hi! to nobody’s surprise, i went over the wordcount in curious cat to answer this question, so, i’m answering it here.
short answer: i'd love to. long answer (seriously, i've had this typed out for a while):
i hope that i've always been clear about my stance in regard to the system: how i've seen it, in multiple instance in my personal life and also in a broader sense, be self-serving. how i have personally and systematically been effected is something that i've always hoped to share because i'm not alone in that. i don't believe in the system and i want to make a statement of that through writing.
situations in all my stories come from my own awareness, and thus, transform into commentary on the predicaments i'm seeing around me. the situation in my country specifically, and its system, is not new. above all else, i always want to be respectful. even if i'm still writing graphic, explicit things, i want to be careful - not in terms of censoring, but in terms of having the awareness that these situations are real and the effects / damages of them are very, very real.
i take this respect so seriously that when i decided to go back to school this summer and i needed an elective, i chose criminology in order to better understand how i can transfer the information properly and with care in mind in my stories. seriously, i have really, really battled with this behind the scenes. of course i wanted to better understand the system in general, but giving commentary on it in my work was a big part of why i chose that elective.
with the state of the system and learning even more about it, i promise that i've never had more to say about it. i intend to always do so regardless of the medium, but of course, writing is a big outlet for me.
i have already changed a lot of the plot for chasing the dragon. what you think might have happened probably isn't what actually happened, but i looked over every single detail to ensure i could get the message across in an even more respectful and concise way. the changes don't censor / hide the original message; it's all in the name of hoping to be sensitive. it's hard to put into words, what i'm trying to say, but - having your readers be effected by angst is completely different than portraying a real-life situation that is so horrible, you can hardly believe it's real. that's just the state of the system.
i intend to get the same message across with intense awareness of care and thought, but onto the next thing -
ok like. i'm super anxious about sharing this and i’m about to start repeating myself a lot so, my bad. it feel stupid. please, please don’t get offended by this because i’m not referring to hits or kudos or comments or anything like that - only my own anxiousness. i know ewoatt is my most popular work but i'm just being honest when i say i'm not sure people even want it anymore. it's been a good while since the first installation of the series and i only posted two chapters of the sequel. i would LOVE to continue the series and i have been even though nothings been posted. i mean it when i say the series was ALL i thought about while i had covid because the thought of sharing new developments made me that happy. but ewoattverse takes a lot of work and it's hard to dig that deep. i'm sure it's a lot to keep up with as a reader. i don't know if people are willing to re-learn all that information and plot for the sake of the sequel. i've thought of many fun ways i can summarize and make it easier to cram everything lol but yeah.
so, i'd love to continue it, but i'm anxious because it's been so long. i've got so much ready that i've just been too nervous to share in the name of "do ppl still want this". i understand that might sound dumb and i'm repeating myself a lot but that's just because i'm like. super nervy about this lol. not the material of the work itself but whether or not it's something ppl still want. it's just something my brain has decided to be anxious about and i just have to deal with that. thank you for reading all that, seriously. i hope everyone is well and staying safe.
