Hello everyone that is a fan of Stars and Jaded Angel. I think you know what this message is about and I think its times to finally talk about the future of those stories. While I feel many wish to hear that these stories are about to continue, I think we all know that this message is about the stories being discontinued.

I know many people are against this idea. But there was many factor leading to me finally making the decision to do so.

I will tell you everything about the stories and the factors leading up to the decision. I will talk about the up and downs of these stories and the struggle I dealt with writing these stories.

Without further ado let's get the long explanation over with.

Victorious and Naruto crossover story, on paper sounded like a bad idea. A story about teenagers going to a school to become famous, while the other side of the coin was a story about a boy with a demon trapped inside him trying to be accepted by everyone. These two just sounded wrong to be put together. But somehow I was able to find a way to make it work. Believe it or not that was actually the easy part of making the story.

When I made the story I just thought what if I took out the entire ninja part of Naruto and make him become a normal kid. Again that was the easy part. While there was a part of me that thought of going around and making Naruto not have parents I decided against it, mainly due to the fact that Naruto parents were revealed recently at the time. With that mindset people were shown the Naruto characters as normal people and how I thought they would have a job in our real world. I was happy hearing how people enjoyed seeing Naruto characters as normal people.

Many might wonder how come I didn't just put the Victorious characters in the Naruto world. Well that would be harder to write. Ranging from what abilities they would have to how they would dress in the Naruto world. I felt it would just be easier putting Naruto characters into the Victorious world.

Let's talk about the pairing. Naruto Uzumaki and Cat Valentine. Many might ask why I picked those two to be the pairing for the first Victorious/Naruto story. The reasons as to why it's actually very simple. On the Naruto side they just revealed his mother, Kushina. Who was a red headed. That was the big factor. Another reason was I felt if I paired him with Tori Vega the main star of the show would have been playing it too safe. Plus on a personal side I thought Ariana Grande was just prettier then Victoria Justice. In case people are wondering I am no older than the cast of Victorious. I am a year older then the cast in case people thought it was a old man writing that.

And I truly did enjoyed all the positive reviews I got from everyone. They did bring a smile to my face when I read them.

So far I have only talked about the ups of the story. But now time to talk about the downs.

One of the biggest downs, and I will never forget this, was the fact that the very first time I posted the first chapter, all that chapter brought out was one review and a small handful of people putting it on their favorites and alerts. That was soul crashing cause the story only got one review. But I decided to try another chapter or two to see if the results would change or not. And I can say it did.

Another down was writing a chapter based off one of the episodes. In order to write those chapters I had to rematch an episode minute by minute, second by second. Imagine people re-watching every scene 10 to 15 times. That slowly makes you bored of a series because you can't find humor after watching a scene so many times. So after re-watching and typing the chapter the chapter itself is about 12 thousand words.

This was probably the easy part. The hard part was finding a way to have Naruto interacted. It was just finding a way to make it seem it was natural not force in anyway. That part I felt I did okay. I could've done better. But this is not me crying about that it.

But writing a chapter that was 12k words and the payoff was 10 reviews was not the best thing to see. I felt I did more work and got little in return. When I wrote a chapter that was 3k for another story I got more in return. It kinda doesn't encourage me to write long chapters if I was getting little in return. Again many factors to those people leaving reviews. Grammar, detail, etc all are factors.

Somehow this story became my claim to fame story. It slowly became the most popular story that I had ever written. Because of that I felt I had to keep writing for the story and got little enjoyment out of writing the story. That somehow I created a monster that I was feeding and slowly taking my sanity with it. The more I written for it the less joy I felt writing. So I decided to take a break from writing to see if I can regain the spark for the story.

But it did not happen.

Every time I tried writing for this story I felt like I was forcing myself to write. That nothing came to mind how to write a chapter and no matter how much I tried nothing came out.

That's when I knew that this story was poison to myself. If you get no enjoyment from writing the story there's no reason to continue on with it. If I had tried to continue with the story I would be forcing myself and nothing would come out enjoyable. It would of gotten dull and boring as time went on.

That's why I am putting down the notice that this story is being discontinued as of today.

Would I ever come back and fix the past chapters?

There is a chance for that. I feel like all those chapters do need cleaning up with.

Would I come back and give a short story?

That is a maybe.

But its time for the final message from this fanfic.

From the bottom of my heart.

Thank you everyone that was on the ride for these stories. Thank you all that made writing enjoyable.

Simply…

Thank you…
