well this has been quite the week.....
          
          I had some minor family issues
          
          a few stories I really like have gone on hold
          
          And lastly I found out that Buzznet's new platform doesn't support user blogs, and if you don't request a zip file by December 12th your stuff just gets deleted
          
          luckily for me I found out about that last one before it was too late, however I'm still crushed that all my first favorite stories will be gone, and because a lot of authors haven't checked their blogs in years and probably have no idea that their content is going to be gone, and unfortunately I can't spread the word to them because my profile has already been shut down :(
          
          if your on Buzznet send a zip file request by e-mail to buzznetzip@spinmedia.com to get files of all your content, and do it before December 12th of this year. 
          
          I'm kind of ready to crawl under a rock at this point, but I'm gonna try and be strong
          
          I love you guys!

I'm tired of writing this message! But I continue to write it for the same reason I continue writing and reading fics on here: I'm tired of seeing people leave! I think at this point you all know what this is about. Hayley and Chad are getting married, that's true. Hayley dislikes Paramore fanfiction, also true. But that's no reason to delete your accounts and go totally off the grid! I get that it's out of "respect", but let me ask you: where was this respect before? And why is it limited to Hayley? People saying things like this is doing the one thing we as Paramore fans said we'd never do: show favoritism. Jeremy got married 4 and a half years ago, yet there's Teremy and Jerley fics that people posted as recently as last year. Just because Jeremy never speaks up, doesn't mean it doesn't make him uncomfortable. He's straight as a pole and there's people writing graphic sex scenes with him and Taylor! Which I'm sure irks Taylor a bit too, even more so now that he has a girlfriend. If Hayley gets respect, everyone else deserves it too, but I don't see anyone taking down Jardougall's or Jalex's or Ferard's. 
          
          My point is NOT that these ships should all be taken down, it's that NO ships should be taken down! A lot of you built your success here on things like Tayley and Joshayley, you worked hard on those stories and you're just ready to delete them? How about we all agree to try and write some Chadley fics? And maybe try and make Chad less of a deranged maniac in some stories? Why does it have to be one way or the other? Why not compromise things like this? I'm watching some of my favorite writers and stories disappear, and it's killing me guys! 
          
          By this point I'm sure I have 0 followers left and you all hate me now, but I had to say this. I'm sure I've hurt some people and I'm sorry if I did, it wasn't my intention. Please continue writing and inspiring newcomers like so many of you do! You've worked so hard and I want to see what you do in the future!
