Hey, everyone. I know I've been gone for a really long time and I truly can't explain how sorry I am. I think about "NERD" all the time, how I just randomly stopped writing it and even the way I was writing it. I'm not proud of it anymore but I don't wanna give up on it, you know? A lot has happened in the time I've been gone and because of where I am now, my love and passion for writing is coming back. I wanna keep writing. I'm finally getting serious about my novel but I still want to write goofy fanfics and stuff. If you're still here after all this time, thank you. Seriously. I really need help in figuring out what to do now. Do I rewrite "NERD"? Do I suck it up and finish it, just to get it done? Do I move on to a new story? A new oneshot? What do you guys wanna read from me? What are your favorite stories/oneshots from me? So many questions... The only thing I know for certain right now is that I'm going to rebrand (a.k.a. change my username :p) which means I'm going to have to spend time redoing all of my story covers. So let me know, okay? Give me ideas. I wanna have fun with writing again and I'm eager to start again. I love you all and if you've actually read all of this... I appreciate the hell out of you <3

I honestly wasn't expecting people to love "FIGHT THE WHITE" that much, but I'm glad you do! I wrote it with the pure intent of raising awareness on Civil Rights and the struggle people went through to fight for what they deserved, so to see it get a lot of love and appreciation truly means the world to me :)

@FandomCrossovers1 Same. I'm happy for them nonetheless, but they could've prepared me first ;-;

@Marissa13002 I saw the post and was confused for a hot second. I wished the proposal was recorded, but either way this is huge for them

I just watched Carson's serious livestream about fan culture and I want to throw up. Between THAT episode of the Misfits podcast and THIS livestream, I don't know what to do or how to feel. I completely understand where they're coming from and I do agree with them, but there's just some things that aren't true. Some things that they could only understand from our perspective. I'm going to stop writing my script for my video on fanfictions and record it sooner than planned. And I'm going to improvise. I just want them to see things from MY point of view, not from a Stan POV or a normal fan POV. So if you want to watch it, I'll link it when I post it.

@Marissa13002 i 100% agree. it’s good that you’re being aware of your writing, though i feel like your writing isn’t really a reflection of what they don’t like. i just hope the whole stan culture thing goes away soon lol.

@1-800-JOEMAMA No, I agree with them too. They shouldn't have to deal with such a toxic fan community. Shipping them is one thing, but when fans try to force the ships on the guys, that's when I draw the line. Same thing with the fanfics. Smut and stuff, fine, I can agree that's wrong. But a simple, clean story shouldn't be shunned out just because it includes real people. My fanfics use the guys to portray serious topics and situations to raise awareness of things. But after hearing Carson talk about how dehumanizing it makes them feel, I've sort of changed my perspective a little. I probably won't stop writing about them, but at least I'm more conscious about HOW I'm writing them. I can make excuses for some things, but I'll admit when I can't and shouldn't make excuses for other things, like forcing certain ships, fanfics, and ideas on the guys. That's just wrong.
