"Author"

Hey gems,

I want to talk about something important regarding my first book, "Revenge."

I started writing it when I was around 13. At that time, I was very immature and heavily influenced by the kind of fanfictions I used to read. I genuinely thought that writing in that style was normal because so many others were doing the same. I didn't fully understand the weight of certain themes or how problematic some elements actually were.

As I grew older, now that I'm almost 17...I've started to see things very differently. When I look back at "Revenge,"I honestly feel embarrassed. Not because I wrote something, but because I didn't fully understand what I was portraying. My mindset has changed a lot since then, and I no longer support or normalize content that feels wrong or harmful.

When I was originally writing the story on Wattpad, I never planned for it to have a happy ending. But many readers pushed for one, so I changed parts of the story, removed certain explicit and forced elements, and tried to reshape it. Even then, the response wasn't what I expected. Some readers were attached to the original version and didn't connect with the changes I made.

Later on, I decided to delete the story from both of my accounts. One of the major reasons was that people were copying my work without giving credit, which was really discouraging. At that point, removing it felt like the right decision for me.

However, after I took it down, I started receiving a lot of messages on Instagram and YouTube asking me to bring "Revenge" back. I truly appreciate the love and attachment you all have shown for the story...it means a lot to me.

So here's what I want to say clearly:If I bring "Revenge" back, it will not be the same.

I would rewrite it from the beginning, with a more mature perspective, better storytelling, and a healthier approach to sensitive topics. The plot, characters, and overall message will be improved and handled more responsibly.

I understand that some of you may miss the original version, but I hope you can also understand my growth as a writer and as a person. I want to create something I can be proud of, something that reflects who I am now, not who I was at 13.

So please be patient with me. I will bring "Revenge" back...but this time, it will be a better story, with deeper meaning and stronger writing.

Thank you for staying with me and supporting my journey.

Love from Anne 💗.
