Another Sonic work!  It's currently just on AO3, but I've enabled guest comments, and I'd appreciate any feedback if you want to go check it out!

Hi everyone, what's up?
          I'm trying to finally create and follow through with a low-stress writing challenge of some sort and hopefully have fun writing it along the way.  If any of you are either part of the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom or know anyone who is, please let me know and/or pass along word about my challenge (I'm taking requests and also hopefully would like it to circulate so people actually see it).  Thanks!
          
          I will most likely cross-post to Wattpad, but for now I will be posting information/writing to AO3.  HOWEVER, requests from here are still more than welcome!  :)

Hi!
          I plan on keeping most of my fanfics I originally uploaded here (just in updated versions and cross-posted to my AO3 as well), but I will be taking down some of my fanfiction.
          At least regarding my past and unfinished works, I will no longer be continuing my X Reader reader insert fic ("Kismet Tempest").  I know that many people I have connected with on here enjoyed my fic and encouraged me along the way, but my heart is no longer in it.  Additionally, while I'm not inherently opposed to writing (fluffy/clean) reader inserts, I no longer feel like trying to work through this particular one.  I chose a character with a large fan base and accurately predicted it would gain attention that way; unfortunately I can't gather the same excitement.  I apologize to anyone hoping for a completed story.  
          
          There is a slight chance I will eventually rewrite the story (maybe as a character X OC instead, maybe X reader, maybe skip the romance plot entirely), but that is NOT a guarantee and I have more urgent writing priorities in the meantime.
          
          I ask that everyone please respect my writing, even as the story will not be completed: PLEASE do NOT steal any of my titles, ideas, writing, etc., or repost/claim as your own/steal/use in any way.  I know it can be disappointing to find a story that will not be completed, but I ask that you respect the author's wishes by not tampering with it or adding to it in any way.  Thank you.  :)
          
          Thank you all once again for your support, and happy reading and writing!

Hey, this may seem abrupt but I suddenly feel really compelled to say something.  
          
          If anyone out there who sees this is struggling, either if you're having one bad day or you feel you're out of options, I'm here to tell you that there's hope.  I don't say that lightly, and I know from personal experience how crushing the world feels at times.  This is your sign to keep going, to keep believing.  Don't give up.  Because even if you don't believe in yourself or believe that anyone cares about you, I do.  
          
          My DMs are always open (unfortunately Wattpad no longer provides that feature), so please reach out to me either through my Discord (@ ink_thistle) or through my email/other methods if you like.  
          
          I know that everyone might have different beliefs or not be religious, but you are in my thoughts and prayers, whoever and wherever you are.  
          
          Deep breaths.  It will be okay.  Just don't give up, alright?  I'm cheering you on and I'll always listen.  Love you.  <3

Hello!  Currently updating my online image/accounts.  You can find my same AO3 account under the name @ Ink_Thistle, and my Discord is now @ ink_thistle.  
          
          
          This account will still remain, but I will likely update it soon and rename it.  I would appreciate any continued support of my writing, etc., both here and on AO3, and my Discord is always open.  I will post an invite here shortly for anyone who would like to join my server.  For now it will primarily be writing-related, though I might post my art as well and dabble in video gaming, video creation, etc.
          Happy reading and writing, all!
