Hello, fellow Fanimaniacs!

Well, here we are. On May 2nd, 2020, I discovered the glory that is fanfiction- you know, the thing that has unlocked whole worlds for me, led me to make countless friends, and the reason I'm sitting here typing this. But there's another reason I'm writing this note.

…yeah. It's been a while. Again. Here's a note acknowledging that and apologizing. Again. This time, it's a little different.

I discovered Animaniacs over 3 years ago now, and since that time I've gone through several other phases: Hamilton, Eddsworld, The Owl House (to a lesser extent), and currently Fall Out Boy. Animaniacs still holds a special place in my heart, though it has moved to the backseat over time.

For the past few months, I haven't been writing much at all- in general, but especially my Animaniacs fics. I've begun to realize there's a chance I may never finish said fics, and while that makes me a little sad, I'm okay with it. Animaniacs is a very important part of my life. It helped me through a pandemic, led me to discover fanfiction, and helped me to realize my love of writing. I'm not sure I've ever loved anything as much as my 11-12 year old self loved Animaniacs. Writing this is bittersweet for me- Animaniacs has been such a big part of my life, it's a little hard admitting I've been moving on from it.

I'm writing this because I worried I was starting to turn into one of those authors who stops updating and disappears without a trace. While there's nothing wrong with that, I didn't want to do it myself. I may not be very active on my account, but I still am on it frequently. I still read many stories on this site, though I don't always leave reviews, and I still read an absolutely unhealthy amount of fanfiction overall (half joking). If you PM me, I will almost certainly reply.

I understand that some parts of this seem cliche or don't flow very well, and that's because I'm not really sure how to say all of this. I've thought about it a lot recently, trying to make some decisions. In the end, I'm really just trying to speak from the heart.

I don't know how many people read my stories anymore, but if you do, thank you! Your support over the past few years has really helped my writing. My update schedule isn't the most reliable, so it truly means a lot that you stuck with me during this journey. This community is the most amazing place a nerdy Animaniacs fangirl could hope to have. Thanks to my friends and those who have supported me from the beginning, you know who you are.

And thanks to you, for taking the time to read this.

This isn't a goodbye letter. I'm still here, just quieter.

Signing off for now (but never logging out),
