HIATUS ANNOUNCEMENT!
Omg, Mystic is taking another hiatus. What’s new? This time, I think I’ll take longer to actually come back. I’ve been sitting on this feeling for a while, and I thought about it long and hard. I’ve been in denial about it at first because I felt like I was abandoning the platform I’d built when I started writing on this app at 16, and leaving the space I loved since I was 11, but I felt like a real break was needed.
I endured so much disrespect and rudeness on this app, from rude readers (update demands from ghost readers, got mad for the story not going as they please, etc), plagiarizers, being taken advantage of for being kind & helpful, graphic stealers, weird people who get mad when I don’t accept story requests, and ex-mutuals who I thought were nice people (discord bullies, HP fanfic witch hunt, large accounts who think they’re god, those who judged the ships I like) at first I was fine with it, got used to it. Even decided to speak up about the toxicity happening on this app because no one should ever endure these treatments. Then my mutuals, whom I adore, started getting the same treatment as I did, and I thought, wow, this was not the community I happily joined back when I was 11.
So I’ll be taking a step back from all of this. I’m prioritizing my mental health. My personal life is also shifting; I’ll be starting my senior year of Uni in August, and I fully intend to focus on just that without stress, since senior year will be stressful as it is. Once graduation rolls in (hopefully in July of 2027), I’ll be even busier.
