Genetics (GirlxGirl)

Important Author Note (Discontinued)

Hey everyone! Is anyone still following this story? Apparently yes, and had I not received an email about it, I wouldn't be here writing this. Anyway. I won't lie, it's been 2 years, but just so it's clear for everyone, I do not intend to work any further on this story.

Sorry!

Maybe you're wondering why? Or maybe you're not, but i'll still explain a bit, because why not. But before that, let me reintroduce myself. It's been a while. Hi, i'm Nik, now 17, and i'm a nonbinary lesbian! You probably don't care about my life, but I still feel like this is important to put into words, at least for me. In case it wasn't already obvious, i've outgrown wattpad in the last few years (I'm mostly on AO3 now, actually. anyway) and no, I do not really intend to get back into things or revamp this story. I have considered it, but honestly, i'm over this, and I think that's okay! I'm gonna keep it real with yall, sometimes i'd rather forget all the shit that happened to me here, including some of the stuff I read. 2015-2017 was a wild period for me. 

I'm not saying wattpad is horrible, though. I have read a lot of shit I probably shouldn't have been reading at age 14, but well. This is still one of the first places where I was able to question my sexuality and identity, and i'm kinda grateful for that. It took some time before I was finally comfortable with who I am, but I am now. To any young teen that once was in my position, I say: it will be okay.

As for why I won't be continuing this story, the short answer would be: it's been two years, i've moved on and honestly, my old writing sucks. As for the longer answer, i'll say: the whole concept of this story was transphobic to begin with, and i'm no longer comfortable with writing or consuming such content now that i'm aware of this issue. I could probably rewrite this story completely with Genomia (what the f#ck kinda name was that by the way) as a trans woman but like I said, this ain't it for me. I could go on about all of the homophobic and transphobic content I consumed on here (and other places too) when I was a younger, naive teen, but I don't feel like this is the time and place. If you're really curious or confused though, you can still DM me about it. I'm probably not gonna delete this account, though I don't intend to use it for anything else

So yeah! I've grown up, i've learned a lot of things, and i've moved on with things. My advice: be weary of what you read on here and who you talk to. I know being a young teen and questioning who you are is hard and confusing, and internalized homophobia is one hell of a b!tch. If you ever want advice, don't hesitate to reach out. My dms are still open for anyone who needs advice or wants to find me on another social media.  With that finally said, after 2 years of radio silence, I say,

Logging out!
