It feels almost silly to be writing this as I am a teenage(ish) nobody sitting at her computer at home writing fan fiction. But even though this form of writing has lost its appeal to me, I still feel some responsibility towards those of you who still read my former stories, including this one. Fan fiction was an important step for me in becoming the writer I am today, who feels confident enough to create her own characters in their own worlds, rather than sticking to a universe of someone else's creation. So I feel that I owe you an apology and an explanation.
This is of course for those of you who have messaged me in this past year or so, asking when Blood and Love will be finished, or if any of my stories are up for adoption. To answer the latter, I would ask that if you must continue to write my stories, I would prefer that you do not post them online. The idea is a little uncomfortable for me personally. As for the former, who knows? Maybe someday soon, I'll deliver my final chapter, but unfortunately this will not be in the foreseeable future. This is because of real-world events and responsibilities that demand my attention. Such as the onslaught of university applications I am not looking forward to having to send, and no doubt a number of rejection letters to sob my way through.
So although it is against almost everything I believe of what a writer should and should not do, this is where I leave you for the time being. But this part of my life was over a long time ago. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews, faves and love that you've given my stories
