Hey loves,
          
          I owe you all an honest update about where I’m at. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting and it hurts to admit, but I’m losing my passion for writing. I’ve been putting an overwhelming amount of pressure on myself to make every story absolutely perfect for Tim and Lucy, and trying to maintain my old, fast-paced posting schedule has turned my favorite creative outlet into a major source of anxiety.
          
          Writing for the The Rookie and Chenford fandom has been my ultimate safe space, and I have absolutely adored dropping them into different universes and crafting new memories for them. However, my life outside of this account is incredibly hectic right now. Juggling school, my internship, work, and ongoing exams alongside the pressure to write has become unsustainable, and I need to protect the love I have left for this hobby before I completely burn out.
          
          Because of this, I’ve made the difficult decision to quit. This isn’t just a break, but it also isn’t goodbye forever I might return in a few months or years, so I am keeping this account and leaving all my stories up for you to read. I need to step away now to listen to my mind and body, focus on my future, and take care of myself.
          
          Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has followed, messaged, and cheered me on; your endless support means the absolute world to me. I really tried to balance everything and wish things were different, but I hope you can understand why I need to do this. I love you all so much.
          
          With all my love,
          Stephanie 
          

Hey loves,
          
          Not many people know much about me, but I wanted to post this because I saw a comment about an hour ago asking if I write my stories using AI. I was actually replying to it, but I’m at my internship right now so I had to put my phone away, and now I can't find the comment anymore! I still wanted to clear some stuff up in case anyone else was wondering. To be real no, my stories aren't written with AI. I actually wish they were sometimes lol it would be so much faster!  When I first started this account, I had a bunch of stories saved in my notes that I was posting every single day. I was writing so much that I got to the point where I was totally exhausted. That’s why I’ve switched to posting on certain days now; the story I’m posting right now isn't finished yet and it takes a lot of time to work through. English is definitely not my first language. I spent so much time in high school taking extra courses, summer school, and activities just to learn how to write in English because I’ve always loved making up stories. I started this account last year because I finally felt like I was ready, and I think my English is getting better over time. It took a lot of courage for me to even start posting here. I do use Google if I need to look up info for a story, but I definitely don’t use AI. I just wanted to put that out there! If you guys have any other questions like this, you're always welcome to ask me.

Aaahh your writing has come so far I love how you take ideas from followers!! The talent is incredible

hellooo i have a list of ideas if you’re not bothered:) 
          (i love your writing style and i would love to write in english since i read in english but it’s not my first language and i couldn’t do it) 
          
          -what if lucy and tim had an argument before work (lucy was on her day off) and when lucy went to the little shop near their house she was in an hostage situation 
          -what if lucy had a lot of panic attacks but didn’t told tim until he found her once during a VERY bad one 
          -what if lucy hides from tim that she keeps fainting to not worry him (even she doesn’t know why)
          -what if lucy stopped eating to be « pretty enough » for tim 
          -what if tim and lucy were in a car accident (not that bad, they both pulled through healthy)
          -what if lucy keeps falling asleep everywhere without a reason (which worries tim, angela, grey…)
          -what if lucy was sick and hides it from tim on patrol until she’s not okay at all
          -what if tim and lucy have a 4-5yr old daughter, zoe bradford chen, and only likes tim (like she’s saying that she hates lucy, she wants tim instead and other terrible think) and lucy keeps trying to be the best mom ever to her but this breaks her and she hides it from tim until he founds out when lucy has a total mental and physical breakdown
          -what if lucy has very bad nightmares after caleb
          -what if during a call lucy was trapped in a house and beaten up by chris (her radio is cut) 
          -other stories with their daughter and ofc lucy/jack relationship
          
          (IN ALL THESE STORIES TIM AND LUCY ARE TOGETHER)

Hey loves,
          
          I just wanted to let you all know that I’m going to be taking a little break. I’ve been writing and posting nonstop for so long that I’ve honestly exhausted myself. As much as I love creating stories and sharing them with you, I need some time to rest and get back to feeling like me again.
          
          I can’t thank you enough for all your support, suggestions, and love. Talking with you, hearing your ideas, and seeing how excited you get about my stories has meant the world to me. You’ve made this whole experience so special.
          
          I’m not sure yet if this will be just a short break or something longer, but I truly hope it’s only temporary. I just need some time to breathe and recharge so I can come back stronger and inspired again.
          
          Thank you for understanding and for always being here. This isn’t goodbye, just a see you later. ❤️
          
          – S❤️
