So, um… hi? XD It’s been like six months since I was last active on here, and boy did a lot happen. First things first, that kny one-shot? Yeah long story short, it got permanently deleted. All 2,600 words, gone. I was so frustrated that I abandoned it completely. This happened sometime between Christmas and New Years, which also happened to be when I got COVID. Yeah… I was not having the best time then lol. Then the semester started that following month, and if you know me, you know I always go offline whenever school starts up again. It was also a time for me to adjust to in-person learning again, so yeah. Oh, and there was a brief moment where I lost access to this account. A failed attempt at a hack maybe? Like I said, a lot happened lol.
Tbh, I’ve thought about deleting this account and never looking back. Most people I’ve interacted with have moved on, which is probably why the Pokémon fandom on Wattpad is practically dead, but I also don’t wanna completely terminate the work I put in writing those books. The quality on Wattpad itself has gone to crap too. Like, it’s become almost difficult to find a book with decent quality anymore and the amount of ads every other chapter is just annoying. This goes without saying, but I’m pretty much done with writing and will probably never publish another book here again. I’ve been on this cite since I was 13, and I’ll be turning 23 in two months. I think it’s time I moved on too.
If anyone is interested in following me through my artistic endeavors, I have my twitter linked in my bio. I’m also on Instagram @/valkyriexarts where I most mostly kny oc content. Thank you guys for sticking with me this long. Stay safe and have a wonderful day/evening/night!

@kimcgray95 Aaahh, hello Kimiko! It’s been a while. I hope you’re doing well! ;u; As far as Wattpad goes, it really did change for the worse, especially once they introduced ads and paying for stories. I’m also very sad about the PWA! I used to always look forward to it regardless if I entered or not bc I knew I’d find some amazing novels through there! I was holding out hope that it would happen last year, which was why I pushed myself to finishing TBoD at all, but I guess it’s not happening at all. :/ It’s a shame too bc I feel like that’s what helped the Pokémon community on here grow. As for my account… yeah, you’re right about that. I may not have written novels that are perfect, but I am proud of what I’ve written regardless of its flaws. I hope whoever finds them enjoys it even tho there won’t be anymore writing for me. Plus, it’s fun coming back to my old works to see how much has changed! ;u;

Hey there! Great to hear from you. Yeah, it’s really sad to see Wattpad going downhill — I recently returned to it myself, and it looks like I haven’t missed anything. I’m especially sad that the Pokemon fandom died — the Pokemon Watty Awards were such a thrill for me, and I loved the community. I’ve thought about abandoning my account to, but I think you should leave it up; even if you yourself aren’t into writing anymore, I’m certain there are people on Wattpad looking for good writing and stories just like you are, and they’ll be thrilled when they land on your account, even if you aren’t too active anymore. That’s the route I’m taking, at least.
