It's gonna be heart-wrenching, isn't it

I took the fic down.

It sucked and I felt like crying after I did it, but, to be completely honest, I’m moving on to a different part of my life where I want to seriously put all of my energy into achieving publication.

Which is where TSHOE comes in... I’ve been editing and re-writing the entire thing for a while now, with original characters and a lot of changes to the plot, and I’ve finally gotten to the stage of sending out query letters about it. Therefore, I decided to take the fic down because I didn’t want to risk a literary agent seeing something similar to this new novel posted online and then deciding that they didn’t want to endorse me after all.

I should’ve said something before doing that, I guess, but it was also hard enough just taking the whole thing off of AO3 so I didn’t really want to deal with a PSA as well.

That being said, I truly loved writing “these stars here on earth” and receiving all of the comments and messages about it only made that experience that much more amazing... you all have been unbelievably supportive so thank you for everything<3

Also, just because TSHOE is gone that doesn’t mean I’m quitting this blog. I have about four or five OiSuga WIPs in the making right now and I’m only planning on writing more... that includes another sci-fi long-fic that I’ve just started getting the beginning thoughts for, so keep an eye out for alternate universes and such...

There are a few different things to address here but I’m going to cut straight to the part that matters.

“I fully understand that writers write for themselves.” Writers do write for themselves. It’s what we love to do and what we love to share with an audience because we want to take something we’ve created and that we’re proud of and we want to say “I wrote that.” But, as fanfic writers, we don’t owe *anything* to *anyone* but *ourselves*. We write for free. I don’t get paid for this. No, I work an eight-hour job that leaves me just on the edge of passing out when I get home for that. And then I come home and I write — not because I’m getting paid, but because it’s what I’ve loved to do since I was little. It’s what I hold onto when things get tough. I write for myself.

That being said, I never take the support I’m given for granted. All of the feedback I get means everything to me, makes me feel like I do have the ability to be published, and only fortifies my intention to do so. I love my readers and I hold their support very close to heart because I take their opinions seriously and they only make me stronger as a writer.
