DISCONTINUATION NOTICE & Apology
I'm really sorry everybody, I really am.
I look at this fanfic, and as far as this fanfic goes, it's going nowhere and I can't bring myself to write for it anymore. This rewrite-fic was a desperate attempt to fix a fanfic I wrote back in my last two years of high school(which was so terrible/embarrassing that I took the original off this site), and yes probably with enough grit, time and inspiration I could probably turn this fic along with its original premise into something decent, maybe even great.
But I have to face facts, the original premise of the fic this rewrite was for as a bandwagon fic, and it wasn't even a good one. A lot has happened in my life between then and now, I've grown up and matured a lot, I've had college classes(which is why some of my medical inaccuracies and other inaccuracies make me cringe now) and I don't have the same kind of predictable amounts of free time like I used to. And over time, I've actually gotten better at writing, not perfect, but just a lot better than I used to, and the disparity I find when comparing my newer work(still unposted, because now editing is a bitch) to my older work is jarring. While proud of myself, I had to consider what to do with my older fics, this one had been an attempt to rescue the old fic, but now I find myself unable to do anything with it.
As far as ideas go, I've sort of written myself into a corner into terms of ideas for this fic, it's been done, many more times and much better than this and the ideas I had for it(this fic) and it just has NOWHERE to go. And I just don't have ANY inspiration for this fic anymore. I've tried, I really have, but everything that came out was forced and terrible because I had no direction for this original version of this fic and essentially the re-write and I'll admit that I think it never did(I'm not too hard on myself for this, because hey my older writing was really terrible, and I have gotten much better over time). I have inspiration to write other things, I have other, more well-thought out ideas I'd much rather be writing, and this fic is sort of just deadweight at this point. As far as most of my old WIP fics go, there is only one that I find relatively passable and worth reviving (mostly because it was that happy medium in terms of my writing ability growth) and it is most certainly not this one.
To all who were reading this, I apologize, I am moving on to bigger, better fanfics, and you all will too, because after a few years on Fanfic . net, you will find those gems that make you increase your standards of reading and/or writing like I have. I may write for the Harry Potter fandom again, most likely I will at some point in the future, but this fic is just a closed chapter in my writing endeavors. Again, I am grateful to all the readers and reviewers for the kind words and support, but I feel that I must move on to other projects.
Thank you all for your time, if you never see another one of my fics again, I bid you farewell, and to those who may stumble or seek out one of my fanfics/writing again, 'til next time ya'll.
