Hello Everyone, this is Gryffindor97, and yes, I know what all of you are thinking; I am still alive. I know, hard to believe, right? I start two fanfics but like vanished off the face of the Earth? Almost had a couple people asking me if I was blipped from existence by Thanos and the Infinity Stones. lol

Well, here I am, letting y'all know that I am still alive with a little update on why there's been literally nothing from me for the past year and a half.

To start off, life after graduating got fairly messy as far as getting my first job at Walmart, trust me, not my best choice and I realized that the second I started working there. Because of working there I literally had no time to work on fanfics, and with the amount of stress and mental abuse my coworkers, supervisors and managers were putting me through on a day-to-day basis I found it very hard to come up with ideas for these fanfics.

After Walmart I found myself in a very negative state of mind. I had a falling out with my community college (nothing major, I just found it hard to get back to the school mentality after wasting a year and a half of my life at Walmart), and the jobs I was getting afterwards paid me barely $7.15 or so an hour so I couldn't even afford an apartment, and by the time I had some money that was when COVID-19 started and it messed everything up.

And COVID...hooo boy, COVID. That messed me up all of 2020, and by that time I no longer had the drive to write fanfics. Actually, all of 2020 was a nightmare for me and obviously a lot of you as well.

However it's not all bad news though.

After some of the nonsense had been cleared up I found myself moving to a new state, I am now enrolled in a new college that is currently helping me work my way up to getting a computer tech support certificate (and it's going VERY well), I have a very well paying job for the moment and I've started working on actual novels of my own.

So, where does this leave me with you ask? Well...

Unfortunately due to work, school and writing the novels I've found it very hard to get back into writing fanfiction, and so I am sorry to say to a lot of you who have known me for years as Soren the Arcean, Ace Sniper 117 and now Gryffindor97, I sadly must bid you all farewell...for now. Who knows, maybe I will come back and have some fun with some stuff here and there.

I will leave my stuff up for you all to read. If you want you can adopt them and make your own story with them. Who knows you might make it turn out better than I could, and I'd be more than happy to read them.

So, with all that said, I wish for the best for everyone. Good luck, and since I'm writing this in December of 2021, I wish you all Happy Holidays. Cheers to a better 2022.
