hey everyone (ehe),
so ... i guess we should address the elephant in the room... yes, it's true. i did get a haircut!
seriously though, i deeply want to apologize to current & previous readers for the sudden discontinuing of this story. although i don't expect forgiveness, i understand the frustration as a reader when a story unsatisfyingly ends.
i don't intend to finish this. blunt as it is, but i have unfortunately have fallen out of lookism. i felt it became to confusing and just stopped reading. also, as lookism is a ongoing comic, it was extremely hard to update while also going back to edit chapters so it follows the comic's storyline.
my next problem following was my writing. i feel my writing has grown a lot from what it was in 2018-2019 and it's sooo irritating to read the way my characters were written and how i structured my paragraphs.
writing is a wonderful thing and this account was built on helping me improve my skills.
i've grown into a lot of passions that i'd love to write about, but i'm not sure exactly how to. i've noticed my writing has blossomed and taken on a more... matured tone (heh). there are more darker themes and details that sort of become a bore in my opinion. i don't know if i'd maybe open a new account and start from scratch or if i should redirect you all to there (i just don't want to cause disappointment).
i think i'm rambling again.
when i first created this story, i didn't have the understanding of a lot of foundations such as plagiarism (which i used to mistaken as inspiration), dialogue (which were grammatically always wrong lol), and structure (as i mentioned). do i read my work & cringe? yes. do i regret it? a little.
seriously, i really, really want to apologize.
as a young writer, it's hard to grasp all of the ethical things that came with writing. i want to believe i educated, grew and fixed my mistakes, but that is not up to me.
when i first started writing pauperism, it was "inspired" by Animalism— an extremely well written Lookism story by poppyayay who i absolutely adore and respect for their writing that somehow manages to bring back so many memories.
i remember writing my story and using their character as a basis for my own & i want to apologize to them. i'm not sure if they're still around or read my works, but i 100% feel so guilty when my readers informed me it was essentially plagiarism. i went back to change my character to be a person of their own, to have situations that dipped into fantasy and reality, but i still feel extremely guilty. again, i don't expect forgiveness nor want it, but i want to inform you of the misconceptions following this work.
as for what is next to come, i'm not sure. i do not have the intent to keep this account, but i do intend to have my works up for nostalgic purposes (lolll) and want to continue writing and growing.
again, for all of the inconveniences, the terrible grammar and nonsense this letter speaks of, i apologize and wish you all the best.
