Hello, beloved readers, whoever is left…
This is a note from me to tell everyone that I will not be continuing this story. I've been meaning to say something to you all forever. To be completely honest, I just never came up with a good ending. So I think that where I stopped seems as good a place to end it as any. I mean, it's over, right? My goal was to tell the backstory of Dr. Cable, and that I did. There's nothing new to say. You all know what happens.
There's just no way that I can continue this story. I was 16 when I started it. Now, I'm 26, and I am working on my own doctoral degree now. Yes, you will soon have to call me "Dr. Fanna," haha! But I say this, because…I have a dissertation to write. I'll always be a writer, but I'm an academic now, and writing and publishing will be my livelihood, from now on. For that reason, I can't work on something like this fanfic, when I have so much else to write.
I have a couple things I want to say to my readers, though. I based the character of Min on myself and my own experiences. I always felt a deep connection to Dr. Cable, which is why I wrote this story. But, after I started this story and as I was writing it, I came upon a great personal revelation. When I was 19, with the help of the internet, I had the self-realization that I was, in fact, autistic. Always have been, always will be. I was actually diagnosed as a kid but it was never discussed with me. And looking back, I realize…that I wrote Min that way, too. I doubt most people would pick up on it. But read my story with that knowledge, and you'll see that it's there.
Also, a couple years ago, I got another diagnosis. After spending YEARS in enormous psychological pain, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. And I think that that's what Min was suffering from in this story, as well. I wrote this story when I was in a place of great pain, and it shows. If you are suffering, I encourage you to seek medical help. It saved my life and I am much better now.
That's all. To everyone who's read this story, I love you very much. Goodbye for now.
Love,
"Fanna"
