HI EVERYONE
Okay so the last update was in 2013. You guys .... that was 6 years ago oh my GOD. I think a few years back I actually tried to pick this up again and finish but I just couldn't bring myself to get back into the mindset I had while writing it.
If you still remember this story, I don't. I re-read the last two chapters completely horrified. My recent obsession has been watching old reruns of "To Catch a Predator" (an old Dateline NBC TV show with Chris Hansen) and to be honest, when I was 16 (I was 16 when I wrote the last update) I was kind of oblivious to predation on minors and related subjects. Here, Henry is 26 and Violet in 17 almost 18 with an eight year age gap between the pair. As I re-read what I wrote, I realized some of what Henry was saying could be considered "grooming" where an older predator basically prepares the minor to have a relationship with them later on. I was basically writing about an illegal (in more than one way) relationship and I'm not sure if I can continue knowing what I know now. I like the goofy character Henry and the shy Violet but I regret writing about a physical relationship between those two. I was very interested in the taboo subject matter of incest, although in my real life the very thought of it is kinda gross. I think the forbidden-ness of the relationship really interested me and I wanted to challenge myself to figure out in what situations and in what cases would it work out? How would the pair feel? I don't think I was anywhere near prepared to do that.
If you all would like, I can pick up once Violet is 18? My writing style has changed since so there may be some noticeable differences there as well. What do you all think? Where do you imagine our HenryxViolet pair going?
Thank you all so much for sticking with me all these years and not hating on the fact that I didn't update for over half a decade lolololol I'll try my best to wrap up all my stories here!
