Hi!
If you just got a notification about my story Love Is Love, please disregard. I went in to reread those first two chapters and then deleted the third one (which was just an author's note and ultimately unnecessary), I didn't realize that it would show the story as being recently updated. Sorry about that!
I'm delving back into writing finally, and just trying to feel out where I was at in various stories when I stopped. Most things I outline, but since that story in particular is basically a collection of one-shots, I wanted to clarify what I'd already set up.
Also, generally, thank you to everyone who's stuck around! I've been gone awhile. Support is always appreciated. I do have new story ideas but I'm not planning to start anything new until I wrap up some older stuff. I'm just gonna plug away at some current projects to get back into the swing of things.
One thing that's stuck out to me is seeing how many views my Disney High fic still gets. Honestly blows my mind. It's both flattering and also (kinda) mortifying. Like when I look back at that story I cringe a lot. There's some good stuff in there but also- WOW- some real shit. And a lot of stuff I probably had no business writing at the time. A part of me knows I should just let it be because it's authentic to how I wrote & who I was at the time, and I know a lot of people love it. But the more anxious part of me is tempted to...maybe...rewrite it?
Not completely. Most of the story would be the same. But there are a lot of decisions I made then that I simply wouldn't include now. Characters and storylines that went nowhere, characterizations that were absolutely fucked up, random bits that made no sense, yadda yadda... I think it was obvious that I got in over my head a bit.
I would just tweak it. And maybe put it back up in parts because it's SO LONG. Like, why? Who did I think I was?
I dunno. That sounds like a big project that you all might deeply disapprove of, so I'm not committing to that just yet. Let me know what you guys think, of course. It's been on my mind for awhile. For the most part I'm proud of that story, but some of it...yikes. Obviously, if I were to wind up doing that, I would give you guys warning in advance so that anyone who was reading the current one wouldn't suddenly have it gone with no explanation, if that makes sense. I would try to give plenty of time for anyone reading it to finish up.
If that were to happen, it wouldn't be in the near future. I'm just letting you guys know it's been on my mind. I would be curious to see what a version of that story written by a present-day me would look like.
Any way, I have a few other stories to focus on in the meantime, and other ideas that I'm excited about that haven't seen the light of day just yet. So...we'll see!
Again, thank you guys so much for sticking with me. Expect more content from me very soon, I've really been missing this. It's just harder for me to churn out content like I used to because my anxiety pretty much rules my life now and I get so hung up on whether what I've written is good enough to post. I hope you guys understand.
Stay safe out there, wear a mask and wash your hands. Socially distance as much as you're capable, not just for you but everyone around you. Love you guys.
