hi guys!
          	so, listen. i haven't used tumblr in a good 3 years, right? but i've been told by multiple people everywhere that Gone has completely taken over the ianthony tumblr fandom. so i did some serious lurking the other day, and all i have to say is... wow. 
          	it seriously blows my mind. all the feedback, i mean. because - in complete honesty - i hate Gone. rereading it, there's SO many mistakes and things i wish i would've written differently and overall issues with it. but, knowing other people enjoy it so much is all that matters. 
          	creative writing has been my one true passion for as long as i can remember, and i just feel like Gone doesn't refelct that because most of it was so rushed and i barely edited it before posting. but i can't even express how big i smiled while scrolling through tumblr. also, sorry for completely shattering your emotions, guys. oops. 
          	but... yeah. starting in september, i'll be attending one of the most well-known universities in the world (i would prefer not to say publicly, but if you're curious feel free to message me) on a writing scholarship, and plan to major in english and minor in creative writing. i'm still not entirely sure what exactly i'll be doing with said degree, but i'm beyond excited to finally be pursuing the one thing i've wanted for my whole entire nearly eighteen years. 
          	sorry for rambling (as usual.) if anyone actually read this, i just wanna say thanks for all the support, especially all of you tumblr folks. i can't even express how much it means to me. 
          	oh, also, this isn't like a goodbye - just a random thanks. i'll still be posting to Lethality every weekend before i move, and hopefully will try to find the time in school to upload every once in a while. 
          	that's all, because i'm just about out of characters (lol.) thanks again for everything! love to all of you<3

@gracetheninja dude. U broke tumblr. XD And a lot of hearts for that matter. I loved GONE, it was one of my first Ianthony fics and OMG did I scream and cry in the end! Nothing will come close to your story. And believe me, there are a lot of us out there trying to, but we just fail hardcore. The way you wrote Ian and Anthony... Beautiful and horrible at the same time. XD Just wanted to let you know that you have some serious hardcore fans over at tumblr and we are waiting for your first book to be published. We'll be the first in line. :) Love from Germany, scots_rock <3

so
          decimation's over. honestly, i've had it completely finished for like a year now and haven't written a single ianthony thing since then. tbh, i just don't have time to watch smosh anymore and haven't really been keeping up with them at all. at this point, ian and anthony are just characters for me; it's like they're not even real people anymore. and i know that's awful to say, because i'll always support them and they literally impacted my life so much, but i simply can't make time for smosh.
          that being said, considering i don't have time to watch a five-minute video a few times a week, i don't have much time to write. senior year really sucks, guys. just a warning. 
          so, yeah. considering the low amount of feedback decimation got, it obviously wasn't too well-liked, so there's that. i don't really know what i'm gonna do. i mean, with 500 followers (thanks for that, by the way) i don't wanna just leave, but you guys have to understand how busy i am. and, to be quite honest, i'm almost certain i only have so many followers because of gone. don't get me wrong, it's incredible how much feedback that has gotten and i'm so grateful for all of it, but i don't even like the story, honestly. idk. it doesn't matter.
          point is, the few of you who actually still keep up with my stories and care about what's next for me, what do YOU want me to do? i leave for college in august, and obviously a lot will change then, so i don't wanna get too involved in a long story, but i have a few options.
          should i
          1. dig out this really old story i started forever ago and attempt to gain the motivation to clean it up/finish it? it's quite different and will be fairly short, but i think you'd like it, overall. 
          2. make a oneshot collection 2.0? that'd be a lot easier, but i kind of need motivation to get back into writing, so i'm sort of leaning toward the first.
          as usual, i'm rambling, so i'll go now. but please let me know asap. remember to hit me up on twitter whenever (letlthappenband) <3

@gracetheninja Decimation was really freakin good!! I hope you get the motivation you deserve! Your ianthony fics are amazing and honestly I think it'll be worth the wait to get to read what you have to write! Hope you have a great day/week/month/year (you get what i mean)

quick update time:
          i've had decimation completely written for a while now, so i'll probably try to start updating that multiple times a week because 1. i hate it and 2. based on the very low amount of feedback i'm getting, y'all obviously hate it, too, but 3. i hate leaving fics unifished. no promises, though, because i start school tuesday and i'm literally in all ap and honors classes this year (kms.) and with it being my senior year and all the college stress and whatever i'm honestly gonna be too busy to even breathe so here's hoping i even remember to upload on here every once and a while. so yeah. catch y'all later hope your lives are all wonderful xoxox

Please take a moment to appreciate yourself. I have only read one story in the world that made me cry, and it was the Hunger Games. Reading Gone... I don't even know what to say. You are an awesome writer. Here's what to do: change the character names and take that s*** to a library or something. Because everyone who has ever loved or been loved needs to at least see this.
          
          Sorry not sorry for gushing :)
