So here's the deal: recently I decided to upload my newer work to ff.net for backup purposes (I do not entirely trust my LJ, in part because I keep losing passwords for it) and in the process discovered that, at some point, they decided to remove all the linebreaks from everything I'd previously uploaded, rendering it more unreadable than it already was. Since I'd been keeping most of it up for posterity and no other reason, I've decided to purge most of it, if not all of it. I still have master copies of a few of the better ones, and I may go back and fix them up later, but for the most part, I fear that everyone who's been following me in the past is going to be severely disappointed. I'm not the same writer I was back then, and looking back, the things I wrote were kind of silly, and entirely without merit- literary or otherwise. And let's face it- all those WIPs I never got around to finishing probably wouldn't have been finished anyway, due to a lack of initiative on my part.

With that in mind, I feel I've improved quite a bit in recent years (I've completely gotten over my need to use OCs as a writing crutch, thank God) and I hope you enjoy what I'm leaving up, and the things that I'll be putting up in place of everything I had. Everyone who has read my work and reviewed in the past- all of you are great, and I thank you. Even- no, especially -the people who were rough with me, who made me feel terrible about myself. I needed it, because back then? My work was terrible. I thank you for helping me get over that.

All the best,
