Results of Poll & Decision for the Future of this Fanfic

(Please read all the way to the end!

Important News at the end!)

So since its March 31st today and as I promised the poll is now closing. From all my announcements on the poll about 'please vote' and 'tell me what you like about this fic'. I got three voters and only one person reviewing saying, 'please continue this'.

So the results:

Continue: 2

Rewrite: 1

Discontinued: 0

As I've said before, I'm personally embrassed by this crossover fic to where I can't even bear to read it myself, 'The Stranger' was another embrassement for me but at least I actually had a plot to it and I finished it, and at least it was bearable to read.

I've orginally planned to discontinue or rewrite this fic, but since so many people liked it so much I wanted to see what you readers wanted to be done with it and as to why you guys love it so much you want me to continue it. But I never did get any responses as to why any of you like about this fic so much, which really disappoints me. You want me to write more, but you don't say why. It could be just a simple 'I love the way you write the characters' or 'I especially loved when you wrote this one scene'.

I feel like continuing the poll to see if anyone else votes but, I know I've let this go on for long enough. I personally hoped more people would pick rewrite than continue though. As I do still remember what the idea was when I first started writing this.

I orginally planned for this fic to be slightly dark where the main characters die at the end saving everyone or something like that. But I was younger at the time where I got somewhat swayed by the reviewers words that didn't want me to make this sad or something. So I ended up including more funny or light hearted situations, which ended up (for me anyway) taking this fic into random directions. I planned on somehow including the crocus games and the gate sending them to the ark or something...I still can't remember most of what I planned. But I think mostly the reason why I find this fic an embrassment is because my writing is all over the place and it's not clear as to where I want to take this at all. Some parts I would write thinking, this should happen, and then halfway through think, it's better to it this way, and I would abandon that previous plot line that most people probably were waiting for, only to find out something happens instead. And also I have trouble writing when they're are too many characters in a scene so having most of the cast in the arkwas something I wondered why I did.

And also after watching/reading Fairy Tail I realized I could've wrote Natsu's character a whole lot better. And now with all the events happening in each manga, I could rewrite this fic into a much better storyline but with also darker elements.

But when I first started writing I had more free time because I was in High School. Graduating I thought I would have more time to write, but it turns out that every single person who told me college is hard and very time consuming is right. (I did believe them, but you won't understand until you experience yourself.) I constantly have schoolwork almost 24/7 and I only have time at night or in the afternoon to write out a few short sentences.

Which is mostly the reason why I wanted to discontinue this so I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore but I just felt bad for all those readers who want to see it continued. But after thinking about I realized maybe I should've just discontinue it when I had the chance instead of doing this poll that would mean I woud be breaking my promise just after I let readers decide what to do.

I really want to apologize to all my readers for my indecisions throughtout all these years and having to put up with my continuing hiatus. And I apologize to everyone reading this for giving you hopes that I will be back to only crush your hopes like this.

But I am now older and now I am too busy with college. I won't be writing anymore anime/manga fanfics for a long while. I went on a long hiatus because I had suddenly grown disinterested in writing anime/manga fanfics and I became busy with school. But I am still a very big fan of Fairy Tail and D. Gray Man and other anime/mangas, and I am super excited for the new season and chapters.

I just realized what I want to do is something probably all of you will not like, but it is my decision so I will not be continuing Shattered Dragon, Frowning Clown. But if anyone of you want to take it up and continue writing it (with credit to me, of course), I will still be able to read any reviews or PMs so you can personally ask me for permission, just send them in and I'll reply back and give you some original ideas I had for the fanfic.

I will still be writing fanfics, of course, but I am thinking about leaving fanfiction .net. So I may not be uploading any of my writings on here ever again. If anyone one is interested, I've recently made a writing blog on tumblr named, tales-from-blizzard-the-kat, where I will be uploading all my old and new fanfics. So please check it out!

Once again I apologize to all my readers and thank you to everyone who has stuck by me all these years and thank you to everyone who loves my stories and writings!

If anyone still wants to communicate or keep up with me:

My writing blog on tumblr: tales-from-blizzard-the-kat

or my personal tumblr account which can be found on my 'about me' page on the writing blog.

And I still will be able to read reviews and PMs, if anyone wants to send me any.

I really hope all of you understand and respect my decision. Everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful life!
