hey guys,
so last year i wrote the fanfiction, 'mending her broken heart'. it was about a depressed harper who did youtube for a living as a way to move on from her dark past. then she met dan middleton aka dantdm blah blah.. And and the rest is history (if you've read the fic you'll know)
it's all bittersweet shit and there's a lot of drama to sum it all up. i'll be honest here; it was one of my worst works ever. i absolutely hate how i wrote the starting chapters and i also hate how much i dragged the story to thirty six chapters, which honestly in my opinion wasn't needed.
but i got a tremendous amount of support for the fic, ngl. after hitting 1k reads, i got 2k in just two months which was really overwhelming for me. so by the time i finished the fic, it was at 2.9k reads. but instead of waiting for it to hit 3k, i unpublished the fic. here's why; i realised, if people wanted to see me as a good writer, i would have to unpublish the fic and edit it. i managed to edit the first four chapters, but after that, i just gave up.
i realised the only reason i gave up, was because i wasn't motivated. i was rewriting a fic about a person who didn't motivate or entertain me in anyway. i realised i wasn't into dan anymore.
so in conclusion, i'm unpublishing the fic permanently. i realise i'm letting down all the people who supported my fic, but at times i feel like i'm being pressured into editing the fic and satisfying my audience. i don't want that. i'm my own person and i can make my own decisions.
i hope you guys will still continue to support me when i write other fiction about different fandoms. but, just not the tdm fandom.
Thanks,
