Hello friends, it's been a very long time. I would like to profusely apologise for my unexplained absence, but I know that's not what you would like to hear. I have a lot of re-written chapters lined up, and future chapters planned as well as some of those written out. I've done this over a long time, but I didn't upload any of it before I could outline a definite story ending to this mess. I started this story for many reasons, the main ones being as a distraction, practice for my writing at a young age and because I thought it would be a good pass-time. I'm half a decade older now, and typically it makes me cringe as I look back at my old work with no structure or finesse.
Anyway, before I waffle on and on, I'd like to address the issue I'm facing. I've gotten a lot less time to do a lot less things as time goes by. This includes story planning and writing, even if I'm not the only one using this account. I'm still a student, and the workload only gets larger. This isn't the sole reason for my hiatus, but alongside the others it's the main one. Time and stress are common reasons for people going off the grid, and I hate to link my disappearance to that. I didn't update my story for a while with the hopes of getting back into it. I didn't want my first story to be unfinished, and I didn't want my lined up work to amount to nothing. I mainly didn't want to disappoint my readers, as I know first hand the sadness and dissatisfaction that comes from it.
That being said, the answer to whether or not this story will continue is still in the air. I'm stubborn in many ways, and leaving work unfinished is something I hate to do. I have two solutions in mind: someone else can re-write and/or continue this cringe excuse of a story, or I will re-do it and continue this story but it will take a while because I've still got at least half a decade of study left ahead of me (and this damn covid situation isn't helping anyone). I was naïve, starting a long story at such a critical time in my life and thinking I could finish it.
Thank you to those who read my story (as trash as it is), and I understand why you're typing your hatred towards me in a PM or in the comments. I deserve it.

I plan on continuing this story (probably in a century's time by the looks of it) on my own, but if someone else would like to take it on and redeem it's God-awful quality, then PM me. I tried to waffle as little as possible because I know you guys wanna know what's going on without reading too much, but it's really hard when you have a lot to say. Regardless, I hope I expressed my point correctly.
Once again, thank you all so much - and I'm not just saying that for the sake of it.
