Boy, do I hate these author's notes.
Sorry, as the title speaks this is not a new chapter. There will be another chapter, soon-ish.
I think it's just time that I talk for a bit.
To put it bluntly, it's been over a year that I haven't watched/read/listened to anything pertaining to the franchise Hetalia.
The idea of "I'll Never Call You Maestro" started in 8th grade, and it has been three years that my strong motivations for this fanfiction have gradually been drifting.
If you had noticed how long it was taking for me to update even a single chapter, here are my reasons.
I come out to you as a person who enjoyed it immensely in my middle school years, but new things have taken my interests to far away lands.
I don't have the same motivations and excitements for waking up and wanting to immediately begin working on "Maestro" as I did a year or two ago.
Simply put; it's not as fun anymore.
I kept pondering, over and over, about what should be done with this fic. I had sorted out the ending, and I knew that I wouldn't be writing any more Hetalia fanfiction after this. God, I feel bad because I'm in the position you're in. I have read very entertaining fanfiction of many different fandoms, and have felt angry, sad, and disappointed when the author gave it up because they no longer were a part of that fandom. I would think to myself, What the fuck? This series is so good! How could anyone give it up or lose interest?
I get it now. I dropped out of Doctor Who too, and I still think that show is absolutely incredible.
I won't be like those authors, though. I'll see this thing to completion. I need it to be completed, to move on with my writing life.
I hope that my honesty doesn't make any of your positive feelings for "Maestro" sour. I love Spamano, it's a ship that will always be an OTP of mine in my heart.
Finishing will be a challenge for me, but a healthy challenge. I must overcome my weakness to develop the skill to write on a schedule, it's a learning experience for me. "Maestro" is a learning experience for me.
A silver lining to this would be that I have written many Homestuck fanfiction that is of much better quality than what my 8th and 9th grade self could have written. I am also working on original stories. There will still be more of me, so keep on watching. Keep on.
I would like to hear your thoughts and feelings on my confession, please tell me in the comments below. Thank you, guys.
