My Lives As Fate's Chew Toy - Heroes Are Over-Rated

by DeiStarr

Our OC is reborn as Harry Potter, & proceeds to have A Very Bad Time. Deeply traumatized and fed up with everything; she repeatedly attempts to get the plot out of the way early, and is continually thwarted by a well-meaning-but-oblivious Albus Dumbledore. She is Not Impressed. At All. This life is going to require a LOT more alcohol. 3rd in FCT series; can be read stand-alone.

4. Hiatus Ending

Thank you all for commenting, favouriting, and following!

When I came back to this site again and started looking over them it was humbling and overwhelming for me to see how much love my fics have been getting in spite of my absence.

(Seriously; I almost cried. You guys are amazing!)

I'm sorry there haven't been any updates in so long; however I expect to have the next chapter of "The Spaces Between" finished and sent to my Beta before the end of the month. So it should go up sometime in early December; it all depends on what her schedule is like.

I'm really sorry this story has seemed abandoned for a while. I had a miscarriage and lost my will to write for a while. I didn't post anything about a hiatus; partly because it was very low on my list of priorities at the time, and partly because I didn't expect it to go on for so long.

While I've recently started writing again, it took a bit for me to get over my hangups about writing this series - since I started it about a month before I got pregnant and worked on it throughout my pregnancy; the two concepts just felt very linked to my mind. So I started writing again in a totally different fandom at first; and have now ventured into a few AUs/side stories for this series to ease myself back into it. I'm currently working on the next chapter of TSB right now, and not experiencing any issues, so I can finally say that I'm doing good again.

That said; I DO remember the plot and basic outline I had of each WIP. I remember all of the important details; if not the exact way I planned each scene/bit of dialogue to go. And I've discovered that while I've been dealing with RL problems; a lot of people have left comments complimenting my WIPs and asking me to continue them, or favouriting/following. I also know how disappointing it is when a writer discontinues a story you're enjoying and looking forward to reading more of.

SO I WILL DEFINITELY be continuing this story, along with all of my other WIPs.

I'm still very excited about each of the ideas behind my WIPs. However, even more than that, I really, really hate leaving things unfinished.

(I'm also a bit of a praise-whore; and the more kudos and bookmarks and subscriptions and comments I get, the more motivated I am to write more, and write more often.)

Like I said; I intend to update this series again starting by the first week of December, after my newer WIPs are finished (Some short(3-4 chapters) MDZS/Untamed stories that got me back into writing again).

The update schedule for this series so far is this:

December -

The Spaces Between
Heroes Are Over-Rated
We Are Not Broken (TBS Side-story AU started back in April)
How To Build Your Triad (HAOR Side-story/prequel)
Don't Touch (E-rated WYMPFL Side-story AU)
The Spaces Between

January -

Heroes Are Over-Rated

We Are Not Broken (TBS Side-story AU started back in April)

I'll be posting a more detailed and extensive update schedule (IE: how many future chapters to expect when) in the End Notes of the next chapter of each fic.
