The Last of the Bugs ⭐️🐞⭐️

so i know that it has been a very, very long time since the last update (march 15th i believe) and i feel like ive been pushing it sm and i think ive reached the point where i need to just accept what is actually likely to happen

i apologize a lot, but truth be told, i’ve lost nearly all of the initial love i’ve had for the show and these characters. i don’t like what this fandom has become recently and i admit to taking apart in that. if you follow me on twt you would see that most of my interactions with st have been negative as of recently

i don’t plan on continuing or finishing the rewrite, and i am so, so sorry for that. i think that if i force myself to finish, the output would be something that i would never want to put out and i know that my bitterness would shine through above all else which is not where i want to leave it at. so for now, i plan on leaving it discontinued

i would like to say that perhaps one day i will finish it, but i dont want people hooked on a false promise. so ill be honest here and say that as far as i can see, the rewrite will remain unfinished, and as a writer, i hate to see my hard work be for naught, however also as a writer, i understand that sometimes works are just left undone

i’m proud of the fic, i really am, but not only have i lost my motivation but i just don’t see it as my best possible work, which feels insane to say since it’s over 200k words

i am so sorry to everyone who’s been following the fic but i also just want to say thank you. as much as my opinions towards this fandom and this fic are mixed, it truly brought back my love for writing, and it’s something i find myself doing in every spare moment that i have these days

again, who knows, maybe once i graduate ill pick the fic up again this summer, but i don’t want to say that i absolutely will

i usually get kinda pissed at asks like this i’m not even gonna get mad cause yeah it’s been a while lol

truth be told my st fixation is fading pretty drastically. i still love will and a few other characters but my love for the og plot and most of the characters is kind of fading

i have little interest in the plot of the show itself and more just enjoy the characters separate of the plot

i also recently have found it very very difficult to write el and mike individually because i think most of my interest for their characters have like, completely faded, which is a little difficult when they’re 2/3 of the mains in the fic

it will get finished, i will complete it, but im definitely changing a few things about the ending and i will probably end up scrapping the sequel for it. i hate leaving things unfinished and after putting so much time and effort into that fic not finishing it would kind of break my heart so it will eventually get done—i wont give an exact time for it but i can confidently say that by summer it will all be done
