who don't know what it is, just know that it's an otome app that changes lives, okay? Okay. I was addicted to that for a good while, and I even started reading this manwha called (brace yourself) Killing Stalking. And, if you don't know what KS is...
save yourself the trouble and just don't read it. Just. Just don't.
So, yeah, I was very active in those two things and what ended up happening was that I decided to start a new MysMes fanfic. A fanfic that showed off my newly developed skills as a writer. And it wasn't until earlier tonight I was like, "Hm... lemme just try one more time.." and then, by the grace of the gods, here I am now...
So, I should probably put a disclaimer up now that no, I will not be continuing with Love Scorched or will I be writing anymore Fairy Tail Fanfics anytime soon. I'm not saying I won't, but I'm not saying I will either...
I will also be putting this account to rest. Its served me well, and I have lots of fond memories here but... Its just my choice. I will no longer be active on this account, BUT I will be putting up a new account called RadleyWrites soon. That's where i'll be publishing my new MysMes fanfic and updating it there.
So sorry to disappoint all of you. I just feel like this is what needs to happen. Thank you all for sticking with me this long, and thanks for all your amazing messages, reviews, and even criticisms...
So long, Lovelies.
