I've wanted to say this for a long time now.
I've had a break up with the Hamilton fandom.
Before any of you say anything, I still adore this musical and it still holds such a special place in my heart. It's been important to me as a person, as my identity. This community has been one of the most loving, accepting, open minded, least toxic, and intelligent fandoms I've ever considered myself to be a part of.
Hamilton and you all have actually been an important part of my life so far.
But musicals as a whole, I've moved on. They've become something special, something sweet for me to selfishly keep to myself.
That being said, I'm discontinuing this fic. It's become a burden if I want to be honest. I need to be honest.
I've done a lot of growing, I'm about to start high school, and I need to make changes. This being one of them. I can't string you all along with false promises.
There are so many writers who are so passionate about this, and read their stories. Speak to them. Review. Follow and favorite because they all deserve it so much.
It is so lovely having such a solid and warm support system even when I repeatedly run away.
Hamilton means so much to me, and so do all of you. I let it go to my head, and I forgot how happy someone let alone reviewed made me feel. I forgot that feeling and I don't think I can take anything back now.
I know I have disappointed you all. I know that I have disappointed you all. Especially with a crappy apology after a month of no activity. So be angry. Please. Rant in the comments and unfollow and unfavorite because this was my decision and all of your feelings are valid.
I'm not leaving fanfiction. But you all have made a lasting impression on me. For a developing teenage girl, you all were so important to me and how I viewed my life and others. It's only a matter of time.
