Way to fucking go, Meadowlark fandom. You fucked up another good thing.
To those of you who don't know, Keath has formally announced on all of their socials that they are removing COOPER AND QUEST from the Meadowlark storyline. They've done so because people have been sexualizing the two crudely and rather repulsively. Cooper and Quest are extensions of Keath's personality and insecurities, just like the Lark. Also, the Wonderfolk is largely made up of young people. So it's not just Keath you're disturbing and disrespecting; it's a lot of people.
Keath has stated that Sunwright may come back, but it's too soon to tell. And there shouldn't be any expectation surrounding it. Quite frankly, I'm very disappointed, but not in Keath. As a fellow author myself, I understand that they have to do what they have to do to feel safe and comfortable. I cannot speak for them in any capacity, but I can imagine they've probably thought long and hard about how this would affect every party, and it couldn't have been an easy decision to make.
So out of respect for their wishes, I shall not be posting anymore content relating to Sunwright. And yes, that means that "Return to the Cage" will most likely be discontinued. To those of you who brought this on, I offer only this: You all know who you are, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.
This is also probably a good time to tell you that I'll be going on an indefinite hiatus. This doesn't have anything to do with Keath's decision - in fact, it's been coming for a long time. I've been directing my passion into my own work, and it's made me happier as a person.
So to all my loyal followers: I bid you a conditional farewell and thank you profusely for your unwavering support and dedication. If you want to find me elsewhere, I shall be working on a series of my own known as 'Nevermore' (original, I know). Fern and Fortuna will be involved in that story; in fact, they’re the main characters. I can't promise you an official release date, but I shall work tirelessly to polish it to perfection. I thank you for your understanding, and I'll catch you on the digital page.
