Hello.
Here's the dreaded chapter update that many of you probably saw coming. But I've been fighting myself on posting this for the last month for the simple fact I hate this has happened. I've had some personal issues that have taken over my life, and I am struggling to finish this story, let alone do basic things like homework and self-care.
So, with that said, The Devil Within is on HIATUS. As in, the story will be finished, but not by me. I'm passing it over to GaybeTheEnBoy, an amazing writer, who will start from the beginning and take over the re-writing process with my outline and theirs.
If you're going to be angry, I completely understand, but please know and believe that I had every intention of pushing through this to finish it. But I realized a couple of chapters ago that I was just posting updates without editing or any regard for the story or what I've done with it so far. And you guys don't deserve that.
So I'm stepping away to take care of myself because I have been pretty much drained emotionally, creatively, and mentally. And this might possibly be the "end" for me on fanfiction for a very, very long time.
And if you're going to post reviews or send messages that are negative, then so be it. I'm not too sure I don't deserve any of them. But for those of you who can and are willing, please send positive vibes and energy this way. I can use as much as I can get.
I'm very, very sorry.
Hold your people tight and love them while they're here.
