Hey I just need my followers and people who read my content to know that while I love that you enjoy what I write and I'm happy to see all the feedback and comments, please stop asking for updates.
I'm not a dancing monkey. I'm now almost 22 years old, working full time night shifts at an Amazon facility to survive, lost a family member last year and I'm prepared to lose another one to kidney failure any day now, all the while my partner and love of my life had to go across the country for who knows how long to take care of their mother. I'm scraping by financially with the most physically demanding job I've ever had, while trying to Superman jump over a skyscraper of life changes with virtually zero emotional support.
Writing parts to my stories not only requires hours of unpaid labor, but also a mental workload that is only available to people who are not in situations like I am. And this isn't just for me, too. If you feel the urge to request an update to anything you enjoy, please please please consider the author first. Most of the authors I've spoke with on here pretty much agree that their inactivity is a result of personal hard times and that people asking for updates makes them want to write less.
Again, I thank you all for the love and interest in my stories, but asking for updates adds a pressure, to fanfic writing of all things, that just shouldn't be there.
