So, where do I start?
There is no easy way to say this but it needs to be. For the past year and a half, my life has experienced plenty of change. I'm sure you fine readers have noticed in the previous Author Notes for the last several chapters.
The time I used to set aside for writing is filled up by my job and my social life. This pandemic certainly hasn't helped things either. After long days, I simply don't have the energy or drive to sit down and write anymore like I used to back in the day when I first started.
Though I enjoy writing on this story, I need to be realistic.
I can't continue writing on Ultimate Fairy anymore. I know the majority of you are disappointed and angry with me. I'm disappointed as well. I wanted to finish this story, but I underestimated how much time and energy would need to be put into a story that covers an entire series worth of content.
I have a newfound respect for people who work on stuff like this for a living. But I just can't make time for it anymore; I have to get my priorities straight. This is a hobby; not a job I get paid for.
I do appreciate all the support and guidance I've received from all of you over the years! Especially from people like TallGuy94, Star Saber21, Insane Dominator, The Incredible Muffin, Vanessa Masters, Masamune X23 and Jumpin' Jack Flash 7. Of course, I also need to give a shout out to my editor, Vandenbz. Wouldn't have made it this far without you guys and gals!
Does this mean Ultimate Fairy is dead forever?
Not necessarily. I am ready to "pass the torch", if you will, to another author who's willing to take on the challenge.
However, they need to meet certain criteria. For one, they need to be an experienced author on this site with fairly good spelling, grammar, and a good writing style. Secondly, they need to have some time on their hand to write. It doesn't do you readers any good for someone to adopt this story and fall into the same boat as I have. I've learned that lesson the hard one with my previous story, Ben 10: Prime Force – which sadly not got finished. Lastly, (if desired), I am willing to stick around as an advisor for the new author. I can make suggestions and provide them ideas of what I ultimately had in mind for the story structure to help them understand what they want to do with it.
If you meet the criteria above and are interested, please PM me and we can discuss. Keep in mind, the authors I mentioned above I hold in high regard and would definitely allow them to adopt if they were willing. Of course, they have their own stories and/or are busy themselves nowadays.
If you do PM me, please no cursing or bashing. I already feel bad enough. No need to fan the flames.
If Ultimate Fairy is adopted, I'll be sure to post an update for you guys.
I sincerely thank everyone for their support up this point and I am truly sorry for letting you down. If Ultimate Fairy remains un-adopted, at least it'll be here for you guys to go back in enjoy.
With that, I will now pack up my things and walk into FanFiction retirement. With peace and love, *pulls off anonymous mask* Colton Chase.
