10k, 50k

Thank you for 50k: 29/04/2026

So, I know I said I was shocked about 10k but this is actually mindboggling. 

Obviously I got all emotional about my journey starting fanfiction when I was saying thank you for 10k but it has only continued since then. It's been rough, not just with putting fics on hold and rewriting and whatnot but also in my personal life in the last few years. 

I'm not planning on going into too much detail but writing still remains a source of comfort in my life. High school had its ups and downs, now that I'm in college there are still more ups and downs. I've felt like my life is over ten seconds before feeling like I could conquer the whole dam world. 

The main thing that has remained consistent through all this has been my characters, my love for fanfiction and how much your support means to me. Obviously with how long I spent not updating Inferno because of exams and other problems its nowhere near as popular as it was. 

Is that going to slow me down? Absolutely not. I have so much planned and I really hope you guys like it cause my god have I been spending a lot of time on this stuff. 

Once again, thank you so much for the support, the votes the comments, even just seeing that number of reads tick up slowly genuinely makes my day. Knowing people are enjoying my work and that I can bring a smile to their faces motivates me to an insane degree. 

I hope you all can continue to enjoy the work I put out and are doing well yourselves. I'm honestly so grateful for you all.

Wow, that's definitely not something I was expecting to write today.

I remember when I first started writing fanfiction. I was literally in bed on my laptop reading during the summer holidays when I realised wait, are there any fanfics on a child of Pan? I looked, there was none. I thought that was a massive missed opportunity, Pan got basically two seconds of screen time (or book time whatever) I basically had complete creative liberty.

So I started writing. I wrote the first few chapters and was like wow, that sucks and left it for about a month. Then I was going through my files and found it, the word document I had been writing on. So I edited the first few chapters just to see if I could get it to sound at least somewhat entertaining and I liked it. I had fun writing.

So I kept doing it.

I also remember when I first hit 1k reads. Not a huge milestone by any means but at that point I had been used to about 1 read a day, not massive progress aside from every now and then someone just speedrunning the entire book in a night (I appreciate you psychos <3).

I was walking home and I checked Wattpad, not expecting much. And there it was. 1k. I literally ran the rest of the way home. At that point, I was struggling with my mental health and wasn't really talking to anyone so writing had become my therapy. I'd even started a bunch of stories that are in my drafts as I write this which I never finished. 

So to see that 1k was the happiest I had been in a long time. And I appreciate you guys for it. 

(By the way, don't worry, I've started going to a sort of therapist. My school set me up with one because they noticed my grades were dropping and I was coming into school on like 2 hours of sleep a day.)

And now I have 10k. Still, to some this might not seem like much. But to me this means a lot. And I mean a lot. Like enough to get me to touch grass, I know, crazy. 

Thank you for enjoying my stupid humour, thank you for reading my story, thank you for helping me through a difficult time in my life, even if you didn't know you were. Thank you for making my day better, every time I saw a notification that someone had voted or commented.
