I explained to one of my readers about one of my fanfic, so instead of typing it out again, I will copy and paste my response:
"I'm so sorry for deleting the story, but I will be honest as well. I actually gave up and didn't like the plot. It was cringey (in my opinion btw), however, it's saved as a rough draw. Will I ever publish it? No, not now though. Perhaps it'll be out soon, but until then, it's locked away and will never come out of my embarrassment. On the other hand, I am glad that you enjoyed my story even though I don't like it as an author, makes me believe that there are people out there that love my Nightlight fanfics ❤️"
