Hello Everyone,
          
          Just wanted to make a post here to officially say that this account won’t be active, at all. I made it a few years back and have slowly drifted away from it. 
          
          That said, I’ve slowly been become active on my tumblr (mx-shirogane). I’ve been working on rewriting ‘His Eye’ but plan to move it to AO3 since it’s become my preferred site. Any updates on it will posted to my tumblr, so feel free to check it out if you’re curious. 
          
          I had fun during my four years on Wattpad, however the time has come for me to move on to something else. I’ll be leaving my stories up, even though I’m not as proud of them as I once was, just as I know that people do enjoy them. Thank you all for making my experience here enjoyable and helping fuel my love for writing.

Hello Everyone, 
          
          I’d just like to give a quick update in regards to the stories on this account. My oneshot books, for the time being, are being discontinued. 
          
          I’ve come to a weird place with the Persona Fandom where I still enjoy it, I just lack the inspiration for writing. Things like Oneshots feel too generic and follow the same routine. The repetition feels boring and I’ve lost my enjoyment for writing them. I’m currently experimenting with different themes to cover, so their return in the future is possible, they’ll just be different. 
          
          Will I be continuing His Eye and The Noodle Shop? In terms of His Eye, I do want to finish it. It was my first major Persona fic and I want to see it through to the end. I know where I want to go with the story and how I want to get there. 
          
          As for The Noodle Shop, I may reformat it to just spoof a bunch of tropes from yaoi, anime and manga. Honestly, I should have gone in that direction in the first place considering it’s supposed to be a spin-off of his eye, set place in a BL Manga.
          
          Finally, the ask books. The ask books have sat in a limbo for awhile, however I do enjoy writing about the characters messing around with one another. It’ll take me a bit to catch up on all the asks and dares, but I can assure you they’re on the way. 
          
          That’s all I have in terms of updating, thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. Things are definitely crazy right now in the world so it’ll be nice to settle back into writing, even if it’s not the same as my old format.

Hello Everyone.
          
          What should have been my exam week is not that far away, meaning teachers have begun piling on masses of culminating projects. Most of my focus has been dedicated on getting everything done in time and so I apologize for my absence.
          
          Two updates for today concerning oneshots and my Persona 3 Fanfic "An Unexpected Turn of Events:
          
          1. While my oneshot books are the most popular on this account, I am considering ending them. I've been lacking inspiration to come up with new scenarios and writing them has become more chore like than fun. I may create a collection of oneshots later on down the line, but for now, I'd like to focus more on my character fics.
          
          2. On the topic of character fics, I've taken down AUToE because I still wasn't happy with it. The latest version was my third or forth rewrite, so I scrapped the idea and created a new one. I have a lot more faith in this latest concept and I have a rough idea of where it's headed and everything will fit in which is more than reassuring. I'm hoping to type up a few chapters and then release it once I've finished my prep.
          
          Those are all my updates for now, if you have any questions or suggestions, just comment on the announcement. As well, you can talk with me on my discord server, the link is in my bio.

Happy Belated Birthday to Naoto, I’d forgotten to login earlier to have something up for her birthday so shame on me for that. 
          
          I’ve spent the past two days getting educated on Revelations Persona, and both Persona 2 games. I also learned that Shinjiro and Akihiko are foster brothers which means I’ll be tweaking my P3 book... again. I think I might just scrap the original premise for the book and start from scratch. 
          
          In any case, I’ve enjoyed getting more familiarized with the previous games and eventually I hope to play them all.

Hello Everyone,
          
          It's about 4:38 AM and I've managed to put out 3 Persona 4 one-shots as well as 2 rewritten chapters for an unexpected turn of events. I've gotten into a phase of doubting my writing, however, if I don't take risks, nothing will get done. 
          
          That's really all I have to say this time around, my words have been drained for the sake of fanfics so you'll have to pardon me for being a bit brain dead.

Hello Everyone,
          
          I hope everyone is safe and well during these times.
          
          I’m writing this at about 3:20 in the morning because I’ve been contemplating my oneshot books. 
          
          As practically all of you know, I haven’t updated my oneshots in a long time... possibly 4 months. I bring this up because I’m considering changing a few things with the requesting on the books. 
          
          I have a massive load of requests—which I keep saying I’ll get done and yet I’ve made no progress. Part of this is due to there being a large amount of smut requests, which isn’t too irregular. That said, I’m questioning whether I’ll keep writing smuts for the following 3 reasons:
          
          1. I feel as though it’s uninspired when I write it and it is generic and poorly written on my part. 
          2. My knowledge is quite frankly, very limited when it comes to hetero and lesbian couples. While it’s sad to admit, I am far more familiar with Yaoi. 
          3. Even with my Yaoi knowledge, I’m not really a sexual person, identifying on the asexual scale. 
          
          However, part of me does want to keep writing it as it could give me a chance to explore more “exoctic” content, if you will. 
          
          With that said, I’m open to hearing the ideas of others on what I should do. My decision isn’t final, as I’ve been thinking about this for awhile. So, do expect a bit more of a delay on the oneshots, just as I try to figure out what I’m going to do.

My third update this morning so we'll skip my usual formal addressing and get straight to the point.
          
          I truly believe restarting AUToE is going to prove more fruitful than attempting to fix up the pre-existing chapters. It's been near 2 hours that I've spent rewriting my 'intro chapter' to the book that contains details important to the story and it's much more precise and contains terms used in the book. As well, I went into more detail with my original 12 points and changed some of the text as my original thoughts on those points have changed with time and research.
          
          I was considering starting the first chapter however it's near 3 in the morning which means I should be attempting to get some rest. I can, however, say that I feel much more confident in the book already and have faith in my ability to begin it in a way that I find much more up to my standards.
          
          This should be my final update for the ungodly hours of the morning. I hope you all have a fantastic morning, evening or night!

Hello Everyone, 
          
          So, my newsfeed says it's been about 44 minutes since my last announcement and honestly, I take back what I said about rewriting AUToE. 
          
          I'll keep the same premise, I just think it would be easier to start over so I can add more character emotions and motivations, details and facts. I'll keep the original book up, for now, however, keep in mind it will be coming down once I have the chapters updated to a state I'm satisfied with.
          
          One big change for sure will be the pacing of the first few chapters as well as the emotions. I find Akihiko to be a bit dull as I have him written currently and after doing some math on my ratios mentioned in the book, I'll definitely need to up Shinjiro's drive for getting Akihiko to stop drinking the powder. 
          
          That should be all for now as I plan to spend the next two hours writing before trying to get some sleep. The one benefit of having my school closed means I'm able to be awake at the hours I feel most productive.

Hello Everyone,
          
          It is currently 12 AM and I'm having an urge to touch up the chapters of An Unexpected Turn of Events... Again. I still feel as though I'm not portraying the topic properly and while I wouldn't rewrite the story entirely, I might make a few changes here and there just to round things off better and to once again ensure my information is correct.
          
          This story, as well as the Noodle Shop, relies upon research as the topics are ones I'm not as familiar with or are far beyond what's considered a "normal social convention" and aren't as common to the mass public.
          
          That said, I may as well get lost in hours of research and making notes before passing out with my laptop on my lap due to losing track of time. So who knows, there may be new releases or there might not. It just depends on my general consensus after further topic research.
