hey! sorry for being a bit late on the reply, obviously i don’t check this account a lot lmao. there are a few reasons i unpublished all of my works—a big one, and the reason i stopped writing in the first place, being bc i just kinda grew out of the fandom. the big one that made me unpublish tho was the realization of how weirdly invasive it is to write these things about real people? like for a long time i didnt think it was all that bad bc like... at least for me, i wasn’t writing about *them*, i was writing about their dynamic and their personalities, and for all i cared u might as well have slapped other names on those characters to separate them from the real people they were, at least loosely, based on. but ultimately the reality is i *didnt* do that—i wrote really, really intimate things about real people. and i’m not here to shame anyone for doing that, that would be super hypocritical of me, but i kinda decided i didn’t want to contribute to it. as long as those stories were on the internet there was a chance that the people they were written about could find them, and i hate to think about what kind of awkwardness it could create between two friends, knowing that people out there are seeing their friendship in that way—even if that wasn’t my intention or how i actually viewed them.
anyway sorry for going on a bit of a rant there, but i figured i didn’t wanna leave a half-assed answer considering how rarely i check in lmao. thank u for being respectful and i hope u’re having a lovely day <33
