Salutations,
(teehee)
Its been a very long time since I’ve been properly online. Maybe you’ve wondered where I am, or if I’m alive, or maybe not— really, that doesn’t matter. But what does matter is that I logged in and saw Love Letters back at number 1 for the short horror story genre… and I made that story when I was in 8th grade.
Yeah. Wow.
So, being that it’s 2024 and almost the anniversary of LL (and there are STILL PEOPLE READING IT) I decided it’s time for an update and also some lore???
I made love letters in 2021 when I was in 8th grade, so I guess I was 14 around then? I made it all in my first and second class period of the day and I posted the draft here in Wattpad for fun. Didn’t think it’d get an audience, but I really adored the yandere genre at the time. Little did I know, I’d see this story blow up?? By the end of the year, I went from zero followers and readers to now having placed #1 in the short horror story category. Now, that may not seem soooo impressive compared to other stories on here, but it shocked me. I went on to make the sequel far later.
I’m gonna graduate highschool soon and I’ve never forgotten Love Letters. There’s still an aspiration to get it published, despite how my life has twisted and changed around since LL first dropped, and even with so many passion projects… I always come back to this. So yes, I will have it published someday. Soon? I’m not sure. But someday. AND it will be written FAR better. The LL books are all one draft with no revisions or actual edits, so they’re kinda… interesting.
But, I want to close this off by saying thank you for the support. It meant the world to a young girl and it means a lot now to someone who still loves creating. So thanks you. Sincerely. I may not be active on Wattpad, but this story will be out there on bookshelves someday. And when that day comes, I’ll be back.
