just wrote out a very long sentimental message which i then accidentally swiped up and deleted it. my luck this week is impressively bad.
i wanted to say thank you to everyone for the support right now, and i apologize for being slow to answer or brief with explanations. i’m not sure what i can say on here that won’t earn a second report, and repeating myself has just been a bit exhausting. at the moment, i’m still waiting on a response from wattpad and i do want to at least have trust in getting one before i decide to start over.
i’ve had my account for half my life, and started actively writing on here when i was 16. i published paper confines for the first time at 18, and fully recognizing how sad it is, for about three years, the purpose and community built around that fic felt like all i had. the tom riddle fandom has a lot of faults, but it’s also where i met the people who are the reason i know i’ll be okay if things don’t work out. a few years ago i wouldn’t have been able to say that. i can’t really express how grateful i am, and if my account was going to go down for any reason, defending that seems like a pretty good one.
i’m going to give it at least a month before i start moving forward with starting over, but until then i’m not going to be very active on here. if you need to reach me, i’m most active on instagram @sainteda, and that handle (sorry for redirecting everyone a second time) will be where paper confines is republished if worst comes to worst.
again, thank you :)
