@HQSugasenpai thank you! i don’t always know how to respond to messages like this in a way that feels proportional, but i do want you to know that i read every word and i appreciate it more than i probably ever manage to express properly. it’s genuinely meaningful to know that something i wrote resonated with you that strongly!! to clarify a few things: there are many more gojo chapters written and waiting. what i’m posting right now is prewritten material, so while my presence may seem more consistent, the pacing of updates may still feel uneven. the fic itself is very much unfinished, and there is still a significant amount of story left to tell. the sanemi book is also not complete, though it has been dormant for a long time. you already know a bit about my schedule, so this probably won’t be surprising, but that project demanded an enormous amount of time and emotional energy from me. i invested heavily in it, perhaps to my own detriment, and eventually reached a point of creative exhaustion that i couldn’t realistically push through without sacrificing other responsibilities. stepping away wasn’t something i planned, but it was unavoidable. i do carry a lot of guilt about leaving that story where it is, especially knowing how deeply some people connected with it. at the same time, i’m trying to be more honest with myself about my limits and the pace at which i can create without burning out again. returning to it is something i think about often, but i don’t want to make promises i can’t responsibly keep. thank you for your patience, for your kindness, and for continuing to care about my work even during long stretches of silence! that kind of support is not lost on me. i’m grateful for it, sincerely, and i’m glad you’re here!!
