Copy and paste message to all my threads: Hiatus and the reasons for it.
Dear readers, favorers, and followers of Michael in Arizona:
Hello, everyone. Thank you to everyone who has supported my threads by reading, favoring, and following them. Retroactive to April 1st, 2024, all of my threads will be on hiatus through at least the end of May. There are multiple reasons for this but the main reason is very embarrassing. It has recently come to my attention that I have legitimately forgotten a lot of my own content. I have seen recent reviews on or PMs about my threads from various guests and members referencing certain things happening in certain chapters and have gone back to read said chapters to realize I had completely forgotten things that had happened in my stories. In some of my stories, I have been struggling recently with where to go next and part of the problem is how much I've forgotten of how much I've already written. I am taking a step back from adding new chapters to my threads and I am going to take some time over the next month and a half or so to thoroughly reread and refamiliarize myself with all of my own threads. Readers of each individual thread will be addressed below this general message:
Dear readers of Harry Potter and the Yellow Quartet:
Thank you everyone who has made Harry Potter and the Yellow Quartet a success. This story gained new favorers and followers at a nice clip when it was first published and is still attracting some new readers. Yellow Quartet is actually a significant contributing factor in my need for a hiatus. This story has well over 100 chapters and I know I've forgotten a lot of content and events about this story, especially from its earliest days. I'm not quite sure where to go next and part of the problem is how much I've forgotten about previous content and events in this story. A through rereading of this story by me is in order in order to refamiliarize myself with it all. Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah were always meant to be a very intimate quartet but it's worthing noting that in some ways it can be said that it's actually two pairs of besties combining to form a quartet. I've always seen Harry and Amy as well as Susan and Hannah as besties in this story. I see Harry and Amy having the closest and most intimate friendship in this story. One chapter I do remember well is chapter 1 as I've always been happy with the way I had Harry's and Amy's friendship first form by having them exchange acts of kindness to each other. Harry Potter and the Yellow Quartet will be a major priority thread for me when this hiatus is lifted but I do need to give it some significant review. I do promise that I will NOT be like Darling Clementine but instead will be like Frosty the Snowman!
