If anyone's reading this...
I'd like to tell y'all how thankful I am of your support. I started the jily fanfic when I was 12 (I'm 19 now), I think, and have worked on it throughout my secondary school life. Writing about life at an imaginary school has been a way for me to channel my emotions (mostly devastation that Hogwarts is, in fact, fictional). Time and again, I log into this account, and read all the lovely comments you give me (even the threatening ones following the cliffhanger ending).
Quarantine has been boring, so I'm here, writing a lot of words, to explain myself. I never meant to end the story like that. In fact, there's a new chapter called 'Declarations' that has been sitting as a draft for... years, in which Jily basically makes up. What happened, you ask? Life did. One day I just didn't have that much time to write, and stopped publishing.
I miss those days, though. Imagining Jily's life at school on the bus, opening my phone to lovely pieces of artwork people created for my story...
Enough of nostalgia. To be really honest, I don't know why I'm writing this piece either. Let me know if you want me to continue the story or publish the draft. Most importantly I might be working on some new projects (not fanfics), so if any of you wanna be writing buddies or beta readers pls, let's be friends! lol
