The note I posted in ISWAM on November(?) last year before I unpublished it... Oops. I just left people confused by removing this as well. Sorry 'bout that.
This might upset some of you who love the "It Started" series, but I'm discontinuing this series indefinitely. "Indefinitely" meaning that I might come back to it one day, but I don't want any of you to keep hoping for it. I honestly had high hopes for this book, even back then when I first published it in my old account in old Wattpad when people were more... interactive, should I say. Then again, teenager ambitions, but that's not the reason why I'm cutting off this book.
I really cannot tell if I tried or not to keep myself to continue this series. Well, maybe I did, if you read the outline of the series in my profile description. I even started writing the third book and outlined the alternative endings, but I guess I just fallen out of love with the story. I came up with the story when I was around 12, published it here when I was 13, rewritten the story when I was 17, and now that I'm about to turn 19, I think I've burnt out somewhere along the way.
Having based the characters on people I know, it was truly a fun ride, but some of us grew apart, our relationship changed, I changed, and that took a really weird turn in the story itself too. I don't want to sound very sappy, but it is true. The latest chapter ended on a really depressing note, and honestly, I cannot continue writing this way in my current condition. Who knows? When I get better, I might come back.
I'm not going to stop writing. I have other works like "Melt My Frozen Heart" and "My Other Half" which are part of a supernatural – not the tv series. Calm your bosoms, SPN members. – and paranormal series that I'm going to continue writing, that's for sure. To anime fans who love Free!, I have a fanfic series for that too. I might add some one-shots along the way. I used to write for the fun of it by sharing fun parts of my experiences when I was "younger-er," but not anymore. I just want to write things that I love now, and I have fallen out of love with the It Started series.
I'm not really sure what to do with the current published chapters of ISWAD and ISWAM. I am definitely sure that I'll unpublish the ISWAM chapters, save this one. As for ISWAD, I am either going to private the entire book, keep it on Fictionpress, or end it up like ISWAM. If you want to catch up or reminisce on the story, you have until the end of the month to do so. Until then, I'll enjoy the chapters I've posted these past two years.
I really do hope you'll understand. Love 'ya.

Updated Note (February 2018)
Nothing has changed. I'm still keeping the sequel unpublished and unfinished. I'm thinking of rewriting this book again or the sequel. Probably the sequel. But not for a long time. If you stick that long enough to see it, I honestly will be really thankful.
I'm still in some sort of a bad place mentally, so I really don't think I should continue writing the "It Started..." series for my own sake. Not to mention I have college to focus on. I'm just too busy these days.
HOWEVER! If you do like to read the published chapters of ISWAM, the chapters are still up on my FictionPress. That's kind of like the archive for my works. I'll leave an external link if it will work.
So... I apologize for confusing a lot of people, and I hope you guys do understand. Love 'ya.
