For the foreseeable future, this story will no longer be updated on FFN, only Ao3, SV, and SB. You may find any of these three by simply googling it. You may also just jump right to the pa tre on at p a treon . com (slash) Sendicard , which will continue to get updates and be ahead of Ao3, SV, and SB by a noticable margin.

Now that the initial message has been given, here's my thoughts and reasonings and why.

I grew up on this site. I made friends, I made enemies, I received death threats and congratulated/consoled other authors for receiving the same. There used to be this strange pride with being a member of the fanfiction community and I held my head up high. I joined forums, I spread my wings, I ended up writing elsewhere but I always had this itch in the back of my head. I always wanted to come back here, host a popular story, and interact with my fans like my favorite authors used to do with me.

That hasn't happened. From moment one I had issues with the upload formatting. People used to say "I didn't make that typo FFN did", it was an old joke we'd tell, but it actually is creating typos and eating paragraphs and sometimes intertwining sentences randomly. Sure, I've probably gotten most of the stuff but I promise there are nonsensical lines in this story that I didn't write. There's also hard hitting lines missing, and emotional moments missing the emotion because FFN decided to completely change a word.

It got rid of my formatting attempts early in, and I had to redo the system messages in bold, then I gave up because even bold didn't always go through.

I receive regular reports that chapters aren't showing up for people, which is a huge problem since FFN is already a month+ behind SV/SB and 3 to 4 months behind the supporter base.

Worse off, instead of reviews and fans to interact with, I regularly get spam messages and fake acolades. I'm prompted at least 6 times a week to buy AI art from a bot pretending to like my story, and instead of glee I feel dread whenever someone follows because I know I'll be receiving a message in 20 minutes about how great my work is and how much they'd love to be my private artist.

For fanfiction, to be clear. They want to make art of my fanfiction, you can't make this shit up.

I don't remember the last time an FFN member joined my dis cord community, or the pa tre on, or even left a fucking review. Every chapter I post here is a chance one of you is mislead into thinking you're getting an okay experience. It's another chance for you to cope, to believe this site isn't dying.

For the three people that get this message right away, and to the rest of you that get it in a couple of months randomly because FFN happened to work for twelve seconds.
I got my dream of being a popular writer, I did it years ago and I did it again here.
It's just not on FFN.

Come join my community elsewhere, the experience is better on a site made in the last 20 years, I promise.
