Hey guys.
I figured this post is long overdue, but better late than never…right?
Basically this is just an update on what’s going on with me and my future plans in terms of my writing. Most of you probably won’t like to hear what I’ve got to say, but I hope it doesn’t irk you too greatly.
Life right now is…beyond stressful. Things just aren’t looking so hot for me and my family at the moment and unless some things start changing really fast, we’re going to be in some deep trouble.
On a similar note, I’ve been neglecting my writing and it’s stressing me out because I feel bad for making loyal readers wait for a story that I started with an unspoken promise to finish. I haven’t completely stopped writing, but at the rate I’m going now, Journey’s End will never see its end.
Honestly, I think I’m coming to a point where I want the things I write to be original works that I could possibly look into getting published. I love writing fanfiction and writing for the DBSK fandom has boosted my confidence in myself more than I ever thought it would. But if all I ever do is write fanfiction, I feel like I’m never going to progress and grow in my writing.
Another thing, I’m not really following K-pop anymore. TVXQ was my main reason for being into K-pop and now that they’ve gone their separate ways, there’s not a lot holding me to the Korean scene. Now that my interest has started to slacken my inspiration and desire to write k-pop fanfiction has died a lot.
What all of this amounts to is…I’m not writing fanfiction anymore. I’ll still lurk on LJ and check back every now and again. If life cools down later on, I might come back and write again, but I might not. It just depends on how my future pans out. Call it a hiatus if you’d like.
I’ll be unlocking my journal and putting all my one-shots onto a PDF so that can be downloaded and kept by whoever would like them.
In terms of Journey’s End I really, really hate to leave the story unfinished, so I’ve come up with an idea. I’m going to give the story away. If anyone is interested in adopting Journey’s End I can write out my plot-line and give it to you, or you can take the story and do your own thing with it. If no one wants to adopt it, then I can write the plot line and post it for anyone that would like to know how the story pans out.
In terms of length, I hadn’t intended for it to be much longer. Possibly ten chapters, maybe less.
My ideal would be for someone who has already written fanfiction and has a writing level equal to or better than mine to adopt Journey’s End.
I’m sorry it took me so long to make this announcement, but I think I’ve been holding off hoping that something would change and I’d get back the fire I used to feel about writing fanfiction. Nothing’s changing and it’s wrong for me to leave you guys hanging any longer.
I don’t think I thank everyone enough for supporting me so wonderfully. Seriously, the awesome comments I’d received from my readers gave me motivation to write like nothing I’ve ever felt. You’ve all helped me to become more confident in my writing and to really strive to become better. The fact that my stories have impacted people or even made them feeling something, even if just a passing emotion, is the greatest prize I could every receive. I’ll cherish that feeling forever and I’ll remember the time I spent writing for the DBSK fandom forever. There are hardly enough words to for to express my thanks and all my gratitude still seems a paltry offering compared to what I’ve been given by my readers.
So there it is. Ask me questions if you have any. Forgive me if you can. Once again, I’m sorry.
