Private Life

Decisions - not a chapter

As the title of this chapter suggests, decisions are to be made regarding this story. So, in my first chapter I said that I wasn't sure how I felt writing a story based on a real person.

I'm fine with (most) fanfictions written about characters who are made-up, but something hasn't been sitting right with me. I've boiled it down to two things:

1. How would I feel?
This is just putting it into perspective. Thinking about how I would feel if someone made a story about me and made me "date" someone. But then, I also think about how it's really not that big of a deal. And then I go back to thinking about me actively writing a romance story about a real, live, person. Something just makes me a little 🥴🥴🥴 meh.

2. How I feel when I write the story.
Honestly, for some reason, I feel kinda shitty. I don't know why. And I'm being completely open with you guys too. What are the chances that Timmy would actually see this story? So small I shouldn't even worry about it. But I do. I think it's because I'm not totally in love with the idea that I'm writing a story about someone.

I am also not wanting to belittle or bash others work just because writing this specific kind of fan fiction is not for me. Sometimes it's fun and entertaining to read this kind of story. But for me, I don't think it's the kind I personally write.

I think if I were to write another fanfiction it would be about a fictional character. If I were to write another story with a plot similar to this it would be with NO real people. I would have to say bye to Timmy. And I'm okay with that.

I know all of this is kind of obnoxious and my anxiety ridden brain is clearly taking over in some parts. But as of now, this story will not continue.

I am forever grateful for all of the votes and all of the comments on this story. I honestly cannot believe that this story has over 24k reads. My other stories have like 500... max. Thank you for all your kind words and your uplifting comments. I am not able to describe the happiness they have brought me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are amazing.

I hope you guys respect and understand my decision. It wasn't an easy one but it is something that has been eating at the back of my mind and I finally feel better about myself... a little.

Thank you
