Hey, guys. Been a long while, hasn't it?
          
          No good news here, I'll be honest. I've unpublished Prayana, and I'm currently unsure if I'll pick it up again. I've been having major writer's block for the past 4-5 months; I haven't been able to write more than 3K words on the total for that time period. Including other fandoms, because I've been feeling guilty for trying to start new projects when Prayana was just there, waiting for me.
          
          And if I'm being more honest, I think I've fallen out of the fandom too. It was bound to happen, it's been nearly five years since I hopped on the bandwagon. I don't think I'll ever fully get over the Mahabharata, and I do think I will write again. I have some good ideas for works, but at the moment I'm simply not capable of doing anything right now.
          
          So, is this goodbye? Maybe. I'll only be here to read my friends' works, and even that will probably be REALLY late (sorry, friendos).
          
          I intend to enjoy my last leg of this phase of life, and perhaps explore other fandoms. You can find me on Tumblr (my username is theramblergal), and from there, my AO3 (which I will not link directly because I'm not comfortable doing so). Where I will probably publish more often (but still rarely), because I don't really intend to return to Wattpad.
          
          Or maybe I will. I don't know at this point in time.
          
          Take care, y'all. I'm so glad to all the friends I've made here, I love you guys.

❝ I Had Closed off all avenues to Your grace,
          But then, I found myself at her doorstep, seeking solace and pace.
          And what an astonishment that You made her to heal and renew,
          So with gentle care, she led me back to You. ❞
          
          Salam! If you get time, check it out! You never know, you may find yourself adhering to it!

Chapter 10 of my screenplay + novel is out Ruhi!
          I would love if you read some of the chapters and gave me some feedback!

          Thank you Ruhi!

Not gonna be all that dramatic, because I think everyone's had enough drama for weeks. I'm not going to comment on anything but I do want to say that none of us fanfiction authors are making money on any of this. It's meant to be fun and relaxing. But then, you do you. Whatever that looks like for you.
          
          I've plenty of stress to deal with in real life; online places like here are where I seek my safe space. And Wattpad has been highly toxic for a much longer time than I've been willing to admit to myself. 
          
          So I think I'm going to stop reading on Wattpad. Save a few exceptions, I probably won't check out any works here. The only thing I'll come online for is to post my stories, maybe reply to comments and read a few authors' works. 
          
          Cheers, peeps.

Mi amor- I miss you- (⁠っ⁠.⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠っ

Welp hello again. School's settled down a bit, and I'm on the verge of completing my college apps and I feel like I'm just being lazy here :P
          
          So I'll set a schedule for Prayana, else I'll never complete it. Every two weeks on Friday, around 10:30 AM IST (Wattpad's scheduling option is a great thing), I'll update. Not as fast as I'd like it to be, but honestly considering the number of other ideas and WIPs I have [some in completely different fandoms], and my studies and stuff, this is probably best for me.
          
          So the next update I'll make is either this Friday or next Friday. No promises as to which Friday, however. I've missed writing my kiddos. :D

A short retelling of the story of Shiva-Sati. Give it a try maybe.

I'm putting Prayana on hold for awhile. I'm a little busy at the moment with the new school year and college stuff, so I don't have the time/mental capacity to write right now. Hopefully I'll return in a month.

Sometimes I think people do not have general reading comprehension. Or they cherrypick quotes from the texts to prove their point.
          
          DRAUPADI WAS HAPPY WITH THE PANDAVAS.
          
          Full stop.  If you do not believe that, please read the Mahabharata again. The original text, not whatever folktales or "modern retelling" you follow.

Question: do you guys think that the other sons of the Pandavas fought in the war? I know they're not mentioned anywhere but just wanted to know other's opinions on this.
