My name is Madi, I'm in my first year at my university and I'm an aspiring writer. 

I'd like to take a second to thank every single follower, everyone who has commented and voted, and everyone who has supported my work here. Obviously I haven't done much here in several years now, and to look back at the work I've done now, so many years later, and see that they are still supported is honestly an amazing feeling. 

After quickly looking over messages I've received since my absence, I'd like to say a few quick things. 

First, my writing off of this website is going well. I'm still actively writing on other websites (you can check me out on AO3 as user bckynatlalia, and on my Tumblr writing blogs walkeditoff and soviietmade). I've been working on other projects of my own original creation as well, which I do intend to try publishing hopefully very soon. 

Second, it is highly unlikely that I will finish Ariana or the Madness Within at this point. I understand the disappointment, but it's been so long since I've had muse for either of these stories that I'm afraid I'd have to start over in order to get back into it. 

Third, and this is to anyone who has asked for writing advice - I am not a professional writer and I am not qualified to offer you advice. However, you are always welcome to send me an ask on one of my Tumblr blogs. 

Thank you again everyone for the support. I appreciate every last one of you.
