I just wanted to thank everyone who's messaged me for support.

I value you all, please don't think I don't.

No, no trolls bullied me out of this. No, I didn't catch the COVID. And no, I am not aware of any controversy regarding my story. If there is, I haven't seen it, so I'm not affected.

Me leaving was for none of these reasons.

I left because someone who I thought was my friend, hurt me for a very flimsy and nonsensical reason. Once they did that, my desire to keep going with any of my stories just...Died. I don't know why, but it did. This person was a fan of my works, so maybe what's why? I'm not sure. But regardless, no one bullied me out of it, I just greatly lost motivation due to this person, and a bunch of other bad stuff that happened in my life right afterwards.

As for the people who are worried about me leaving my work to someone else, don't worry.

I would never leave my work to someone who I wouldn't trust to handle my kind of work. They write like me, they have the same ideas as me, and they always check with me before they make adjustments to anything they create. Please trust me, they'll do fine, and I guarantee you'll like it all the same. It'll be like I never left. Think of them as a ghost writer, except they're not doing all the work for me. However, I also can't say that I'm completely taking the wheel here, either. This person is still putting a lot of their efforts into getting something posted on the site as well. They are working with both my Sonic and Yugioh stories, and all the ideas I had hidden away that you all don't know about. Not only that, but they're more familiar with AO3 than I am, and will also be posting there as well once we actually have some material to put out.

They're new to this site as a writer, but not as a reader. They've been a fan of mine as well for a very long time, so they know what they're doing. They wish to remain anonymous, and like me, will rarely interact with anyone unless it involves the story directly. Please go easy on them.

Anyway, I don't know when we'll be ready to post something, as nothing is actually ready yet. I'm still contemplating the idea of writing anything again at all. But if I do, this new writer will help me see it through to the end.

As for now, this will probably be the last author's note that's directly written by me. I'll probably never talk to any of you personally again, and I'm sorry for that. Consider this account deactivated. But to all the love you guys have given me even after I left, I thank you tremendously.

I love you all.

...

...Sayonara, everyone.
