After so many years, I'm finally declaring this to be on indefinite hiatus.
This will most probably not come as a surprise, seeing as this story hasn't been touched since 2015.
As I mentioned in my profile, I am more of a reader than a writer and that conveying my ideas isn't a very easy process for me.
However, this issue is not the core reason for this decision.
Firstly, writing is not my priority and thus, I do not really entertain the idea of juggling that along with my studies and life.
The second reason is more significant, I suppose. I haven't actually watched TVD or TO beyond a few episodes in the first and second seasons. The rest of my knowledge about these fandoms come from fanfictions, which, suffice to say, are not a solid enough foundation for me to write with confidence. This also means that I have not caught up with major parts of the content (i.e. everything after the first half of TO S2) which I believe should not be flippantly ignored for the sake of convenience.
Of course, that IS an option that I have considered. It certainly is appealing to pretend nothing of interest happened past the events of Kol's resurrection (and consequent death? My memory is hazy.) Despite this, there is a lingering concern that ignoring the occurrence of importent events in canon may upset some readers, and yes, I do admit that it is a pity to brush off so much content.
The decision of whether or not to ignore the events of The Originals post-S1 is a dilemma. The questions I have about what to do about Kol and perhaps Freya and Finn are decisions I am not ready to make.
To top it off, I am also uncertain on the general direction I want this story to take. I'm not entirely sure of my capability to write a deep, lengthy story.
Will the relationship between Henrik and Davina remain platonic, or will it venture into the romantic realm?
What am I to do about the Kolvina that i witnessed in S2?
I don't expect readers to carefully read all that I have typed above, but if you are one of those who didn't, at least pay attention to this:
I won't be taking this down, just so that people will know about its existence. I might come back to this after I gain motivation to write and I decide what to do, which means I have to actually sit my arse down to watch TO (which is really time consuming). If I do start writing this again, I will probably spare you readers the second round of pain of waiting and write chapters in advance.
I don't plan to touch this for the foreseeable future, but I do have my heart set on writing a TMIxTID xover one day (details in profile). But to do that, I have to finish the TMI series and reread TID... Yay me.
Please, give me suggestions on what I should do about my concerns for this fic (listed above and in profile) via review or PM. It would really help with the decision-making.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO STILL READ AND SUPPORT THIS STORY. I SELFISHLY HOPE YOU LIVELY PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS TILL IT REVIVES. I am always watching out for this story :)
Feel free to PM me to bug me and give suggestions XD I doubt anyone will though...
Cheers,
This terrible excuse of an author.
