It's Complicated

by crazyDCchick

*Written as a part of the Ghost Hunt Exchange Weekend for Tumblr user taemakesmewoozi* In her third year of high school, Mai swore that her heart was broken for the last time. She swore off romantic things from that day on, much to the dismay of Michiru and Keiko. Little did she know three years later she would meet someone who would complicate things. (Eventual MaixNaru)

4. Update

Hello everyone!

I am deeply sorry for the radio silence for almost two years! I did not mean to abruptly stop updating like I did. 2016 and 2017 have been the hardest years of my life. So, let me give you guys a little glimpse into my life the past two years and hopefully starting in January I'll be able to get back into writing and come back to these stories that you all (and I) love so dearly!

In February of 2016, my grandparents got into a car accident and a week later my grandmother passed away. I was able to upload a couple times since her passing, but I started going into an internal slump and went through a season of denial and depression. I just had no motivation to update or write. Six months later, I changed my major and a day later my grandfather passed away. (Dying of a broken heart is real, folks. When you've been with someone for over 60 years and suddenly they're gone, you just lose your will to live.)

Managed to get out of my depressive slump and created a new story (Yuri! in the Ring) but university work became a top priority as I started my senior year in January of 2017. I had an internship in Summer 2017 and did very little writing. What writing I did do was published on AO3 for the Shameless fandom. Once my last semester started in August, life decided to throw curve balls at me. In September my father was diagnosed with lung cancer (don't smoke kids, it'll ruin your lives) and two months later he passed away. I just barely managed to graduate almost three weeks ago with my bachelor's degree.

Needless to say, lots of emotional and mental turmoil has been happening in my life the past two years.

Starting in January I'll be starting my Master's degree and HOPEFULLY I will be able to spend more time writing these stories again. I'll be pursuing a master's in English- Creative Writing so fingers crossed I'll find my way out of the slump I've been in and get back to writing! I do miss it!

Please know that I have not and will not ever abandon my Ghost Hunt stories, no matter how hard it's gonna be to get back into writing them and figure out where the plots were going. It will take me some time to get back writing, so please bear with me as I start getting back into writing.

I love you all and wish you a very Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! Here's to 2018 and the hope that life will be less of a jerk to all of us!

Love,
