Hi there author
          I’m new to your books and everything and i saw you had a Harald Finehair ff named “saga” and i was wondering if you are planning to continue it cause it looks really interesting and i have barely found any finished Harald ff here on wattpad.
          So i was just wondering

I'm excited to announce Wilting is featured on the official @Fanfic page for the Web & TV Series FF Reading List! 
          
          (Updated cover with a new Wattpad sticker incoming...)

️Update!️ 
          
          In the past week, Abstraction (Owen Grady) and Deliverance (Arthur Morgan) have new chapters uploaded! 
          
          So far this year, Wilting has been edited/revised through Chapter 34—still chugging along, and I've added some new scenes and easter eggs sprinkled throughout.
          
          I have a couple of one-shots I'm working on for various fandoms and characters: Arthur Morgan and John Marston, John Wick, and Edward Kenway, just to name the ones sitting half-written in my documents. There's no timeline for when these will be posted, but keep your eyes peeled on my one-shot and drabble books to know when!

        It has been 8 years. I’ve done the math through the authors public conversations and it has been EIGHT YEARS. In 2016 this lovely author finished “Words like Wind.” I dont mean to sound corny, but the impeccable writing in the book is irreplaceable. If you have any doubts on this authors writing, let me mend them. This author puts thought into every single word they write and it always results in a beautifully unique read. My highest regards to you, author. If you ever with to publish a book of your own, (which I wholeheartedly believe you could do, if you so wish) ,I wouldn’t think twice about reading it. Their other works are undoubtedly amazing and worth the read as well. Hopefully this message reaches you well. 

Hi hope you will be able to update the Jurassic world dominion soon . I know you are busy but still hoping you will be able to update . Please don't take it in wrong way , I am not pressuring you just if you get time .

Hey again . R you ever going to update the Abstraction Jurassic world dominion 

Hey r you ever going to update the abstraction owen Grady. 

2024 update!
          
          I am still in the process of editing Wilting. As of last night, I reposted Chapter Thirty, so these edits are halfway done now after two years!
          
          I'm in my third year of my Ph.D., and, as such, I don't have much time to write anymore, but I am still working on Deliverance and one-shots here and there. Hopefully, I'll have a new chapter of Deliverance ready soon, and any one-shots will be posted to their corresponding books.

Dear @Wattpad, 
          
          I cannot begin to explain how much I detest the automated messages you have begun sending writers. See the one I just received this morning below: 
          
          "Hello!
          
          Our system indicates that you have a story which hasn't been updated in a while. Our readers tell us that one of the biggest issues they experience is starting to read a story only to find out that it has stopped updating and has no ending.
          
          If your story is complete, you can go into the “story details page” and mark the story as complete.
          
          If your story is not complete, consider updating it as our discovery systems prefer stories that are regularly updated and are more likely to show those stories to more potential readers.
          
          This is an automated message."
          
          I am a *fanfic* writer. This is not my job. It is a hobby. Some of my stories go months without seeing an update because I have a life and responsibilities outside of fanfic. I do not owe you my time or creativity. This message is no better than the modern readers who mindlessly consume "content" (of which fanfic and fanart SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED) and leave no interactions on stories besides a single comment of 'plz update.' 
          
          How about instead of antagonizing writers about their unfinished works (which is such a gross thing to do), you implement a decent search and tagging function?  You stop demeaning and marking stories as private for mature content when I and others have clearly labeled and noted it contains such but promote the half-naked people on the covers of racy paid stories? How about you remember that this platform truly only came to where it is today because of the scores of fanfic writers who used it in the early 2010s? How about you go back to treating this like a site for stories instead of another lame social media platform?
          
          Why does it matter to you if my story is incomplete? Oh, that's right, because you probably can't make money off of it. 
          
          Kindly, piss off.

Important update/PSA for everyone. At the end of the month (July 31, 2023), I will be unpublishing Faulty Code. 
          
          This is a decade-old story at this point, and of late, it's exhausting to see people fighting with one another in the comments of my story, to have people lecturing me over MCU canon when this story was planned and written well before Thor: Ragnarok was ever released (when there's a clear disclaimer at the start of the story), before the Infinity Saga, before whatever atrocious thing Disney+ is doing with Loki's character. 
          
          You've likely heard me voice my displeasure with Faulty Code multiple times over the last few years, but now it's grown to be too much, and I am doing this to protect my sanity and my readers. I hope you will understand my reasoning and respect this decision.
