I know I’ve been pretty absent lately because of school, but I’m happy to say it’s almost over (thankfully).
I’m not entirely sure how to articulate this, so I’m just going to be blunt: one of my family members deleted around 40 of my fanfics I was actively working on, along with one of my school finals. This doesn’t even touch the chapters, story ideas, request drafts, or where I stored them—nor some of my (extremely) old fics. Altogether, this was months, and in some cases years, of accumulated work. Please do not ask why this happened, as it’s all rather personal and not something I wish to share.
I’m honestly very upset and pretty lost right now. I don’t remember exactly where some of these stories were going, and I don’t know where to begin in terms of rebuilding them or getting back to where they were before.
Because of this, I genuinely don’t know what comes next for my writing.
That said, I do still have about 3–5 requests saved elsewhere (thankfully) that are almost ready to be posted, and I will be sharing those soon, if not as soon as I originally hoped. However, this situation has taken a serious toll on both my motivation and mental health.
For now, I’ll be leaving requests open indefinitely. If and when I find the energy to write, I’ll be pulling from the request pool based on what I feel capable of working on at the time.
In the meantime, I’ll be slowly moving some of my older works over to AO3, so don’t be surprised if you start seeing them appear there. I may also start posting some short stories—I’ve wanted to do this for a while, and most of those ideas survived, so there should still be things to look forward to. Everything is going to be very sporadic, and you may only see updates a few times over the next several months, but thank you for being here with me through this journey.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. It truly means more than I can put into words.
