Update?

Hi! Thank you all so much for reading this book, I don't how you can do it because it physically makes me cringe.

This one was one of my first fics, I took down my actually first two, and I guess for when I wrote it it was pretty good.

But, I read all the comments and I go back to see what you all comment on and I get such bad embarrassment from this book. Not because the story is bad, but just because of how I wrote it and explained things.

My writing style has changed drastically. I'm working on publishing an actual book and coming back to see this monstrosity is crazy.

I decided to make this because I know people would see this more than on my board where I asked this question previously.

I'm a indecisive person and decided to come to the readers who would actually care about this story than I do.

I've been thinking of maybe rewriting the book. I wouldn't take any chapters down, it would just be like editing the book, deleting things that do nothing for the story, try to give the characters more personality, add more description because I realized this book is very heavy on dialogue, and add some stuff that experienced plot holes, etc.

It would just be an editing process. Buttt, the predicament is that I am not a big part of this fandom anymore. I love this movie, it's one of my comfort movies, I just have fallen out of the fandom since it's been years without content.

Honestly, one of the big reasons I want to rewrite this is because while I was looking through comments on this book, I saw multiple people say this is their comfort book and it literally almost made me cry because that's what I want so much. To make people happy and feel safe with my writing, which is why I want to publish books one day. But I feel like this book could be so much better.

I know there were a few chapters that should've had a trigger warning from the start of the book and didn't have it for like almost the entirety of the writing process, and everyone hated on me for it. I felt really bad but when I started writing this book, I didn't really understand TW and what their purpose was, I was still new to writing and once I understood, I felt guilty and I just felt really bad. I hope you all forgive me for that, but I understand if you don't <3

I do still ship Reddie and if you guys agree with me that this book could go through some change then I will rewrite it/edit it! I just need to get an opinion on this I guess, because I want readers to enjoy this book.

Thanks for reading, love you all 🤍
