I've just read your fic Your True Name Is on FF and Ao3. Then I noticed it hasn't been updated since 2017. PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT DISCONTINUED!!! IT'S TOO AWESOME!!
Okay, so... this is gonna be awkward to reply to because just a few posts down this is my announcement that I aināt giving up. XD
However! Youāre right, itās been 3 years since the last update and jesus christ has it really been 3 years??? Iāve just been quietly watching this fic gather more and more hopeful readers and not even reply to any messages so I could surprise you all, but I donāt think I can go on any longer and not say something concrete just to be real with you.
Okay, so the bottom line is that the status ofĀ āYour True Name Isā is... uncertain.
Very uncertain.Ā
Very very uncertain because I am still writing Chapter 3 UUUUUUUUGH
Iām not gonna bore you with all the details of the past three (three!!!) years. Basically, ever since I started with my thesis, I havenāt been keeping up with BNHAās manga or anime at all. Youāll notice it on my list of published fanfics; I even started another multi-chaptered fic for another fandomāone that gripped me for months during my last two years in college and eventually became the center point of my own undergraduate thesis. XD
After graduating, I pretty much delved into other hobbies and fandoms for a year. Even once I finally got hired, I didnāt get to come back to BNHA at all (psst I got into the MXTX novelsā fandoms for a full half-year just reading all the good fics). So at the moment, I am very disconnected from the fandom and the current story indeed. I wasnāt even here when the NSFW ban happened...
I wouldnāt mind having a long refresher course of watching the anime in order to continue Chapter 3, but at the moment, Iām not feeling the passion to do so. Thatās whatās always so hard about writing for me, especially with multi-chaptered fanfics: once I lose my groove, it can be highly difficult to just sit down and write. This is why I am now actually gravitating towards creating one-shots insteadāthat, or just keeping WIPs to myself first until Iām actually nearing the end of the story.
This is currently my situation: Iām busy with work (9 hours every day, from Monday to Saturday, thank god for weekends) but the rest of my free time is mostly dedicated to my hobbies. I am not actively writing fanfics at the momentāmy hobbies tend to circulate and I hyper-fixate on them for months at a time, so one moment, Iām into reading manga, and the next, Iām playing a game for several days. You may have seen that my Liked posts section is hella activeāyep, during these three years, I got into playing Food Fantasy, watched a few anime shows, and all that.
I just didnāt fully come back to Tumblr and start reblogging stuff because it felt awkward to be active here when Iām not even posting a new chapter, and still keeping you guys very frustrated with the cliffhanger. XDDD
Segue but I canāt believe I missed @incorrectknb closing down last 2019 GODDAMMIT I HAD SAVED UP SO MANY POSTS AND MY LAZY ASS DIDNāT SUBMIT THEM
This is already getting too long so Iāll just wrap this up quickly:
Your True Name IsĀ
Status: Uncertain. Donāt wanna say itās fully on-hiatus...
However, Iām half-afraid that itāll end up like my KnB highschool AU fic bc...
GHSR (Kuroko no Basuke fic)
Status: Discontinued...
Half of the numerous things Iāve planned for this, Iāve never even jotted down. I had no clear goal of how each chapter would go unless I was ready to write them... Not a good habit...
Yep, to any readers of my KnB highschool AU fic, Iāve finally confirmed it. Not even sure if youāre actively waiting for the next chapter (because jesus this one stopped at 2016!), but I donāt know what to do with it anymore and Iām actually working on other fics for that fandom (still multi-chaptered but focuses on one ship each instead so it doesnāt get convoluted). For my BNHA fic, I still do want to continue because I havenāt forgotten how much Iāve enjoyed crafting the Secret Child AU. However, expect now that updates for it will really be few and far between. :(
Shoutout to some people whoāve sent me non-anon messages but I donāt think I got around to answering them: @jaysfandomcorner, @kateitron, and also a shoutout to @theywaitforshewho, who was the first to admit that yes, my fanfic is probably deadābut also proceeded to recc it to their list of cool BNHA fics. XDDDDDDD Sorry, my friend, for not replying. Wanted to surprise yāall with an update but... well.
Okay, thatās all I can say for now. After this post, you may see me reblog some overdue stuff and reply to some other asks not related to YTNI. For real tho, guys, you have no idea how much it gladdens my heart to see you so excited and amazed at what I wrote.Ā āYour True Name Isā is my most popular work in both AO3 and FFNetāand all because I tried writing the one AU we have always been waiting for. Every now and then, I see notifs about people liking and favoriting it. I will try my best to get back into its groove!
For now, however, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support! You guys rock!!! ^u^bĀ
