Oh my god I did it.
          	
          	It took literally fifteen minutes of me staring at the 'unpublish' button. Like, this was seven years of my life, all the comments and encouragements and ugggh I'm bawlinggg. Book 1 was soo close to 30K too. 
          	
          	But, I feel better now. The weight of finishing the series is off.

I've got good news and bad news.
          
          Good News: I'm back! Yay! 
          More Good News: I have new chapters for The Belle of The Bonfire and I'm working on several more projects: "Never Disappointed/Fixing Far From Home", "Wake Up/Chrissy X Eddie", "Amicafera- The Hummingbird ORIGINAL WORK", and "So You Wanna Be A Writer/ A Guide To Writing Novels and Fanfiction."
          
          Bad News: I am considering removing the Amicafera Series and the Hummingbird fanfiction from this site. This is because I am writing my own, ORIGINAL BOOK in which the two ideas are combined in a romantic Spy-Fi trilogy about amicaferas in the real world, trained to be spies from a very young age. If I ever want to publish this series, I can't have my fanfictions cropping up when someone searches up the word "Amicafera".
          
          A little more bad news.....
          
          I won't be continuing the Amicafera-- Harry Potter's Twin series.
          
          It has been seven years since I started Chrysanthemum's Journey, and I have fallen out of love with the project. Did you know that Amicafera-- Katiwala Call is almost twice as long as its source material, the Prisoner of Azkaban? For each word J.K. Rowling wrote, I write three. That's a lot of words, and beyond that, there are still FOUR MORE books two write, in which the plot is set to differ wildly from the original. I'm basically writing entirely new books without getting any credit, because it is fanfiction. I no longer enjoy dreaming about what this work could be, and fanfiction is all about enjoying yourself.
          
          If you would like EXCLUSIVE ACCESS to every Google Document I've EVER HAD on the Amicafera Series, DM me your email and I will give you viewing access, so you can continue to enjoy what has already been written and find out everything that could have been. 
          
          Also, someone stole several chapters of Amicafera- The Becoming and posted it on Fanfiction.net, so you may find more chapters there lol.
          
          Thank you for understanding.

@Bookedpanda thank you so much! I definitely intend to continue writing into adulthood (wow. I started at twelve and now I'm off to collegeXD) but they will be much shorter projects, not entire series. It will hopefully be much more manageable and easy to write/finish<3

@MerrilyBlythestar I can’t honestly say I’m not disappointed in the end of the Amicafera series, but I understand you’re reasoning. Thank you so much for posting the reasons why and not just deleting it. 
            
            I wish you all the luck with your writing, and look forward to reading more of your books

Hii! I hope you are safe! When will you update Americafera- Katiwala call? Its so exciting! There ate many plot twist too! I really think that they should live with their godfather since they do not have a good childhood experience. I believe that it is time for them to have a parental figure. It really makes my heart swell when you wrote that chapter.

I have returned.

@MerrilyBlythestar Are you planning on continuing Katiwala Call soon? It is one of my favorite books and I don't want the series to end yet!

Hello @MerrilyBlythestar ! I was wondering if i could steal a few things from your stories? i wanted to make a story about harry’s twin sister who was raised by Hagrid, ( she and Harry both knew about eachother) and she could talk to animals. I would like to steal that term. I was also loving the ‘Chrissie’s kids’ thing. i might steal that to but change the kids ofc. Please let me know if this is okay! Baiiii

I am going to change the term, but give all the credit and information on how to get there anyway. I absolutely loved your stories so i’m hoping you’ll continue them. Thanks!

Hello, Lyra_girl17. First of all, thank you for asking first! Second of all, I’m not really comfortable with you using my original ideas in your own works. However, as I don’t own Harry Potter, there’s not much I can do or say to stop you from copying me. Please keep in mind that I put a lot of time and effort into creating a unique fanfiction- and I absolutely don’t want you to use the term Amicafera in your story. But as long as you explicitly say that you were inspired by story and provide information on where to read Amicafera, then I’m fine with you writing your own. Thanks again for asking!
