Dear Redux Readers,

Thank you all so much for reading Redux and leaving your valuable feedback and votes for me.

I'm really sorry but I need to take a break from this story for a while.

I'll be honest with you, the story idea excited me in the beginning, but now it just bothers me. Writing this story drains me and I cannot continue to write it. I always want to maintain a certain level of quality in whatever I write, and I am afraid I can't do it for Redux.

I've always had a bone to pick with the writers of Sadda Haq for how they handed such a promising premise and didn't use characters to their full potential.  That was the main motivation , the genesis of Redux.

As of now, I cannot relate to Sandhir as a writer and I don't want to write something that will be substandard and disappointing for me and my readers . I've always written for myself first and I  have always thought any one who read my words were just lucky shipmates on my little pirate ship of dreams. 

There are far better writers (( Saffi, Kahiliginger and many other writers that you know already)who execute Sandhir in a way that I never will  thanks to my lack of emotional involvement with these characters. 

I am at a time in my life where I am only able to write what I feel.  And what I feel is that it is time to stop cursing the fact that I wasted so much time and energy on a TV show.

Maybe I'll come back to redux when I can think more rationally.  When I have the maturity to write characters who I don't adore.

I don't know.

I'll, however, be continuing my Vidarth fictions, for they are my OTP, and my muses. What Sandhir are to Sandhir lovers, Vidarth are to me, and I cannot yet give up on Vidarth, who were the first actual couple I wrote a fanfiction for. Call it nostalgia or clinging to a safety blanket. We all have couples we will ship forever, so forgive me for being a  fellow fangirl.

I hope I can overcome this limitation soon. I really want to grow as a writer.

Please don't bash me for how I feel or call me a Sandhir hater. If you have any constructive criticism or ways for me to get over this writing block, I'll be more than happy to have your words.

Always yours,

Ashlesha.
