Author's Note

561 Words
Hey everyone, I'm sure you are wondering what the hell I've been up to since I haven't updated in.. jeez, almost a year now.  I'm sincerely sorry for the wait.  I have been reading and rereading comments and reviews left by you, and honestly they mean the world to me. I never expected this story to receive so much support across all the platforms I published it on, and it makes me unbelievably happy that so many people enjoyed it.  I hate to have to say this, but I have fallen out of love with this story. I was rereading it a few days ago, and the amount of cringe I sustained would have killed a lesser woman. So what I'm saying is that I will not be continuing this story – or at least this version of it.  I thought it cruel to make you all wait for an update that would never come, so here I am telling you straight up that chapter 13 was the last one for this draft.  I have been playing around with the idea of rewriting this story completely, since I really have grown as an author and can think of much better subplots than what I have now, and I'm also unhappy with how violently cis-het it is... not to say being cis-het is a bad thing, I just think I could really improve the story by adding a few l***q+ characters to the cast. So, if I ever do rewrite it, I will definitely change the orientations of some of the existing characters and add a few new ones.  I have a couple ideas bouncing around already about what I want to happen in the rewrite, so I might work on that when I have motivation again.  A lot has happened in the past year, and now its Corona (fuuuuun) and I'm in my second last year of school so there's just a bunch of stress on me right now, so I'm really very sorry for making y'all wait so long. The truth is I thought of maybe continuing this and just ending it in a... meh.. typa way, but then I thought of how different the writing would be and how boring the plot line would CONTINUE to be, so I decided to put you all out of your misery and type this author's note.  Again, big sorry, I really did have plans for this book and it was my One True Love for a very long time, but I'm just not feeling it anymore. I am working on a couple other works at the moment, which are – in my opinion – a lot better than this one, but I'm not posting them until I've definitively decided to finish them because I don't want what happened here to happen again...  What I AM writing now though is fanfiction (big surprise, I know) so come on over to Tumblr and yell at me if you want, my username is @spoopyghostbones, and if you guys want I will post another note detailing how this book was supposed to end (even though it physically pains me). Again, so sorry for making you wait a year. Thank you so so so much to everyone who read this far and who stuck with the story and commented and reviewed, it means a lot more to me than you know. Happy self-isolating (and wear your masks please!) - Abi
