Hey everyone, it's been a while. So listen, there's something I gotta tell you all, and I think you all deserve to hear it from me. So...here it is, and i'll put it as simply as possible, so that way there are no misunderstandings...

I'm not sure if I want to continue writing this story anymore.

There, I said it, never though I actually would. I've been thinking about this a lot, wondering to myself if this is something I really want to continue doing. I've been trying to manage this story for a long time, and I've been putting out chapters as frequently as I could manage. Now, I don't know if I even can manage writing chapters anymore.

However, there's a feeling inside of me that is telling me that that isn't the entire reason, and I think it has something to do with how and when I decided to begin writing this story. I think that is something I should explain to you all, so that way you might understand my situation better.

When COVID-19 first brought the world to its metaphorical knees, I found myself bored out of my mind. I couldn't go out and do anything, I couldn't see my friends, I was trapped inside 24/7. I was looking for ways to quench my boredom, and I eventually got into something that I hadn't imagined I would before...

Anime

Now, anime was something that I had mixed feelings about before COVID. It wasn't something that I was interested in, and I saw it as something I would most likely never be interested in. Yet, low and behold, I began to watch anime to see if it would be something to help me get rid of my perpetual boredom.

Man, I had no idea what I had been missing out on. I found many anime with interesting stories and compelling characters. Some anime were funny, others were emotional, others were violent and gritty, there were so many interesting amine that caught my interest. However, then I watched the anime that would lead me to making this story: Darling In The Franxx.

Now, this anime had all of the things I was looking for in a good popular anime (yes, even the controversy and shitposting about "that one character. That's what makes anime spicy). And yea, don't get me wrong, the last episodes of DITF we're a surprise to me too. Despite that, I was still left with that "Damn...the shows over..." feeling in my stomach...at 3 in the morning...when I finished episode 24.

I was satisfied with watching it, but there was a new feeling inside of me after finishing Darling In The Franxx. I remember seeing that final minute of the show, and thinking to myself "There can still be more after this, right?" And that's when the idea of writing a fanfiction came to mind.

Writing this story about being locked inside brought me a lot of pleasure and happiness. I had nothing else to do, so it was something fun that I enjoyed passing time with. What made me enjoy it even more was how all of you began to show your enjoyment as well. Now, almost 7k views later...here we are...

With everything seeming to be going back to normal...

Once the world began to get back onto it's metaphorical feet, the things I used to do before COVID became available to me again, and a lot of that free time began to disappear. On top of that, there was something else that up until now, I discovered that it was disappearing as well. It was that feeling of "There can still be more.."

I'm not sure where the future of this story lies as of now. Recently, I overhauled the entirety of the last chapter I promised I'd post because I didn't like how it turned out. I felt as if the chapter was missing something important, and up until now, I didn't realize it was that one feeling that drove me into making this story in the first place

I'm not sure where the future of this story lies, but I can say that no decision has been made yet. Maybe I'll relight the fire that was that feeling of wanting more, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll finish my last chapters of what is supposed to be part 1 of a 4 part fanfiction, or maybe it will remain incomplete. Or maybe...I'll pass off the story to someone more capable...maybe one of you can continue to breathe life into this story if I decide I no longer can.

Either way, nothing is set in stone as of now, no decision has been made.

I still have to figure out just what exactly it is that I want...
