Hello all!
So it's just shy of a year since the last time I updated this fic, and as you can see, this is not an update.
I've been writing fanfic for almost 13 years, and I have never abandoned or given up on any of my projects…until now. It really does pain me to say this, because in a way it's like I'm quitting and that's never been something that's sat well with me, but I've put a lot of thought into where to go from here and the only logical conclusion I can come to is to leave this work unfinished.
Yes, this is being abandoned.
There are many reasons why I am doing this, and while I'm sure most of you don't care about them, I'm still going to explain a bit of my circumstances. In April of 2014 I was hit with some pretty severe writers block, which incidentally lasted seven months and through two fandoms. This was accompanied by a complete lack of inspiration and motivation –I couldn't for the life of me come up with any aus, headcanons, or ideas worth giving thought to, which is unusual even while dealing with writers block. When I put all of this together, the signs pointed to a fading passion for fandom. This has happened to me in the past, usually if I am active in a fandom and begin to fall out of love with it, and unfortunately that's what happened here.
That is not to say I don't like ROTG anymore or that I've quit writing –I do, and I haven't. While I've moved on to other fandoms, found another home and another family to write for, that doesn't mean I don't still appreciate everything ROTG has done for me, or all of the comments and kudos and bookmarks you've given me –not just for this fic but for all of my ROTG works. It's just a slow, inevitable slide that we all go through at some point or another, we've all been there and it sucks.
I will still be around ao3 and , just writing for the ace of diamond fandom (which btw is amazing if you like anime, pls check it out!) and if you have any questions about the ending of the fic, which I have planned out, or any of the research I did for this project, please feel free to hit me up on my writing blog at trumpet-geek or my main blog wingspike, both on tumblr!
Thank you for everything!
