✧ Kiri's Letters ✧ || Rants, announcements, letters from me to you

✧ With Love, Kiri ✧

Hm. I'm keeping my first statement short and simple:

I will no longer be writing on Wattpad. Meaning that I will still be active occasionally, but I will not be publishing any new oneshots or chapters. With Love is now discontinued.

Now onto the slightly emotional stuff.

I am so, so sorry if this disappoints any of you. I'm not sure if people actually enjoy my works, but if you're one of them and *genuinely* wanted to read the rest, I'm really sorry about that. I'm sorry that this journey was so short lived. I'm sorry to leave at such a short notice.

Writing has always been a part of my life, and so when I started writing about Haikyuu, it felt immensely refreshing. I should've known, however, that I was always just meant to write original stories, and that this bit of my life was only for experimentation and to take a break. My break from my original works is now over, and unfortunately that means I will be leaving.

I think it was the rush of excitement I got from seeing people vote and comment on my books that pushed me to write more. It was the temporary passion that drove me to create. But when it all dulled down, I was forced to see the fact that it wasn't something I wanted to do for a long time.

And guys? Thank you for everything. I got to 100 followers, which was something I only ever dreamt of when I first started off. Thank you for every vote, comment, and read you've given me. Thank you for ever interacting with this 14 year old who sits in a small city in Canada. I will remember it all.

Writing fanfiction has taught me so much. I think I've finally grown the skills necessary to write a manuscript I'm proud of. It taught me about writing good descriptions, sticking to characters traits that are already assigned to them, writing from different points of view, and most importantly:

Flooding emotion into every word I write.

I'm glad I took this journey, but I'm sad to see it end so soon, but I know it'll be best for me in the long run.

I'd like to especially thank all of my friends on here. I'm sure you know who you are. The people who hype up my books, reply to my silly messages on my message board, who write amazing content of their own. It would be very long if I tried to list every single one of you, but I'm sure each of you will know that I'm talking to you specifically. Thank you all.

And although I won't be replying to anything, just know that I will be reading them all and keeping those words close to my heart.

I'd like to bring back a quote that I very much adore:

❝ Was this lie able to change something? Was this lie able to change someone? Was this lie... able to change the world? If it was able to change even the smallest thing...

Then the story isn't over. ❞

Because fiction is all a lie. I've been writing beautifully painful lies onto a screen to let others see. So tell me, did you like this?

Will you ever forget these bittersweet lies?

Now then, let's continue the story. Go find an underrated author and show them your love and support, like how you guys showed me.

And maybe one day I'll meet you guys. Perhaps in person as we walk past one another unknowingly, or perhaps in the words of a published book handcrafted by me that sits atop the shelves of a bookstore.

I hope that maybe one day, you'll pick up that novel and give it the same love you have given to my works now.

With love,
Kiri ✧
