Woah. I'm alive. Holy crap. 
          	
          	For those of you that stuck around, thank you so much. It's been a longggggggggggg year and between school and work and ECs, writing was honestly the least of my priorities. I guess I was in a sentimental mood, then, when I came back to read some of my old stuff. THE CRINGE. I CANNOT. 
          	
          	But in all seriousness, writing is an insane learning curve and I doubt I'll ever be able to regard myself as an objectively "good" one--the first week, my style seems alright; the next, my style evolves and I cringe in hindsight.  Ah, the joy. But now that I'm older and Weak Hero is close to completion, there are a ton of avenues I'd like to explore (with clarity and maturity, I hope). Hence my decision to rewrite the majority of Black Rose within these coming weeks -- although I doubt I'll be able to do NaNoWriMo, I can do Three-or-Six-Month-WriMo. 
          	
          	Thank you again for your time. It's good to be back.

@Lorene707 I know right? Writing has a huge learning curve, but so do a lot of other things like art and singing. All creative arts have learning curves, heck, even physical labor outside of creative arts has curves. 
          	  I've been writing since 2015 and lost track for a long time, because i was os invested in writing and watching my own stories unfold that I hardly paid attention to the amount of improvement over the years. I've studied as much as I could and I still feel like there's so much more to learn. I love it and I sure hope you can enjoy the mysteries and adventures of your works too. :D
          	  Watching stories unfold in your imagination, having stories take control of their own lives without you so much as expecting it, and having them surprise you. 
          	  It's an addictive feeling, especially the rush of unexpected emotions that come with it. 
          	  I have a few cringy stories too that I look back at and go 'ew!' XDDD
          	  But strangely people still read it and idk why X'D!
          	  But anyway, keep up your amazing work and keep your mind open, let your stories flow with life on their own! :D

Welp--this recent arc with Lily, Julia, and Lala has gotten me far more invested than I should be. Wolf seems to be taking on a more prominent role as well. I'm still dying to know what went down between him and Julia way back at the start of season 3. Either way, I present to you:

           I can't tell if this is a good ship with potential or extremely likely to crash and burn. Realistically speaking, it's both. I'll be doing some experiments with style and perspective, so please let me know your thoughts when I switch things around.

Hi, I finally caught up to your story and it is just amazing!
           But I did want to give you a heads up that I wasn't able to vote on any of the earlier chapters. From the first one all the way to the Julia Chae chapter. Every time I tried it wouldn't keep. Not sure if it was an issue on my end or not, but figured I'll let you know just in case it's some kind of weird setting. And because you might not be getting votes that you should be getting.

Lorene707

@Riful26 Thank you for letting me know! I think this is happening because you already voted on those chapters earlier, so please don't worry about it. I appreciate your support.

Hey, everyone. It's been a while. 
          I've been pretty busy with life for the past few months, which has led to Black Rose becoming all but dead. For that, I apologize. I'm hoping to set up a tentative upload schedule of a chapter every one or two weeks, if only to remind myself to write. I'll also be going back through the chapters and doing some editing, since rereading brings out the demon in me. I have a couple of Lookism oneshots in mind as well, so if you're interested in that, do check it out. 
          Until next time, friend!

@StrongBeautiful16 AAA I'm so sorry, I didn't see this until now. Apparently my previous message was premature because I did not, in fact, have more time. I'm not sure if I ever will, but I've definitely gotten better at managing the time I have. I missed you too. Will definitely catch up on your books :)
