A lot'a people keep popping into my DMs about this, so I'll just put it here for now: Ballad ain't dead, I'm just busy locking in for my Senior graduation. Thank y'all for the support, and thank y'all for the love. I appreciate each and every one'a y'all, especially those who've been reaching out to check in on me and ask how things are. Y'all mean a lot to me. Thank you. I will try to give Ballad some more attention once the semester dies down a bit. 
          	
          	Much love to each one'a you beautiful bastards, and stay safe. Thank you.

@ Harcaress  Can't wait for it. I wanted to cry so many times while reading it, it is so goddamn amazing. So many feelings and emotions it makes me feel...incredible.

@Harcaress Take it easy and focus on your acedemic work, mate! Personally, I am just happy to hear it's not dead, waiting is not a problem.

Man...your an awesome writer, only on chapter 7 of the Mal0 story but even I know by now, your an awesome writer...do you plan on making any more stories of anything?,more Mal0 stories?, Any other SCP stories?, Fanfics?, Ect?...if so I think anyone who's read your first one will agree on: whatever you make will be awesome, great work

@mozz1316 Much love, thank you. I do light editorial work and write some off-site short stories for literary journals and magazines, but I like to keep Wattpad and that other stuff separate. As much as this story has grown on me, it's mainly still just a guilty pleasure; I don't want people associating my name and reputation outside of just "Harcaress." I mean, my specialization is in post-modernistic dark fantasy, y'know? And this is a cheesy love story. Big step away from my norm. 
            
            As for the other questions, most likely not. I have no interest in making other fanfiction-styled stories or publishing anything other than this on Wattpad. My respect to those that do, but I don't necessarily enjoy writing about characters/concepts that aren't of my own making. My focuses are, again, off-site; Wattpad is not a main concern of mine. 
            
            Again, though, thank you for the love. Much love to you, and it's very much appreciated. People like you are what make my day; I love waking up on a random morning and getting 20+ notifications of someone voting every chapter. It's inspiring, and it motivates me to keep at it. Shoot me a DM if ya ever need anything, and stay safe. Much love to ya, man. Much love.

Read through the Ballad, and I have to say: your writing is really competent. I am guessing this is far from your first foray. What inspired you to do this one in particular? Whatever it was, must have been some inspiration, since this feels quite fleshed out.

@Harcaress how does one DM, exactly? I have Discord, but I do not use any other social media (besides email, haha).
            
            I am happy that this buddy of yours decided to put you in a spiteful mood, tbh. I have been voraciously consuming Mal0 fics over the last week, and none come even close to what you have here (with the non-smut kind, but I was not looking for that anyway).
            
            Good that you have gotten attached to this, I don't want another Agro incident, if you know the comic I am referencing. If you do not... Let's just say that I have gotten into an enveloping story before, just to come to the end at the cusp of the creator's disappearance.

@zhidkovv Spite, mainly. My buddy Naomi is a fan of SCP. She read a bunch of Mal0 fics and complained; told me to read them too. I complained, she complained, then we argued. She told me I couldn't do better, and now here we are. 
            
            Glad you like the story, though. Regardless of original reasons, the story and people who support it have grown on me. Much love to you, man. DM me if  anything.

UNPUBLISHED 29. Letting y'all know 'cus I've realized there's a lot more I can do with it instead'a just ending it there. Expect it back up with more content sometime this week. I won't be changing the parts that y'all've already read, but I ain't satisfied with how it ended. Expect more soon.
