Okay, I usually don't write long A/N, but this might be a bit long :)
Well, welcome to The Catharsis. Copyright stuff:
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
Now that that's out of the way, here's some trigger warnings. Some things that will be in this story (Among other things) :
-Neglect
-Death
-Drinking
-Drug use
-LGBT+ relationships
-Suicide
-Graphic language (Not much, but some)
Basically, there's a lot of triggering material in here. The reason for that is not to make readers uncomfortable. Honestly, as the title suggests, writing this story has been something of a catharsis for me to think about a lot of these things that are otherwise considered taboo or have stigma attached to them. They aren't things that are easy to talk about, and my automatic reaction, when I can't talk about something, is to write about it.
That being said, it's your choice to read on. Do so at your own discretion. Any scenes with graphic content with be made private, so you'll have a warning, at least. Let me know if you see a chapter you think should be made private. (Follow me to access private chapters. There probably won't be any in THIS volume, though, so don't worry about it.)
Chapters are named after songs.
Umm, the cover will probably change fairly often.
I'm not completely finished writing this yet, but I'm going to go ahead and say it's the longest piece I've ever worked on. So far, it's 220 google docs pages. I'm anticipating at least 350 by the time I'm done. I'll break up the chapters a little for the wattpad version, so I'm warning you. This is going to be quite a ride.
I wasn't sure I was going to post this, just because it's so heavy. But it's become my pet project and I love it too much not to share it <3 This story is literally my baby.
Anyway, I'll probably think of more disclaimers I need to post here later. But for now, that's all.
EDITS:
*Will be updated AT LEAST once every two weeks, usuall week ly
*Oh, and yes, I am NeverCatchMe . This book was just too gory for my main page.
*If you read Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Which I took down months ago) You might recognize some of the characters such as Amethyst, Jay and Cole. This story basically spawned from that one.
*There will be several volumes of this book, each 40 chapters long.
*most chapters are 1-2k words in length
Without further ado,
The Catharsis . . .
