Author's Note: (Sorry that it's not a chapter)

Hey! So… this is really awkward to write, so please bare with me. Little bit of back story; writing was always a little hobby for me. I used to do it in middle/ high school for fun and generally just to get the plots that roamed freely out of my head. I never had aspirations to be an author, and it showed in the fact that I almost never edited anything I posted. Just put enough out for the plot and send it.

Honestly though? English courses killed that desire for me. It changed the excited feeling of transcribing my fantastical escapades into an overwhelming dread. It started feeling like a requirement instead of a relaxing event.

So I stopped. I kept checking the documents I had saved here on the site for like a year and a half, but eventually the website deleted them from inactivity. That was really the point where I felt like I was done; everything was gone for my stories.

I shifted to just getting coursework done; using television and gaming to escape reality instead. Probably was just another victim of my depression dive I went through.

First time admitting it here on the platform, but I'm Transgender (probably obvious if anyone noticed the extreme name change; Irishman to LadyDovahkiin was rather on point). Late high school I tried coming out to the first person ever; my girlfriend at the time. For the record she's an amazing person and we're great friends to this day, but baby egg me who didn't even know the word trans at the time didn't do well explaining herself, and I backpedaled into that closet/ shell so fast.

I eventually meet other trans folk and learned more about myself, and I'm doing great now. Awesome therapist, great doctor, and I'm 5 months on hormone therapy! Super excited to really start being myself.

So with this better turn in my mental health, I've started daydreaming again. I didn't really even notice it for a while, it just felt so natural to do. Once I realized I was doing it again I started thinking about picking up writing again, (not the first time over the years but the first time I've really considered it).

If you've made it this far, thank you and congratulations! You just suffered through my extremely long and probably unnecessary rant (here's a fictional cookie!) I'll be posting this same note on all of my incomplete stories and asking this:

Does anyone still want me to finish these stories? Is there actually any interest in them? I've had several people pm me over the years but as I mentioned I really didn't have the drive at the time. So if I feel like enough people really want me to, I think I'll get back into writing soon.

If I do, you'll be seeing some rewriting for most of the unfinished stories. I know I want to redo Assassin pretty much completely and Baltor's Curse needs some tweaking. Dark Rose will probably be put in the back burner, possibly completely scrapped for another dark Ruby story concept.

So yeah… hate to be cliché but please leave a review and let me know what you all think. (Hate comments will be deleted on the spot). Thank you for your time! :D
