*long, exasperated sigh*
So, to all my followers out there patiently, oh so patiently, like they'd probably start pulling out the guns and threats at this point how patient they've been, awaiting updates for my two stories, 'Static' and 'Smokey Leaves', I have rather disappointing news for you all.
As you've come to realize, I haven't updated either one of them in months. Well, if I'm to be completely honest, it's been months since I've had proper inspiration or motivation to honestly and whole-heartedly continue writing for them. I lost the inspiration and plot of 'Static' long ago, like who knows how long ago. 'Smokey Leaves', on the other hand, still has hope of saving, and I'm trying to gear myself up to post at least one more chapter before deciding whether or not I want to throw in the blanket. I published them both in a hurry, no real plan for how well it'd go and definitely not expecting this large of a crowd to read, favorite, and vote for them. I really want to, deep in my heart, to finish these stories for everyone waiting for that happy ending, but I'm not entirely sure if I can. I don't want to write some half-assed ending chapters and call it quits, you've all waited too long and been too supportive for me to do that to you all. So now, all I can ask of everyone reading this post, if you've been waiting for that happy ending, don't expect it to come so quickly. I may, in the end, have to discontinue them, or maybe I'll find heart to rewrite them into something better for everyone to read. All I can say now is thank you for joining me on this adventure; I'm not sure what the future holds, but I pray it turns out well in the end for all of us. I, too, am hoping for that long awaited happy ending. Thank you, my dears, here's hoping. <3
