Sooo here it goes. I'm hoping you guys see this, or at least someone sees this, it seems like most of my announcements go unseen so if you do actually see this, thank you! 
          	
          	When I first joined wattpad I joined as a reader back in middle school, and then began writing my own in late middle school, beginning of high school. Obviously, the main focus of all of my writing is... Loki, woah, a shocker! Well, now here I am, stepping into my big girl shoes and attending University, so needless to say I've changed a lot in the past couple years, or months for that matter. 
          	
          	My interests very much still lay with Loki and marvel in general, but I've been growing to like other groups, other genres as well. I've talked about it many times before but I have been planning my own original novel for some time now, and I think I'm finally getting close to being able to start writing it. 
          	
          	You may have noticed that I haven't posted to a lot of my fics in over a year, and I'm thinking about discontinuing them because I have no time or energy to fix them and make them better, I just don't want to, my audience doesn't actually interact with me in a way that would push me to want to fix the old stuff.
          	
          	I'm going to be changing it up here, and introducing a new group of fic that I decided to start, so you'll be seeing that within the next few days, which will hopefully bring in a larger audience to my page and to interact with me, because honestly I'm losing interest in this platform because all of the followers I have are ghosts with my content.
          	
          	I'm sorry, this is a super rambling note, but in summary I'm fed up with no connection to my audience, and I'm bored with the fics I have going, so expect some change (to the few that are seeing this).
          	
          	Much love
          	xoxo

Just hit 1k on Frozen hearts, thank you amazing people so much for the support!
          
          Frozen hearts and Dancing in the Dark are both reaching their end, which I am ready for but I have no clue what I’m going to work on next. 
          
          I will definitely be working on Disgraced Princess, that book holds a special place in my heart, but in all honesty I don’t know where I’m going next. 
          
          I’m open to writing more fics, and if anyone has any suggestions I’d love to hear them, but I also think I’ll finally start on my own original novel that I’ve been putting off writing. 
          
          I hope you guys will follow along with me on my journey in writing my own novel, it’s definitely harder to gain an audience for something original as opposed to fanfic!
          
          Please let me know what you think! I love hearing your guyses feedback and I love interacting with my followers, although it honestly doesn’t happen very much, my comments are very nonexistent and it makes me so sad :(
          
          Love you guys!!!

Hey everyone, I finally got my hands on an AO3 account, and have started uploading my works there just to test the waters and see how that goes. I think for now I will be still uploading on here just because I am familiar with this platform and have quite the large audience. If you guys could go boost my other stuff on AO3 I would really appreciate that! I'm really hoping to be able to fully transition over there but it'll have to depend on how my profile does.
          
          xoxo Alibear

I'd like to take a brief moment of everyone's time to share a message. Many of you are most likely already aware of this, but for those of you that aren't, allow me to summarize the recent Wattpad news. Wattpad has recently partnered with ViacomCBS, to use writing from authors on this platform for their productions to appeal more heavily towards Gen Z and millennials. 
          Let this be clear that this company openly admitted to not knowing how to appeal to the younger generation, and will be turning directly to fan fictions and other works written by younger peoples. Because of this, smaller authors on Wattpad will be targeted, and thus their work will be stolen. Please take this as a caution, to my fellow authors on this site. We've all known that Wattpad is infamous for monetizing our work but not giving us pay, and having our works stolen, etc. but this really crosses a line. 
          I will be moving all of my working to AO3, and you guys will be able to find me there. I am still undecided on what I am to do with my works currently posted on Wattpad but I assure you, my audience will be the first to know when I make an ultimate decision. I am not permanently leaving Wattpad, simply stopping my uploads on this program, and moving to a much more author-friendly site.
          While I have the chance I would also like to apologize to my audience for not uploading very much recently. I've hit a rough patch mentally, but I've also been lacking motivation to post here anymore. It seems that while my views are very high, I rarely get comments or feedback. As a person who thrives off of feedback this is particularly rough for me, especially knowing that I am reaching people, they just aren't responding. I'm hoping that on AO3 I'll be able to start over, and really hit the ground running with finishing up my works and finally getting starting on my original novel.
          Please I beg of you to be careful with what you post on Wattpad, I hate seeing the harm this platform has caused authors.
