My lovelies,
I just wanted to quickly explain why "The Missing Piece," my Jemily story, is gone.
I withdrew it.
I always loved writing here and interacting with you in the comments.
It was my safe space. Every comment meant so much to me.
But...someone has been leaving really ugly comments under the Jemily chapters lately. Someone who used to be a supporter.
I wanted to ignore it. But it hurts. It still does. Wattpad was my sanctuary.
My place where I could be completely myself and write about things I never normally talk about.
I really felt like I was helping others, giving them comfort, refuge with my stories.
But...these comments were hurtful because they contained a grain of truth.
I have few views, hardly any comments.
The last few Jemily chapters were only filled with hateful comments.
And I didn't delete it to censor it, but because I felt so damn insecure about putting out a word I wrote.
I'm so sorry, I tried to rise above it, but I've never felt as bad about my writing as I do now. I'm not writing this to fish for compliments, but simply to be transparent.
I don't think I'll re-upload the Jemily story.
And if the comments about my other stories are similar, I'll have to rethink my approach.
I appreciate honest feedback. If you hate my stories, please let me know what I could do better. Take care and remember, you are so loved!
Your support is the reason why i am still here at all.
I am trying my best for all of you
xx

@anon_1875 My dear, I don't know how to express how much your words mean to me. It touches me deeply that my stories help you so much. That's exactly why I write them. And I'm really trying my best to stay positive and ignore the bad things. Unfortunately, I know the person who left the nasty comments, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a bot. Even so, I really appreciate your information, thank you! Thank you, really, from the bottom of my heart xx

writing can be so very vulnerable, especially when it’s about such personal intimate topics, and it’s completely inappropriate for people to be leaving comments like that. i am honoured (and i’m sure many others are too) that you continue to choose to share parts of yourself with us when you write, and though i don’t necessarily watch all the shows that you write about, there has never been any question about the quality of your writing. i remember you took a request from me ages ago in your mental health one-shots, and every now and again i still come to revisit it because i was so truly moved by what you wrote.
i know it’s hard, but try not to feel discouraged by views and votes - every good author has had periods of time where it feels like their work hasn’t been landing in the way they wanted it to, but you have lots of silent supporters too. the content of your writing is so raw and truthful and comforting, it’s helped me through many rough days and i’m sure it has for many others too. even if they’re not reading anymore, you’ve helped them in the past, and that’s something to be proud of.
just a small something - i have seen a lot of bots/people’s accounts being hacked across both here and ao3 leaving some very horrible comments. it may not be specific to you or your writing. even if it is, it’s not deserved, but just thought i’d put it out there.
keep your head up. you have many people in both the past and present who have adored, found comfort in or appreciated your writing. and we will still be here for as long as you continue to post <3 xx
