Edit: Because some people aren't completely sure and I have gotten several requests for permission to use storyplots: Yes, I really do give up the rights of all my stories that I have ever done. If I wrote a story and it is gone, you have my permission to rewrite it, word for word if you like, or make up your own version of it, and not have to ask me for permission. The same applies to my stories that are up now, except it's probably not a good idea if they're word-for-word, and I would ask that you keep those stories as Christian themes. If it bothers you to just do it, then you may write in your disclaimer that the idea was originally thought of by StarVix, who for personal reasons of faith, has relinquished them. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen of Fan Fiction:

I AM SORRY.

I'm sure many of you are wondering why I have deleted many of my stories. I will explain it to you, and the simple fact is this:

I loved this stupid website more than I loved my God.

It sounds horrible when you put it like that, and it is horrible, but for years I had deceived myself into thinking that I could live for this website and for God. I loved writing stories for this site; and I loved reading stories that are on this site. I loved it so much that I would betray my personal convictions on right and wrong in order to read something if it was written well. I have read so much junk I wish I could poke out of my brain with a toothpick, but I cannot.

I have read rated T fictions even though that is against my priciples. I have read two rated M stories. I have no excuse; I wanted to do it so I did. I have read fictions where they cuss like salors, and I have read slash fics if the participants 'don't actually do anything' and 'are not human.' Example: Robots aren't actually male and female, so it is 'ok' to read Transformers Slash.

It is not OK. It was never OK. I listened to my flesh instead of my God, and it is a decision I will always regret.

I had tried to stop, to 'compromise,' if you will. I would tell myself, "I'll never read another fic on this site except my own." That worked out about as well as getting a bear to do the Macarena: awesome in theory, but in real life it will never happen. I kept trying to hold on to this site with one hand and hold on to God with the other, and not only was it not working, but it was tearing me apart. I had to stop playing games and make a decision.

In my head, the decision was simple: This site is SO not worth giving up God. In practice it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I had to let go over everything that was not glorifying God. If I had a story that is deleted that you liked, please forgive me, but it is gone. I have not only deleted it from this site, I have deleted it from my computer harddrive. If it makes you feel any better, it was actually physically painful to do so--I was surprised at how attached I really was to the dumb old things.

I release any rights I may ever have had to those stories. If I deleted a story you liked and you want to try to reproduce it or use themes/ideas/quotes/storylines/plots, ANYTHING, you may do so without my permission. I no longer own those stories; I give them up. They are dead to me.

As of yet I have not felt convicted to get rid of the I Still Believe series so they are still here. I have actually been getting ideas for More Than Useless even though I have had writer's block on that story for two years, for reasons I personally believe are self evident. I will update once a week, and I will not be on this site for any more time than it takes to actually download my chapter and leave. HOWEVER--if I prove to be too weak to even handle that amount of time on this site, I will quit fan fiction permanently forever. I'll block this site on my browser and throw my computer in a creek before I let this mess start up again. So if I stop updating again, you'll know what happened.

I'm reopening my PMs for a single purpose--if you want to complain/rant/anything else to do with protesting my decision to delete a story/multiple stories. You have permission to use those old stories; so don't bother contacting me about that. Don't even let me know you're using them. Don't tempt me, PLEASE. I will not contact you; my mother has a household rule that nobody is allowed to contact or speak to a person on the internet unless we know them in real life. It was established about the time I disabled my PMs, which is why I cut off my messaging so abruptly like that.

In case you are wondering, I am twenty-two, but the Bible says we are to honor and obey our parents, and there is no age limit to doing that.

Now my second request: DO NOT USE MY REVIEWS SECTION UNLESS YOU ARE REVEIWING OR FLAMING MY STORY. If you have a problem with my decisions, my doctrine, my beliefs, my anything, rant on the PMs, not the review board. I mean this. If you break the rule once, I will have Fan Fiction remove the review, reporting it as spam. Break it twice and I WILL block you permanently. Reviews are for the story, nothing else.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Once again, I am sorry my disobedience and sin toward God has affected your life. Pray for me that I will be able to stick to my guns so that this will never happen again. Thank you for your understanding.
