Toast

So the bots have found my fic… I keep getting emails about comments on Motivation and then bam. An AI slop comment from an obviously fake account that’s no doubt trying to scam me out of my money.
          
          First off, I’m in college. I’m fucking BROKE  
          
          Second of all, if you’re gonna try and scam me, at least write the comment yourself. I wanna see the EFFORT, guys, c’mon. Get that AI slop outta here. Bet any “art” they’d sell me would be generated and devoid of a soul. 
          
          I’m keeping the comments up on the fic though because any engagement is good engagement 

Sorry about the impromptu summer hiatus from my Motivation updates y’all, been busy between work, my plethora of other obligations, and attempting to have a social life  
          
          Chapter Twelve will finally drop when I get home from work today and I’ll try to at least update every… couple of weeks? Don’t think I’ll be able to get it back to every week quite yet, but we’ll see how that goes once I’m back in college and have more time. In theory.  But also we’ll be getting into more fun plot stuff since I finally got through the hospital chapter 

Me when I need to update the fics I have published but keep getting dragged into other fandoms (curse you The 100, I started watching you too late to write during the peak of the fics)

Writing chapter 11 of Motivation aka the first Traumatic Moment™️ and oh boy!! I haven’t even gotten to Kazue actually doing any fighting and we’re already at 2.7k words  
          
          I did promise, though, that the entirety of the USJ would be in one chapter, and I fully intend to keep that promise. 
          
          You can expect a chapter that’s at LEAST 7k words lmfao

I love checking the word count of a chapter when I'm not even done writing it yet and boom. Almost to 5k. This is insane.

Are my chapter titles for Motivation fucked or no because I made them in a fancy font on my computer but for some reason they show up on mobile for me as flag emojis 

Alright folks, I figure I should share my update schedule now that I’m back  
          
          I will be solely working on the Motivation rewrite in terms of publishing, aiming for the OG schedule of once a week. Y’know, back when this fic was at its peak and somehow got to the number one spot in… was it the #bnha or the #mha tag? No idea. One of the two, maybe both. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
          
          At the time of writing this announcement, the new Chapter One has since been published (last Thursday) and Chapter Two is set to drop this Thursday at 8 am EST.
          
          I just finished Chapter Three a couple minutes ago, so once I look over that for any errors, it’ll be set to drop the following Thursday.
          
          Sounds good? Crazy.

Whoops I forgot Wattpad existed again-
          
          I'm honestly terrified to see when the last time I updated my fics was because DAMN, was that a long time ago
          
          Theoretically, I could start updating again, but that would require me to actually stick to a fic for once instead of coming up with a new one every few weeks (days, more like).
          
          Hmmm.
          
          Or, and hear me out now: I publish a shit ton of fics with only one chapter done and the rest finished in my head. That sounds like a great idea and definitely not terrible-
          
          Uh.
          
          Anyway. My apologies for not updating fics like Motivation in a while, my mental health was kinda shot and school was hell and publishing what I've written was the last thing on my mind.
          
          Also, I cringe so hard looking at my old writing even if y'all might like it. It's hard to get into some of those characters' heads now, and my writing style's changed a bit from the last time y'all saw me. 
          
          So... odds are, if I do update, it'll be after rereading the fuckfest that was my early writing to refresh my memory and trying to make it not suck. But who knows, we'll see if I manage to control the urge to make a new fic every five seconds.

Ao3 is down 
          *ugly crying*
          
          Now I’ll actually have to work on my drafts this is bullying

I… have nothing to say for myself. I’ve been gone for quite some time without warning.      
          
          If I’m being honest, it’s mostly because I’ve moved over to Ao3. Not for writing, but for reading.
          
          I am still writing, don’t get me wrong, but it’s kinda hard to stick with one fic when you have over 50 WIPs in your drafts and more coming every time you try to write.
          
          I may or may not have a problem-
          
          Regardless of that fact, I’ve more or less fallen out of the My Hero Academia fandom. Whether or not I return, only time will tell, but I haven’t given up on Motivation just yet. 
          
          As of right now, I’m trying to focus on a single fic. It’s in the MCU, and it’s been in my drafts for quite some time now, but I’ve finally gotten around to it.
          
          Looking back on things, I can tell that my writing style has definitely changed. Changed to the point where I’m not sure I can effectively write Kazue at the moment, but I’ll have to reread everything I’ve written before giving it another go. I will admit, there are quite a few small plot holes that no one has pointed out, but I’ve noticed.
          
          Honestly, I think the main issue here is that I hold myself to extremely high standards, and that includes my own writing. I do have a beta reader now, but I didn’t when I first started writing.
          
          Motivation was the first fic I ever seriously wrote with the intention of posting, and I don’t want to lose it.
          
          I’ll keep you guys posted, but I just figured I should let those of you who have read it know that I’ll get back to it, no matter how long it takes.
          
          My sincerest apologies, LightsaberEwok.
