Fear Chapter Two...and other Updates (A/R)
Hey there, this is Syn'phasia. (While my legs are burning on this hot laptop, let me just give you a quick note.)
Before you read, please only read what you are interested in: Body Parts, Darkest Desires, Permanent Error, and Fear. All are bolded. I do not suggest you read this whole thing.
I will be updating Fear today. Please don't be surprised, as I did say that this would be irregular....
Darkest Desires, however, I am waaaaaayyy overdue. It was supposed to be done by the break of spring, and instead I still have not posted it yet. I have chapter eight done...but I have not even made a rough draft formation of chapter seven...I would say: "Hey, how about I update it at such and such a time?" Problem is, when I do that, I never make my deadlines. This is even more the case because I have tests and AP exams this and next month to prep for, not to mention any other...horrid...projects... so the short version is: consider Darkest Desires on hiatus for now. It isn't unofficial, since I might just put the bullet points I have into a paragraph, and a paragraph into a story, but that is highly unlikely. I do not think I will abandon it; no, let me rephrase that. I WILL NOT abandon it, and it WILL be up to date (chapter eight or nine) by this July or August. But for now, I need tests, and tests need me...not to mention that some of my teachers can be...well...they display their affections towards me in a very callous way. D:
Insignificant should be updated today or tomorrow. No, like, I am writing the explanation chapter that was due in March RIGHT NOW. So hopefully I get through that and my school work, and then I can post it at some ridiculous hour of the morning like I always do or late in the afternoon...and then after that... *snaps fingers* Insignificant is DONE and UNDER THE RUG. Now, a very talented writer asked me if I was going to make a sequel for this baby. The answer is a very open one: it depends all on you, my dear readers. Some people said they were interested because I was kind of open-ended with the story, others just took it at face value. If I do write another story, you gotta promise me two things:
1) Please don't badger me like a beaver about my story, and whether I will finish it. A PM once in a while is fine...but when I see the same person emailing me about it, it kind of gets old...I will finish anything I start, no matter how much time it takes. The only exception to that rule was Permanent Error, and I will be posting and updating a revised version of that on my AO3 account.
2) Please, please don't leave me out in the cold. If I write this story, it is solely, and I mean SOLELY for my readers. There is no 'me' in 'solely'. Anything is fine, but please just let me know once in a while that I am actually doing something worth while.
Body Parts...huh...that is the one story that has the most love...but no one asks about it. But anyways, Body Parts...is also on hiatus until I can update it. These two works won't be suddenly announced like, "Body Parts and Darkest Desires are OFF of HIATUS!!" I will update them at whatever time is convenient, and whoever notices, notices. It will not be announced anywhere; it will just start back up again.
The reason why I am putting this one on hiatus (although I only have a single chapter) is because of how perfect I want Body Parts to be. Yeah, I have school and tests and things that will determine my future...if not my whole life...but Body Parts is in no way prohibiting me from completing those things. Its more like this...Body Parts isn't just a suspense where we don't know what the hell is going on with Tsuna, and it isn't just a horror featuring some random dude in the beginning drinking a dead bird's blood...there is symbolism in everything, everything, even in the words that Tsuna tells his mother, and the actions that Tsuna takes. I told you that in the beginning of my story, yes?
I feel as though this fanfiction will lose some of its flavor if I update immediately under pressure. I can't just put some basic thoughts of the chapter in bullet format and transform it into a story like I do with Darkest Desires. I want you, my readers, to be presented with a time-sensitive mystery...a story that you will not want to let go for the world. And I know that sounds so cocky, so stupid, and so incredibly unrealistic, but that is what I want. That is why everything, and I do mean everything, has to have symbolism for something in the story.
This is why I have to think about what I write, and make sure that something connects to another. I am not sure if anyone has watched xxxHolic, but a good point that Doumeki Haruka (Doumeki Shizaka's old gramps) makes is that "everything has meaning...but to figure out what everything means is - and can be - overwhelming." But what if you had to? What if you were unknown to certain things, and you couldn't find the solution because of it? That is what I want...and I can't do that in a few minutes. I can't even do that in a few days or weeks. Add that to the fact that I do have work that needs to get done. That is why Body Parts is on hiatus.
I will say this as a final note (I hope you didn't read this entire thing...): All will be updated. And if you're worried or have some sort of problem or beef, contact me. I think I am nice enough (although I am sooo long-winded...)
