Hi everyone!  Just wanted to let you all know that I will most likely be closing down my WattPad account in the near future and saving all my works in my vaults.  I'm going to be focusing on my novels that I'm publishing.  Many of these FanFics I will be converting (removing the Naruto elements) into books to sell, creating new anime worlds to set them in but the core of the stories will be the same - just new names & descriptions lol.  Some of them, though, I will leave as is and post them to my personal webpage as "Free" Magnet reads.  I can't get sued for copyright infringement if I'm not selling them - ha!  I have really loved seeing all of your comments and so forth, but I really want to try to get to the place where I might one day be able to write full-time, not just as a side hustle to my primary job.  Not sure if it will let me put my web page on here or not, but I'll definitely try.  It's:  www.sarahhatake.com.  All of my novels & future novels will be on Kindle Unlimited.  Two of my books I have on there originally started on here and I converted them, so some of y'all got to read them for free ;)  I'll do a follow up just before I close this account fully down.  Hugs to you all, you've been amazing and if you enjoyed my stories, think about hitting my personal page.  Love to you all!

@AuthorSarahHatake I'm so excited for you! I will definitely have your website  on bookmark. Your stories were some of the first ones I read when starting on the anime/fan fiction and they resonated. I continue to revisit them often and they settle a need for a good Kakashi story. I look forward to what you write next and wish you the best of luck and fulfillment!

Finally finished up another semester and back in the saddle of writing.  Working full-time, doing school, and trying to have time with my boyfriend is a total juggling act that unfortunately makes it where I just don't have time to write.  BUT.... I have some alarming news.  So WattPad apparently thinks that my writing is pornographic and already removed one of my stories - to which I already reposted.  I can only assume a "Karen" reported it and it's hilarious because it was one of the tamest stories I've written on here.  HOWEVER, that being said.  I might have to look for a new platform due to this censorship, which really BITES because I've gotten such a great following on here.  They didn't come out and say why exactly they had removed it, just gave me the content guidelines and after reading down through it the only thing that was even close in that story was the tag line of "Sexual Content on Wattpad.  Pornographic content.  Wattpad considers content to be pornographic when it exists solely for the purpose of sexual stimulation."  I find it more irritating that they didn't specify WHAT exactly got the panties in a twist.  However, as every one of my stories has gratuitous sex, it's only a matter of time before they're all removed.  I'll keep you updated if I find a new platform to post them to but... they might just be disappearing.  I've grown more and more frustrated with the platform as they won't even consider FanFic in any of their contests and have progressively taken away the freedom of writing in your own voice.  I can understand criminalistic stuff such as Child exploitation, etc. but Romance?  Seriously?  Any ways, just giving y'all a heads up.  Peace & Love.

@AuthorSarahHatake I write everything in word and upload to Google drive then upload to the three platforms. A lot of work but swear I’d be sad if I ever lost the work. Hopefully, whoever reported it, doesn’t again.

@ladymoo20 Thank you so much for the support.  Yes, I haven't really found another platform that I like either.  This one is so smooth and I can access it from anywhere.  Some of my best writing has been on downtime at work - lol.  For now, I'm just going to chill and see if they delete anything else.  I do appreciate you all so much, I'd hate to have to start over elsewhere.  I keep everything backed up on my Dabble account so if they do delete unless it's a really new chapter, I have it saved permanently elsewhere.

@Wife_of_the_Sixth  Yeah that was the weird part, that's exactly how I label all my stories because there will never be one that isn't Mature LOL  Yeah, someone had to have complained but boy, of all the ones to complain about it was my tamest LOL  I'm going to hold off closing down because I do love y'all so much.  I keep everything backed up on my Dabble Account so if they do delete anything it isn't really gone, gone.

I've finally got my own website set up and will be doing a Newsletter. I've been in classes again so I've been unable to get much done on here. In a little more than 3 weeks I'll be free until next Spring! This is my website: https://www.sarahhatake.com/

@AuthorSarahHatake Ohhhhh, I'm so jealous lol. My bestie got me an autographed Kakashi Funko by him for Christmas last year. I was going to meet him the end of last year but he canceled last minute at the Con I was going to meet him at in San Antonio.

That’s so awesome!  I met Dave (Kakashi’s voice actor) this summer at SummerCon and thought of you!

Okay, I'm going to be starting editing on my earlier works - namely the Shifting Series.  I might just take them down until I finished updating them as some names will be changing (nothing major just like last names etc) and expanding the stories.  They were very short as they were some of my first attempts to start back to writing after a very long time.  I want them to be top quality for your entertainment and I've grown so much as an author since then.  Just wanted to give y'all a heads up!

So I finally finished up college until the fall, so hopefully, I can get back into writing more often. I've also been working on a novel for print called Legends of Atlantis. For those that don't know, I am also taking some of these stories - converting them for obvious reasons to an innocuous Anime world and publishing them. Weeb Sisters was published in both Paperback and Hardback on Amazon. I'm considering offering signed copies on Etsy and TikTok one day. It's all about money, money, and money, and I'm constantly broke lol. I'm currently converting, adding to and tweaking Dancing in the Dark for publication. I had hoped Wattpad would kick off with their contest each year, but its become quite apparent they're only selecting non-fanfics. I'd love to be a full-time writer and constantly looking for that big break! Thank you to everyone who has loved and supported my writing on here. Shattered is up to almost 34k views, that's incredible!! Blessings Y'all

Okay, I admit I fell into a slump... A major slump.  I have a good reason, I really do. I fell in love. LOL.  Yes, with someone in our world. ha.  When I started writing all these stories, I was in the midst of a very bad relationship that ended in divorce.  These stories were my escape from the terrible reality around me.  I met our worlds version of Kakashi last October and since then, I've been pretty much focused on this amazing man that I've spent almost every spare second with.  I'm making a promise that I will once more make a genuine effort to work on my works in progress steadily.  In the future, I won't release any books or chapters until the story is completed. I've pulled off two other works in progress with this in mind and will post them once they're completed.  That way no one starts reading something and then has to wait for the next chapter. :)  Thank you for all your support and following.  I'm very thankful for you all.
