Percy Jackson/Heroes Of Olympus Headcanons & One-Shots

The 3rd Anniversary Of FaeLovesFood

Hey guys...

As you can tell by the title, I've reached a pretty cool milestone. Yay. Woohoo. 3 years. Great!

But to be completely honest with you, I really don't feel comfortable with it.

I have barely posted anything this year due to my hectic schedule and I feel like, since nothing really PJO or HoO is published now (it's all just ToA and Magnus Chase). I mean, Percy and other characters appear here and there, but I don't fancy the idea of slowly straying away from what I started with; pure PJO and HoO. I've seen other books which dedicated themselves to PJO and HoO which got hate towards the end, just because the author decided to post less of that and more of the two aforementioned books. I'm a mild and really sensitive person who is seriously against all types of hate, and I've taken some even from this very book. Very direct hate comments. And I kinda cried for a while after reading them because you know, I cry every day, and replied in long paragraphs that honestly make me cringe now. So to avoid that from potentially happening again, I will not pursue writing about them here.

I've been thinking lately of maybe writing another two books; one about ToA and another about our boy MC. But honestly, I think I'd abandon it within a month after starting it.

So yeah...

It's been 3 years since I started, and you guys have been nothing but incredible. Some of you have been here since the early days, when I was just an amateur 11 year old girl who had no writing experience whatsoever aside from writing extremely long English essays. Now I'll be 15 in less than 2 months, and it's been an amazing journey.

Next year will be a really tough year for me. I have an important public exam at the end of the year that I really need to focus on. To top it all off, I have other school activities that'll keep me busy as well.

I'm not discontinuing this book (because I don't like the thought of saying that), but I'm l'm going to go more like... at my own pace.

I'm tired of coming home at 5:30pm every day just to stress for the rest of the night to get any idea of a headcanon or one-shot. I'm tired of updating within 10 minutes of brainstorming, giving headcanons that lack substance and are the spit of pressure, frustration and desperation. I'm tired of updating just for the sake of updating. So from now on, I'll just write when I have something to write (unless, of course, I start feeling guilty and force myself to write like I always do) and if I don't have anything, I won't. My other account, MakeBelieveWords has some of my writing there, but it's mainly deep stuff. I don't post on it too often either, but if you want 'new' content from me if I'm online, that would be a good place to start.

In the past, I have made promises that I didn't keep. I indirectly lied to so many of you. To all of you. So now, no more promises. No more promises as to what I'll be writing and when.

And now you're probably asking, "Why are you talking about this? What's going to happen to this book?"

In the past, I said I will not discontinue or give up on this book. I'm staying true to that. I have about 24 drafts here that are odds and ends from over the years; writing pieces that I started and never bothered to complete. If I someday manage to publish all 24 of them, I'll have reached my 200 chapter limit. And from then on, that will be the inevitable end.

I want to thank every single one of you for being here. FaeLovesFood has been a great solace to me, being the bridge to all of you. I made some really good friends here in the early days. To be honest, most of them are also as inactive as me now except for some of those who message me occasionally telling me they miss me or where I've been. I don't know if it's some phase some writers here go through...?

Anyway. FaeLovesFood has given me so much. A reader following. A teeny tiny fanbase that I wish I could say is growing but is in reality, dying. A massive read count on this book that stills wows me to this day. Not everyone can achieve that. But with your support and help, I did.

Thank you for every single thing you've tolerated with me. All my ranting and irrelevant updates on this book. I love all of you to bits and I couldn't be more thankful for everything you have given me. You guys are awesome. Three years with me. Three years of being a part of FaeLovesFood.

Again, I don't know when I'll be coming back here to post.

But it's not the end just yet.
