Hello there Msec fandom! I have been avidly reading your amazing stories and enjoying them immensely. I took my own stories off of fanfic because some of the comments I was getting were hurtful and personal. We all have opinions on what's good or bad, what we like reading and what we don't - But those opinions should never become hateful and targeted. I let the comments affect me and deleted my stories, my twitter account and other social media because it just wasn't good for my mental health. I then realised that I was giving far too much power to people who don't know who I am as a person so have no right to sit behind a keyboard, hiding behind "guest" and pass judgement on my writing, my ideas and most importantly, my life. I have continued writing but have been far too anxious to post anything because of the hurtful comments I know will come. I take things to heart and it just didn't feel like the safe space to share like it used to. I then watched my daughter overcome horrendous bullying and smash her A-Levels anyway - Getting into the university of her choice and not letting hateful people stand in her way. If my 18 year old can stand tall and put herself out in the world, then I can too!

If you don't like me, that's ok. If you don't like my writing, that's ok too - But don't use this space as a platform to be hateful. There are people who do like my writing, who have asked me to re-post my stories, who have encouraged me to post if I want to. And because of those people, I am being brave and doing that. If you don't like what you read, I totally get it - But making a choice to attack someone is wrong. Scrolling past is what you should be doing.

So - This is a collection of one chapter ideas that I never went back to. They have been sitting on my mac for a long while and after reading through them again, I feel it's time to share them. Some of them may seem out of character but they are just ideas that were floating around in my head, no more. That's the beauty of literature- You can explore ideas. Some work and some don't but it's all a learning process.

Thank you to all you writers who put yourselves out there and share your stories with us. You are appreciated and it's good to see this fandom still going strong. Feel free to follow me on twitter - same username as I've had to start from scratch again.

And please be kind - It's the most important thing you can ever be x
