Hi everyone. It’s been a long time.
I realized my last update here was back in October 2025, and I’ve felt guilty about disappearing without saying anything. I wanted to finally be honest with the people who supported me for so many years.
I started writing OUAT fanfiction on Wattpad in 2018, and this platform shaped me as a writer. Teach Me to Love was my first big story, and even though I have a love‑hate relationship with it now, the fact that so many of you connected with it still means the world to me. It even won an award here, which I never expected.
But over time, my inspiration for the fandom faded. I kept trying to force myself to write, but the muse just wasn’t there anymore. I felt like my themes were getting repetitive, and I wasn’t happy with my own work. I stepped back, took writing workshops, and focused on improving my craft. Somewhere along the way, the spark I had for these stories disappeared, and I don’t know if it will come back.
I’m sorry I wasn’t transparent sooner. You deserved honesty instead of silence. I don’t know if I’ll return to updating my unfinished works here, and I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep.
What I can promise is that my profile and stories will stay up. If you loved them, they’ll always be here for you to revisit.
Thank you to everyone who read, voted, commented, and encouraged me. You helped me grow, you boosted my confidence, and you were a huge part of my writing journey. I’ll always be grateful for that.
This isn’t a goodbye... just a gentle “see you later.”
Thank you for everything.
