Hey, y'all!
          
          So, I have some big news. I have a new project coming out.
          
          If you're into LGBT+ romance, love triangles, fantasy, and enemies to lovers tropes, you're going to love "Pride of the Kingdom."

Hey, y'all!
          
          I just wanted to inform some of my readers that I am in fact not dead, lol. I just simply haven't been writing or had the want to write, for a long while. Things have been stressful, as, after 4 years on the English Teaching path, at my college, I decided to swap majors to English - Lit and Language. Due to covid and the effects it had on my schooling and experience, as well as the recent laws and changes that appear to be affecting teachers across the US, it just doesn't feel like a safe job option, for me. 
          
          For those unaware, I am a nonbinary lesbian and this concerns certain people as they believe that that instantly makes me someone who would be a danger to their children. It also means that I would be subject to more ridicule and speculation, as there might be parents that want a close eye on me and make sure I'm not "indoctrinating thier children with my queer agenda." Aka, this would mean not validating any of my LGBT+ students or discussing topics of gender, sexuality, or even my freaking home life, as I am in a same sex relationship. Overall, teaching just doesn't seem like the job for me, right now.
          
          I also wanted to announce that I am thinking about doing a story giveaway. I haven't watched Fairy Tail in over 4 years and I'm not sure if Dragon's Requiem is a project I am meant to finish. I just don't have the passion I used to have, for the base material.  I think that someone with the passion for Fairy Tail and the drive to write this story should be given the chance to finish my vision. I am thinking the same about Alleycat, my Miraculous fanfic. I haven't seen that show in around the same amount of time and I just don't have the drive to continue with this story, either. I might just let Tag die, as no one is really interested in Homestuck fics, anymore, but I will leave it uploaded. So far, it's just a thought, so nothing is made up, yet. If I do decide to give the stories away, I'll update you all, again.
          
          Have a great day, everyone!

Looking at how organized your reading lists are, makes me feel incompetent with myself. Btw, you're such an amazing writer, like even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to make something half as good as your works

I feel like the only reason that I have the followers I do, is because I write fanfics that people seem to enjoy, even though they have never been edited and the story pry has a crud ton of holes or mistakes, because I forgot a detail that I had written earlier. I only know of one person who is actually reading Closet Doors. And they're kinda only reading it, because we're friends irl and we're both real gay. And to the people who collectively peered at Love is Cold, thanks for those 68 views and 1 like in the, I think, 2 YEARS SINCE I POSTED IT, and hasn't had a new view in years. People don't like my stories. They like my adaptations and the characters that someone else made. They like those characters and the fact that I made something with them in it made my stuff seem interesting. If I had written My Roman or Beauty of with original characters and had they not been in a fictional world that someone else made, no one would give a crud about those stories. Now, when I'm taking more time to focus, on my originals, I'm realizing just how futile it is to try and grow my audience, because people only come here, to my page, for the fanfics. I'm thankful for my readers, don't get me wrong. Out of the THOUSANDS of other fanfics that reside in my categories, they chose to read mine and leave likes and comments about how great it is. But, when that story ends, they might read another fanfic, but, more than likely, they're going to leave my page. What I'm really saying here, is that this site, its readers, aren't here for original stories. And that kinda hinders the true reason I joined this site. Sure, I love reading fanfics, but I make time for originals. I like a lot of the LGBT stories I've read. I read some fantasy books, here and there. And I, occasionally, look at art and poetry. I like original creators works, because I wish more people would. Fanfics are great, but finding new characters, writers, and worlds to love brings me a lot more joy.

I really wish that we could post gifs to our boards. The only one I would have up, at the moment, would be Squidward banging his head on the cash register. I mean, I've written over 2,000 words, in the last 2 days, but I don't feel like I have been writing enough, since I've started attending college. It's all just a mess, for me, right now.

And another shout out to those in Sweden, Australia, and the Philippines!  It's great to have you!

Shout out to my international readers from India, Belgium, Malaysia, Indonesia, and The UK! It's so cool to see that my work is reaching so far.

Tank you to all of my readers, these last few months. I just started college, this year, and have written so many papers that writing after those is a near chore for me. Thankfully, over the summer, I had written "Tag, You're It" to post intermittently. Every her and there, I try to write a paragraph in one book and jot down some ideas. For those who were really excited for "Medusa" and saw that I put it on hold, I'm sorry, but that one is the story I'm least concerned with. For those reading "Alleycat", "Dragon's Requiem", and "Closet Doors", you'll be happy to know that they are still being worked on, but the going is slow. Thank you to everyone who has been understanding of my hectic schedule and for those who continue to leave such sweet comments and likes. All of your support means a lot to me.
