See you around?

Dear humans and readers,

I know you probably know what I'm going to say next, but I have to say it anyways.

This book, this (hopefully) wonderful book, has been stuck in my mind for the past two years. I thought that Wattpad was the perfect place to let it all out and to let other people see my work, and that has proved true to some extent.

Thank you, to all 3000 of you who took the time to read some part of my hard work. And thank you, to the 63 of you who voted (even though I think I still have a long way to go before I reach the Wattys kind of level).

I know this might be a big let-down, and I know I would be mad if some author just went "oh i lack motivation so imma leave this book hanging" because there's nothing worse to me than an unfinished story, whether one that I'm reading or writing. I'm sorry for Ravlynne too, because I love all of my characters and she deserved a happy ending.

There's a couple of reasons I can't squeeze out anymore chapters, and the simplest is that I have writer's block. Chronic writer's block that can't seem to stop like that really bad on-and-off flu.

Now, writer's block is caused by a lack of motivation, and this lack of motivation was caused by something else.

To be blunt, the problem was me (and at teatime everyone agrees). I know that the Beyblade fandom is dying day by day. Old die-hard fans are dropping out of the community, in favour or the newer, cooler anime.

Why watch a couple of kids play with plastic tops when you can watch JJK? MHA? BSD? AOT? Chainsaw Man? Assassination Classroom? Hunter x Hunter? Spy x Family? Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? Fairy Tail? Death Note? The list goes on and on. I'm not saying you shouldn't watch those (in fact, I highly encourage you to EXCEPT for jojo), but just that no one wants to watch BBB if you have those shows that are "so much better"

But I grew up with the toys, the characters, so I wanted to finish this as some sort of tribute to them. Like a hopeful goodbye.

So there it is. I'm a hypocrite, I know, but I'm falling out of the fandom too. I see the flaws in the show. I get why it can't last. But at the same time, I still feel like that kid who watched Beyblade Burst for the first time and got so, so, SO, mad at the last episode in season 1 when Valt lost because of a dumb crack in the arena (still kinda mad about it).

I'm not discontinuing this book. I don't really like throwing around that word, because it suggests the deaths of so many ideas, so many hours put into this. I guess I'm going on a hiatus, then.

I'll still be around, just not gonna sign in very often. Might comment on one or two fics now and then. I'm also on AO3, so if you wanna chat just comment here (disclaimer: don't go on there too often if you're below thirteen which I know some of you are, it gets pretty intense there).
