I don't know what to say.
I've been trying and trying to rewrite the next chapter... but it's not working for me. I can't get it to work the way I want it to, and to be honest, I've lost a lot of love for this story. It's not really what anybody said - it's just something I worried about for a while, and it's now been confirmed in writing by someone who has no need to flatter me. I know LunaEquus had a hard time with this particular reviewer. I totally understand where she's coming from - people who write fics already worry that they're not interesting or funny or whatever. We already know that there are problems with the story. And it's nice when people comment with suggestions for improvement. But to just say it was not that great, and then not tell you what could be done about that? It's a cop-out.
Don't get me wrong - it's not because of that reviewer. I'm not really that easily put-off from something I enjoy. It's just a lot of stuff. My flashdrive is dead. My insecurities about this fic have been proven right after all. Not to mention, I've basically written myself into a corner. I do have somewhere to go with the story, but everyone knows exactly where I'm going. That's not fun for me. You guys know I'm a big fan of cliff-hangers and whatnot. I guess I'm just really irritated. I need to leave this story for a while.
I'm really sorry to those of you who enjoyed it. I will definitely come back and finish it, but I'm going to leave it alone for atleast a week. Probably two or three weeks. I'm also probably going to delete the Perils of Ann. I might focus on one-shots from now on, since people seemed to like my last one a lot. I don't know.
Thank you all very much for the lovely reviews and the support. It makes me feel really good, which is really sappy and everything, but I mean it. I promise I'll update this in a little while.
