I deleted everything but my Septiplier. 
          	
          	Why?
          	
          	Because this site fucking sucks. I am SO sick and tired of seeing jackasses steal someone else's work from another site and post it here. If my one story wasn't tied to a friend's, I would delete both of these and my account as well. What a load of shit.

So, it's been a while since I updated here, so I figured I probably should since I haven't since the end of 2018. XD Have fun with all the updates. Oh, and I've gotten into a new fandom. My Hero Academia. Fun days.

@ArtyG500 I understand, I keep getting distracted by most things.

@ArtyG500 Doing alright. Hanging out on Discord, trying to get some writing done. How about you?

Why do I bother posting my stories here anymore? I have two that I published in June and they both only have one view. These same stories on Ao3 have hundreds of views. (Getting close to 1K each) It's very discouraging.

@DiamondWinters No problem! I can relate to the whole 'lives in the shadows' style. That is pretty much how I started off back in the old profile up to now. I still have moments where I will not make a post about anything for weeks or months and I end up looking like a ghost account. That is why I'm doing my best to do updates as much as I can without suffering burn out or overusing it. Plus my real life shadow issues are so real because I can leave a room and come back or not without anyone realizing until they ask for my name. I must be a mouse that trained in the arts of an assassin and ninjitsu.
            
            Even if communication isn't great, all it takes is one small link, like a blog post of your thoughts, to make a change. I know that you use mostly Tumblr and Twitter so just saying 'Hey, I wrote this story and maybe you might like it' vibe will help spread the word.

@DigiScript Thank you.   I'll have to look into the tags, see if I can find better ones.  I'm not very good with the whole communication thing. I'm a wallflower/lives in the shadows sort of person. 
            
            It does help help a lot. I really appreciate it!!

@DiamondWinters I always have this issue constantly. To me, it just takes time until you get a truckload of notifications. I learned that the hard way back on the old profile. 
            
            All it takes to help boost the attention is by incorporating the right tags and certain ones that make it unique. Share them on other social media, for instance, you have them both on two different writing platforms...put the link for both versions to see which has the faster attraction. Don't forget that the conversation board will help keep some form of consistency and interaction with readers, friends, and followers. I'm doing my best to do that while not spamming their inboxes.
            
            I hope that helps Diamond! <3

I'm going through my older stories and using the recently purchased Grammarly to find and fix mistakes. I hope to make my stories more enjoyable this way. Thank you for your patience as I revise my stories.

@BeyondTheStob Miss you too, Darlin'. <3

Works in Progress verses Finished stories. 
          
          I'd like your opinion on what you look for. Typically for me, I don't read W.I.P.s. I've found far too many that were started and then abandoned, leaving me wanting. Which is very disappointing when you come across a great story, by a great writer, and they've lost interest in finishing their book.  This is why when I write, I prefer to wait until I'm done writing the entire story, proof-read it a few dozen times, and edited it within an inch of it's life, before I submit it. 
          
          However this seems to have a downside. Because I'm not constantly updating, it doesn't drive readers to my stories. 
          
          So my question is? Would you, my readers, prefer that I submit what I have currently going on, even though it's not finished yet? Or should I wait until it's publish worthy, and upload the entire book then? (Like going to a book store and buying the book as a whole, instead of chapter at a time) 
          
          I'd really like to know. I'm currently 18 chapters into an Omegaverse story, and I'm just not sure when I'll be done, but I will complete it!
          
          Thanks.

My friend Otto_Knows and I started an Orphanage for abandoned stories, and covers. If you happen to have a concept, but you know you'll never write it out, but you don't want to see it die, then please stop by Writer's Orphanage and drop it off. We'll take good care of it. 
          
          Or if you're looking for an idea to write about, then please claim one. 
          
          Hope to see you there!

I wrote a sequel to Ashlee Geary's Actual Boyfriends. So basically I wrote a fanfiction to a fanfiction. LOL!  If you haven't already read the original you can find it here: https://www.wattpad.com/130609429-actual-boyfriends-ch-1-the-furss-night
          
          It is also available on Archive Of Our Own under the name Iloveswedishdjs. I have a link to it on my story if that's easier. 
          
          Please check out Ashlee's stories, she's an amazing, and talented writer, and an all around amazing person!!
