I rarely make announcements and posts, I am just completely horrible at keeping up with social media, that's my bad. I read your comments guys, they make me laugh, smile, and overall happy that so many people are still engaged with my books! I get offended very rarely. You'd be surprised. However I have a few things to say as an author. I am not blind to what fanfictions are. I know that people like to imagine themselves as the main characters or whatever books they are reading, I have done it a number of times myself! I wondered what it would be like to be Elizabeth Bennett! I totally get it. But I never imagined myself instead of Elizabeth Bennett, because just getting rid of a character Jane Austen worked on like that is not how I vibe (I am not judging if you do though).  My book is not an Y/N and for good reason. Personally, I am not the biggest fan of Y/N. They're messy and it's tricky to put the plot together without fluff or smut in Y/Ns (I also know that's probably why people like reading them so much). I tried to create a character who is relatable and unique. I've given her a backstory, a personality. I put a lot of effort into her. However, I have also left her ambiguous, so that readers can imagine themselves as her, so that they can put themselves in her situations. On that note, reading comments such as "y/n is much better" offend me as an author. I would kindly urge you to go read a y/n fanfiction then, if that is what you're looking for. With that said, I absolutely have no problem with people imagining themselves as my character or pretending that they are her, that's the whole fun of reading a fanfiction isn't it? What I have a problem with is such blatant disregard for the original character and for me as an author, someone who put time and effort into this character. I am sure most of you picture yourselves as Angelina, and I love that, that's totally fine, but "y/n is better?" Sis. Let's not do that here

@WonderlandDreaming- I am EXTREMELY grateful to everyone and anyone who has read my book and wrote such wonderful messages to me. I sometimes go through a whole routine of reading comments and replying to them. Anyway, if you're offended by what I said, Im just expressing my opinion on MY fanfiction. It's just something that struck a cord with me and my social media dislike in general. We hide behind screens and don't really bother to make sure our words aren't harmful. Some of you guys even expressed how wrong you think Angelina was in some cases (I totally agree, she's a flawed character on purpose and I love that you noticed that!). I love criticism, in fact if you do wanna add some criticism or advice, feel free to DM me, I welcome that! But frankly what I talked about wasn't criticism, it just came off as rude. (Maybe I am reading into it because sarcasm can't be passed through text ). Blessings to all, and I am still working on getting the second book back up, thank you all for being so patient!
