Alright so currently my thoughts are throwing up all else that I've pre-written for A Complicated Relationship [ACR] and PLANNING to rewrite it (because I do love Deirdre especially -- Al and Luce too but I've already got them in a couple other fics "in the works") but knowing myself, I'll get halfway through editing and stop. 
          	  
          	  I have a couple other fics I'm hoping to put up soon, I haven't posted in so long that I've forgotten how amazing it is to post something, and seeing a recent comment reminded me of that. My secret santa fic is definitely going up by Aug 5th at the latest, guaranteed, and I have another that I'm hoping to finish soon. I likely won't be posting much unless it's something I've completed and want to share because if it's not basically finished or already done, I know it'll become another repeat of "I'll update I swear" and "Okay so it's been awhile...and I'm losing motivation...."
          	  
          	  Anyways, those are my plans. Tell me if you actually read this???? It's super long.
          	  
          	  ALSO JUST THOUGHT OF THIS: I do have a ton of old six word stories and I love writing them so I guess I could post those as well if anyone's interested???

Okay I've been off for quite awhile but I promise I am still alive (somewhere, part of me is alive, I have break this week to recover the rest of me and hopefully write some stuff).
          
          So as of April 2, 2016, here's what's up with my stories: 
          A Complicated Relationship is basically dead so I'm sorry for those of you that loved it, but if you want to continue it on your own just send me a message
          
          Mystery Room Oneshot Series & Professor Layton Oneshot Series
          --everything is dead till I get a prompt because my mind sucks at imagination
          
          Other (not yet on here): 
          I'm working on an original piece and a collab, but those are such big projects they won't be up for months if then
          I am now actually putting work and effort into my stories so when these go up they WILL be completed I shan't let them wither and die (like my life hahAha)
          
          It's hard being a writer, lemme tell ya.

Oh and I guess I discussed rewriting A Complicated Relationship...? Forgot about that, and it's not really at the forefront of my mind but maybe once I finish these other pieces I'll return to them. Just send me a message if you want to see a rewritten one of these, though character analysis is going to be a big ordeal (although I suppose I have to for the collab too....)

          Yeah, I'm in the process of replaying Mystery Room at the moment, and I've been conversing with askalfendilayton from Tumblr about how they portray the characters so well. The unfortunate part however is that it'll take awhile for me to really be able to analyze their dialogue and reactions to things to be able to portray them well, but I'm working on it!

@WarriorLight
          I understand where you're coming from, for sure. I do like where my story has gone and what's happened, and I like how the characters are changing. But when I refer to them being undeveloped, it's that I feel like the way they're written is more a story they're forced into, rather than a path they might take. I feel like the characters individually are underdeveloped, that they are just puppets controlled awkwardly (and I understand that that's almost the definition of writing right there), that they're very two-dimensional. It doesn't feel like there's anything more to them than what you can see because I don't know what more there is to them, so I can't hint at any underlying feelings or motives. I hope that explains it a bit better, but I love the reviews you've been giving and I will definitely PM you if I need any help with the story :)

Alright, I know a lot of people do 'rewritten's, but I think I'm the first to do a rewritten rewritten. I know it must be getting tedious, the fact that I keep going back and trying to rewrite, but seeing as I won't be able to update soon anyways (such horrible writers block combined with "I can't write this next part without it being shitty and terrible") I thought might as well take some time to edit and rewrite so I continue to work, rather than forgetting it all. The storyline most likely won't change, but it'll hopefully be better written. I feel like my characters aren't well developed, like they're just puppets without a purpose, and so I hope to make my writing more...not predictable, but realistic or plausible, and the dialogue and actions of the characters more purposeful and realistic. I'm hoping if I can manage this throughout most of my story, I'll be able to write the next part through my characters, rather than forcing them into something unrealistic in an unrealistically horribly shitty way. 
          So anyways, point is, I'm rewriting again. I won't remove the current version until I've caught the rewritten version up, but I think I'll be creating a new story. I'll send another message out when I start it --I doubt it'll be soon, along with I think I'll do all the chapters before I post, adding touch-up edits before each chapter goes up, but I really feel like I need to analyze the characters more indepth to be able to portray them well, which will likely take awhile. 
          Thank you all for your patience, and I apologize for my indecisiveness and inability to not stick with something.

@-Hilda_of_Lorule- Yeah, I haven't played in awhile. In all honesty, I actually never even thought about it like that until I saw what you'd written, so originally I found it hilarious, too, along with a tad confusing XD. I don't think you have to pay for the cases again, but I think you have to replay them, it wouldn't have saved the data. (Unless you saved it on iCloud)
