COMPULSIVE || tokyo rev.

- editing.

oh my god, where have i been !? it's been four months !!

hi, yes, this is hades, your absolutely WONDERFUL author that TOTALLY doesn't disappear off of planet earth for approximately 18 weeks.

anyways, i haven't been gone because of anything serious. no general issues, just a big fat chuck of "i'm fixating on everything BUT tokyo revengers" right now because that helps my case a LOT, doesn't it?

i currently have 3 unpublished naruto fanfics, excluding the one ive recently publushed, and now i'm reading the entirety of hunter x hunter again AND i'm writing a hxh fanfic that includes an au based off of my favorite pathfinder game!! so you see, my crazy brain has been all over the place, so i haven't exactly been able to focus on one thing.

does that mean compulsive is done and over with? that i've moved on!? no!! if anything, the comments asking where compulsive IS is making me all the more motivated (which quite frankly isn't by much, but its something)!!

so of course, compulsive will come back, HOWEVER! only under the condition that i reread my entire book because i don't like the sentence structures!! because honestly!? it sucks!! i can do better!! (i can just HEAR my abience readers crying in the background after reading this) no, i will not rewrite the story for a third time, i'm simply uh. well. changing sentences? the actual plot will not change, but the sentence structures will? of that makes sense? yeaahh.

fr tho, it's like every time i take a break from writing and then go back to reread every chapter, only THEN do i notice ways i could improve my writing and make it flow better. my issue this time isn't the plot, it's just how i convey it with sentences and words.

is this how artists feel when they look at their really old drawings? they cringe? yeah. same feeling.

live laugh love grammar.

anyways, something else that i would like to mention is that school, for me, ends in 2 weeks. so what does that mean? im about to become a senior!! okay yeah thats  completely irrelevant--what it REALLY means is that i will not post the next chapter for at LEAST another 2 weeks, sorry to disappoint. i have a final to study for for algebra 2, and i do NOT intend to fail it.

afterward, though, i seriously can't promise when the next chapter will come out. to be real with you, there is a chance that compulsive will temporarily leave my mind again. however, i can say with confidence that i will not abandon this fanfiction. i simply need to regain my inspiration to continue it.

and to be blunt, yes i did go on a hiatus without actually notifying anyone, it was very--dare i say--​​​compulsive of me to do so!! (buh-dum-tiss)!! someone please laugh, im writing this editing notice at 4am in the morning

it's like i've completely skipped over the hiatus notice and went straight for the editing one. absolutely fantastic.

but, yeah, thats the gist of things. i do feel really bad about suddenly disappearing, as i know that it was INCREDIBLY abrupt and uncalled for. like, seriously, i updated every 2-8 days and then i just don't update for several months? how rude of me, i know.

and yes, if you couldn't tell already, i am in fact rambling. please forgive me. 🙏 

as my final apology: i am so sorry if you were hoping that this would be a chapter. i fully understand the crushing feeling that you get whenever you see that the fanfic you genuinely enjoy gives you the "updated" notification, only for it to not be a chapter at all. its absolutely devastating, i know, as im currently feeling the exact same way over a hxh fanfic that ive been reading. because how DARE they upload something that isnt a chapter!! (please, im kidding.)

anyways, i really hope to see yall around for the future of compulsive. once i finish editing, the next chapter shouldn't take long to complete. ive had like half of the next chapter done since i wrote the special, i just havent touched it since.

i wholeheartedly appreciate your patience.

♡ love you all, truly. ♡
