DECIDING THE FATES OF MY WORKS Hey strangers.. You'll see this post on all my stories and my conversations tab to cover all my bases. I've been considering unpublishing Nothing Can Destroy Us and most of my older works. Why? Because I am actually working on a "professionally" publishable version of Running To Heaven (working title, closely tied to NCDU) and another book which has never been on this account, and I fear my "real world" works being traced back to this book and my other works. As you'd know, cancel culture is strong and nothing in your past stays buried. I *am* ashamed of NCDU, most of my older works actually, i'll admit it. It started as a vent book using some of my favorite people and based on other fanfics. But then it got out of control, it got too popular, and now I am terrified it will or HAS reached the people it mentions. I tried to forget about this work, pretend it didn't exist. I stayed off Wattpad for a year and a half to ignore the notifications I once CRAVED and prided myself on responding to. Now, that's not your fault, not at all. I could've rewritten this, cut out parts where I realized I went to far. But I feared I'd take away what peopled loved. And now it's too late. I cant rewrite it. The story for that book, if there ever was one, died when chapter 21 was published. I will NEVER 100% delete it, if it comes down it's simply unpublished. And someone else is more than welcome to ask for the right to take that story (or any of then except for DoN/RtH and Maplefang's History), I will copy and paste every page, all I ask is you scrub my name from its records. So, I leave it up to you. What should I do?

One way or another, most of the books will leave this page as I transition to a clean slate. The lesser known pieces (DoN, The Horseland series, my Random Stories) will be coming down by 12 AM tonight (June 15 2022). The only ones staying up will be Lighting Pack's History and Stories For Other People. If anyone would like to read my more "professional" works (wont be RtH and the never-published-here work, as those are heavily protected until publishing) feel free to DM me and i'll send you the @ for my other account once it's up.
