POLYCANONS

So, I have closed the ask box a bit early because I now work a double shift tomorrow. Sorry, guys! Thank you once again to everyone for all the love and support - polycanons was such a blessing and I loved almost every second of it.

For those curious, I am still working on the drafts folder. A queue of all the requests sent in will start automatically next Friday, when I guesstimate I’ll be done all the past requests. This post will be the last thing set to reblog on that queue so once you see it again, that’s officially the last post on polycanons!

For those also curious, my new blogs are all up and active. They are:

My multi-fandom imagines blog for animated shows, Toonitude

My Harry Potter/Hogwarts imagines blog, Muggle Imagines

My multi-fandom imagines blog for literary fandoms, Lit Imagines

My Saiyuki imagines blog, Saiyuki Imagines

My Boku no Hero Academia imagines blog, Heroic Imagines

My Eyeshield 21 imagines blog, Devil Bat Imagines

My Katekyo Hitman Reborn blog, Ciaossu Imagines

Hello again, anon dear! I’m so glad to hear that people understand - it’s really just terrifying because I didn’t want to disappoint anyone but didn’t want to put out mediocre work that I wasn’t enjoying because I figured it really wasn’t the best work, which is what any of my followers deserve! And I appreciate the good luck wish! I’ll definitely need it, as anyone starting new blogs does! Thank you again for all the support - it’s made the hard work fun and worth it!

Hey there, anon dear! Thank you so much for the sweet compliment - it means a lot to me to know that, as a writer, I helped you get your mind off any problem you were having, if even for a second! As said in my last actual reply though, I’m not really in the Hunter x Hunter fandom anymore really and it’s been difficult for me to write about it, though I still try. I just don’t feel as strongly in love with it as I used to, though I still enjoy it. That’s not to say that my love for it won’t rekindle again and that there’s absolutely no chance of me ever starting a HxH blog, just that it’s not in the plans for the moment. 

As said, I’m not really active in the fandom anymore. I don’t read HxH imagines blogs anymore or really spend much time on HxH fandom blogs anymore, outside of answering the requests sent in for it so I’m not sure what the active HxH blogs are anymore. I know I have a few listed here and I followed the following list, though I do not guarantee any of them actually are active anymore:

Anime Imagines!

Coconut Imagines

Imagine That Hell

HC’s For Baes

Pretend Writer’s Nook

Jet Imagines

Imaginastys

Hoe-Imaginess

So, as I’m sure you’ve guessed from the last couple posts, Polycanons will officially be going on permanant hiatus. I want to, before anything else, thank you all so very, very much for all the love, support, and fun you’ve provided me with since the opening of this blog! I never thought the blog would become as big as it did, be as amazing as it was, or have so many brilliant, beautiful followers as it gained! I’m very sad to be leaving the blog, though I look forward to moving forward with my other blogs and I hope I’ll see some of you there!

Now, as I said, I’m not leaving empty-handed! I feel like that wouldn’t be fair, not leaving without giving you guys anything! So I’ll be accepting last requests, having one big bash - I’ll be accepting requests for all the fandoms currently on the fandom list, for anything (scenarios, match-up, pairing prompts, any event/prompts I’ve ever posted, character aesthetics, fanmixes, and headcanons) until Saturday morning. At that time, the ask box and submission box will completely disappear! I’ll answer the replies as I can and will queue them, one a day. When the queue finally runs out...well, that’s it. The last post polycanons will most likely ever see!

Thank you, all three of you, for taking the time to send me in your opinions! You’re all such lovely, wonderful people and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the love and support! I’ll be making the official announcement with all the details in a minute but I really wanted to let you all know how much these messages have meant to me - I’ve been re-reading them since you sent them and they’ve really helped me not only make a decision but to feel really good (if really anxious and sad at times) about this all.

@sonnelittle: First off, thank you so much for the sweet compliment! It’s really great to hear that you don’t think I’ve been a crappy admin! Life here on polycanons has been up and down and I’ve been really unsure of how I was doing as an admin throughout the course of it all, so it’s fantastic to know that people enjoyed me as an admin! I really love the input on what you like my writing for! It’s so great to know you’d enjoyed both fandoms since I was never sure, especially with HxH, if my headcanons were really fitting! Unfortunately, I’m not sure if I’ll be keeping writing for HxH - it’s been among the fandoms I’m a little worn out on, to be honest with you all (the frequent hiatuses - seriously, me and Togashi have that in common - and general overload of writing for it might have a little to with it, to be brutally honest). I mean, there’s always a chance I might open up a blog for it at some point in the future, but at the moment, it’s not something I immediately plan on doing. However, I do plan, once I’ve done some housekeeping for my other blogs (within the next week or so), to make a BNHA-centric imagines blog, though I do need to get caught up on all the new chapters. I got so busy that I haven’t finished the Hero License Exam Arc!

To the second anon: Thank you so much for the sweet compliments, the support, and the input on which fandoms you enjoy me writing for! It’s really exciting to hear that you’re a fellow Saiyuki fan! The fandom’s so small that I wasn’t sure people really were into it anymore! I definitely have plans to make a Saiyuki-centric imagines blog and plan on rereading both Saiyuki, Gaiden, and Reload and reading Reload Blast and Ibun so that I can write for Saiyuki all across the board!

Hmm...that’s an interesting suggestion and I thank you so much for sharing your opinion with me and for being supportive! However, I don’t think that option would work for several reasons.

First off, I don’t think I could choose someone to take over for me. Who am I to decide who is the better writer? What critera do I use? Should it be the person who writes the most like me so the posts will have continuity and whose headcanons completely match my own? But then, who am I to assume that the way I write and my headcanons are better than anyone else’s? There’s so many extremely talented people out there that I couldn’t choose and I wouldn’t want to be in the position of having to.

On top of that - this blog has so many fandoms. Would the new admin have to be a fan of them all? Most of them? Just one of them? If they weren’t a fan of most of the fandoms, why shouldn’t they just open their own blog for the fandom(s) they did like? Why take over a blog instead of making one of their own?

On top of that, I’ll be honest and sincere here - I opened polycanons on my own. I put a lot of work into making it, promo’ing it, doing events, replying to asks. I have poured a lot of work into this. When things got to much, I did rely on co-admin’s but largely, most of what’s on polycanons is my hard work, as fun as that hard work was. I wouldn’t be comfortable going - here, capitalize on all my hard work, on all the formatting I’ve done for masterlists, fandom lists, etc. Capitalize on all the replies I’ve already done, on all the followers this blog already has. If I ever handed this blog off, honestly I’d pull every single reply, every single post, off of here since I wouldn’t want my stuff under someone else’s blog - not that much of it, at least. I’m all for supporting other writers, but not to that extent. I’m selfish. I don’t want to lose all these posts I’ve written either because I hope people still enjoy reading them for the first time or coming back and re-reading them. I link to headcanons I’ve done for questions being reasked on my other blogs because honestly, I put a lot of hard work into writing those headcanons the first time, why should I redo everything just to say the same thing?

Hello, my lovely readers! I’ll try not to be too long-winded in this post, though I do tend to ramble, despite my better efforts. 

Anyway, first off, I’d like to thank everyone again, for all the requests sent in for the event and for the few sent in afterwards! I’ll be working on all requests in the inbox over the next week, after work and on my days off. I’m sorry I haven’t posted them yet - I got caught up in a bit of an event on another blog and between that and work, got side-tracked! I apologize but hope to have all 17 waiting requests up by the end of Sunday!

Now, to the actual conundrum part! I know this blog has been on and off hiatus quite a bit and that, even off hiatus, I’ve been posting very little and receiving very few requests! You readers have all been fabulous, please do not get me wrong! I’m so, so blessed to have such amazing readers! However, between work becoming longer and more stressful, issues with health and with work being divided between co-admin’s, I kind of lost interest in polycanons. I did move a lot of fandoms over to their own side-blogs, like with KHR, ES21, and my cartoon blog. All three of those blogs have actually taken off really well, they’re easy for me to check since they’re all linked to my main tumblr account, and honestly, I find it easy to simply answer based on the fandom I’m feeling like writing for at that moment, find it easiest to get excited writing on those ones. Meanwhile, let’s face it, you all can tell I still haven’t really found my love for polycanons again.

So, here’s my conundrum - I love all you readers and there are still fandoms on here I love writing for. I don’t want to be that bad admin. I know half my issues with the blog are because I have been that bad, lazy admin in the past and that asks aren’t flooding in like they are on the other blogs (all relative to the fandom’s size, of course - while my cartoon blog only gets eight or nine asks a month, all the fandoms are small and forgotten, but my KHR blog, where the fandom is still big, got over 100 event asks...polycanons got around twenty-five to thirty) because I’ve been so inactive. I do not blame a single one of you but always me. So, here’s what I want to know because I want to put this out there - I’m seriously considering having one last blow out, letting everyone submit all the asks for every fandom, everything including scenarios, and then putting polycanons on permanent hiatus. Who knows - maybe I’ll get inspiration for this blog again but honestly, maybe not...I cannot be sure. I do know there are still fandoms I love and still want to write for and I’m thinking of opening up imagine blogs purely dedicated to those fandoms linked to my main blog and keeping things going that way.
