It's been, what, 7 months since I made the initial announcement regarding an upcoming Akutagawa x Reader fic, and I am proud to announce that so far I've written:
The prologue (clown emoji)
I'm having a severe case of writer's block which I blame 100% on Akutagawa being such a cutie patootie munchkin man.
Alright, for real now... Life has had its ups and downs lately. I've practically become a granny with how many meds I'm taking for a whole load of health issues (I'm not dying yet) and I'm second-guessing my writing so badly...
I've done some writing outside Wattpad — which, when I look back, I ask myself what writing god graced me — but I've had certain doubts regarding my style, which has been described as being quite "heavy" and "bleak". So what I'm an angsty teen? It's not a phase, guys! (For legal reasons that is a joke).
Likewise, I unfortunately happen to live in the UK and the Online Safety Act has me worried that I might not be able to put out some, if not all, chapters of "Still Life" due to their mature nature and content. The issue could probably be fixed with ID verification, but I'm not giving third party authenticators my identity~ (On the bright side, this issue shouldn't persist too long for me given how there are abstract plans made to leave the country within the next couple of years).
Aaaannd I'm also procrastinating a lot... Go ahead and bully me into writing more :<
But yes, just wanted to let y'all know I'm still alive in the big 2025. I should definitely rework my notes for the new fic and/or just get on with it and see how it goes...
P.s.: The grammar in this whole announcement makes me feel old, so for the newer generation who are using Wattpad, umm... This app is full of rizz chat, no cap!
I'll see myself out now :]

@AnAlienFromJupiter No clue why people would complain about your writing, it's heavenly, but I understand your willingness to make it more accessible. Also, do not worry about procrastination, good things take time and we are patient :) We also have lives to survive, so I hope you take care of your health first and foremost. That said, thank you for your thoughtful announcement, take care, and you are absolute GOAT! (God, did I use that right...?)
