I have gotten multiple of these asks in my inbox in quick succession, possibly from the same person, and I am very sick of it at this point because I have answered this question before many times:

NO IT IS NOT ABANDONED.

I am about to disallow all anon asks because these are the only ones I get anymore. Do you guys understand what is the fastest way to discourage a writer from ever touching their fic again? Constantly bombarding them about when they will update or if it's abandoned.

First off, I have real life stuff going on. I got a full-time job recently - that is why my updates slowed down so much. And even then, I don't need to explain myself for when updates don't happen quickly. I'm putting them out there for free. I don't set a schedule for them because, simply put, I can only write so often. I'm not gonna sacrifice my mental health by making writing, something I consider a fun pastime, into a second job.

Second off, as I have stated multiple times, I will make a post if I am putting a fic to rest officially. I have no plans for that any time soon - not even for 404. I am just taking my time with all of them so I don't burn myself out in this fandom.

I love all my readers. I appreciate all the attention people give my fics and how excited they are to see a new update, but you cannot come into my ask box constantly and make me feel guilty about the status of my fics. I will be deleting all of the other asks about this topic and will not answer any more relating to this topic.
