UPDATE: In my current state, I'm unsure whether I want to keep writing. I just don't have the inspiration as I use to. This however is undecided, and I will leave you notes to whether or not I will keep writing, because it is your right to know what's to happen.

I've been thinking about this a lot now. Lately, fanfiction just isn't the thing in my mind anymore. I don't know if I still want to keep writing or just stop right there. I've gotten busier as everyone does as they get older. I'll have to confess I no longer hold any interest to Yu-Gi-Oh, Beyblade, or Weiss Kruez. This doesn't mean I don't like anime, it's just that writing no longer has its appeal. I've written stories that were both bad and good, but there's one thing I'd like to say: These stories were written for me. I write fanfiction because I like to write them, and having other people enjoy them is really cool too. But somehow, writing these fics has become a constant nag in my mind of a chore. I've taken this into thought after I had talked to my friend (another fanfic writer) who has the same predicament as I do and she's suggested that I consider whether writing these stories are worth the energy or not. I know there will be people out there who are upset and angry, and I can understand that. But I want to start focusing on school and hanging out with friends, and other things pertaining to my life. I'm sorry if this is just out of the blue, and I know that leaving a story is never a good thing, but I think maybe I should move on.

I just want to say thank you for all the people that have supported me. I couldn't have written these fics without you and it's been wonderful reading all your ideas about my stories. I'm truly sorry about leaving you hanging like this. For now, I'm just unsure about what's going to happen to my fanfics. Perhaps I'll return to writing as usual. For now, I just don't know.

If you have any questions or comments to what I've just written, you're welcome to email me (tho' I don't check my email too often, too busy to be on the computer that much). I will be happy to answer to what you ask. =

Smiles,
