Alright, I think this story needs a very big, much needed update. I'll split it up into different categories.
1. Why This Went On A Hiatus
2. Is This Cancelled
3. What Does This Mean For Doki Doki: Those Times With The Dokis
If you'd like to skip to one of those, skip on down and look into which topic you'd like to look into.
1. Why This Went On Hiatus
I went on hiatus for this story because I was co-writing this with someone. No, the other way around. I had someone as a co-writer on all my stories before October of last year. Both herself and I wrote stories together from late 2015-late 2019 as a collective unit. She worked on editing, proof-reading and such along with connecting plots. I worked on the overall writing and execution of said plots.
We worked well together and managed to create and release plenty of stories out on Watpad and . We worked hard to deliver whatever we could and learned together along the way. However, our close bond and drive to work together ended when we started writing and releasing a story on our Wattpad known as: New World, New Life.
We had creative differences on the story and eventually led to fallout between us some time during the summer of last year. The fault lies with mostly myself since I definitely could've handled the situation better. We didn't talk to each for a month or two and got together to continue New World, New Life at the expense of other stories, including this one.
Some time in October, she told me that she wanted to go solo and work on her own work. I respected her decision and let her continue on solo. We still talk from time to time and she offers comments and suggestions on some of my current work.
I wasn't able to work on stories due to this since I had to do some rough re-writes on some of our stories. This meant I had to change plots, characters, and even titles. It's been rough trying to get back on board, but hey, I'm back and that leads us to our next points.
2. Is This Cancelled?
Not in the slightest. I will have to do some rewriting and you might see the previous chapter deleted. This is to keep it concurrent with my own plot. I have been working on it for quite some time and I'm not sure when the next chapter will be uploaded.
It might be uploaded some time this next coming week, or some other time in April. It all depends on time and health of course. Just please bear with me on when I will upload the next chapter.
3. What Does This Mean For Doki Doki: Those Times With The Dokis
Nothing really changes with DD: TTWTD. Man, that's a long acronym. I will still uploaded that story as much as I can. I can appreciate the constant love and support from the only user who has posted reviews, but I'm sure others love it as well. I'm currently working on the next chapter of that as well, but that won't be uploaded today. It will be uploaded more than likely tomorrow.
I'd like to thank everyone who has supported this story enough to get it to over 2000 reads. I absolutely appreciate. I know views/reads don't mean much if your story doesn't have the follows and favs to back it up, I'm still surprised it gets views/reads every other day. I'm absolutely surprised.
I've always had a soft spot for DDLC since it helped jumpstart (and end) my YouTube channel. Along with meeting some incredible (and not so incredible) people. All in all, DDLC has given me a very mixed back of people to meet. And with that, I hope to see all of you back on Real After Story or DD: TTWTD. C'ya!
P.S. Before anyone says anything, did we date? Yes. We dated sometime in early 2018. However, since she lives across the country, we had one of those online relationships that only lasted a few months. It quickly fell apart since we were well... far apart.
It didn't change our work relationship since we were still great friends. So yeah. We did date.
