Haha... doesn’t matter how many times I say I have not abandoned Swept by the Tempest, it’s been so long people obviously think I have. I can’t write ON HIATUS big enough. The story is alive until I say otherwise, alright? I wouldn’t leave you hanging. I’m just the slowest, most incompetent writer in the world. I’m sorry, I really am trying!
Fanfiction writers have lives and other responsibilities, maybe they want to work on other projects or maybe they just need rest. I’m doing this for free, because I enjoy it and want to share it with other people who might also find joy in reading it. I truly envy those authors that update once or more times a week - I know I can’t. For multiple reasons. And you don't expect to go through so many bad months on a row but it happens, and you look back and it's been a year.
Don’t read this like an angry rant, please, I’m not blaming anyone. It’s more like a sad rant addressed to anyone in particular - to myself, mostly.
PS. I suppose it’s the flow of both old and new readers I expected to see checking out the story due to Guzma’s anime debut. And I know not everyone on AO3 checks Tumblr to read my posts. I totally understand why you ask, why you want to know. It just hurts a little bit, I guess, realizing how long it’s taking to finish it.
