I think we’ve all had our moments when the facade of LT was a bit tarnished.  And why not, they’re only human and not the perfect aliens too many fans looked at them as being.  I never counted myself among that group though.  None of us are perfect aliens.
          
          I Completely feel your feelings are valid.  In fact, for me, there were times in 2020 when I didn’t think I could finish or continue with Uncaging Bunny because of things about themselves they were revealing.  I am especially appreciative of you saying that not ALL the fans are bad.  Not all of their fans are toxic.  Personally, those who have too much centered their lives around LT and having unrealistic expectations from them will suffer the most and who will become more toxic and territorial, to their personal detriment, IMO.  THAT is not healthy for anyone.  
          
          I DO consider myself a fan of their’s, no doubt.  I personally  continue to admire their immense talent.  I appreciate a LOT of things about them, but my fandom of them is one I feel is in a healthy range where I will never allow it to overshadow the importance of my own life.  LT are an inspiration, no doubt, with respect to their resilience, their courage, love of family, and each other, their perseverance, and other things.  I’d initially planned to be on that cruise but other things prevailed.  Maybe next time.  I hope to attend another one of their workshops, hope to see you guys there, and I will always wish them the best.  :-D

hey my loves. just here stopping by and i saw wattpad took away direct messaging? i’ve met such amazing people on this app in my six years here, and to have a company who’s goal is to seemingly make this the worst experience possible pains me. time after time, not only i but for other creators too, have had our hard work deleted (for no reason whatsoever) and it really makes me wary to post here ever again. i’ve seen such brilliant authors and close friends leave one after another and i personally can’t blame them. wattpad is not and has not been the same in such a long time and i highly doubt that they’ll change in their ways. this isn’t a goodbye at all (i hate goodbyes anyways), it’s just insane to me to see such a wonderful place that was filled with so much love and sense of community is now sitting behind a paywall and bs updates that nobody asked for.
          
          enough of that rant though. i hope everyone has been doing exceptionally well and is surrounded by light and love <3

@bourgeoistingzzz agree 100!!! WTFP is definitely not the same and getting worse.  Have any of you writers looked at royalroad.com?

Hi, @bourgeoistingzzz, yes to everything you said.  It’s gotten to the point where I fear logging on, trepidatious as to whether my words will still be or not be there.  It’s scary.  I love our WP family and the many reading options available that I fear may soon only be available for a price.  Are we being weened out?!?  It’s so sad.

@bourgeoistingzzz I think you feel and speak for us all here.  I don't know what the hell is going on, but it's obviously money and greed driven, and not a need to provide a platform for writers.  I'm so unhappy this is happening to people we've all come to know as friends in our shared community.  I hope you don't stop writing, unless the urge leaves you, or our guys are being idiots again.  Hope to see another of your masterpieces here again soon. <3

Hi guys. I post this with a lot of regret but I was unable to update Uncaging Bunny this Friday.  I’m still working on the next chapter.  I had a few hours on a roll two days earlier this week, but I won’t leave you hanging for long.  I’m going to do all I can to complete 2 chapters for next week.  Thanks so much for your continued interest in this story.  Still more to come ❤️❤️❤️
