Hello all you wonderful people, it's certainly been a hot second since I've written. I think it's only fair I update you on current processes and things
first off I wanted to say this will be my 100th update in this book, which is honestly just insane, I have a very hard time believe there have been that many chapters and thousands of hours of fun writing to go along with it. it's been an adventure, and thank you for coming with me on it
I also wanted to thank all 62k-ish reads this has gotten, that's absolutely insane as well, it's crazy and thank you all for the incredible journey, hilarious comments, and constructive criticism along the way, it's really been a blast
onto other things, I am slightly older than I used to be, slightly wiser hopefully, and hopefully a little more than slightly stronger too. it's been an incredible adventure truly, however, sorta by last May I came to the realization that I have in fact finished my phase of adoring Sanders sides. I got into the fandom to connect with someone who I was growing apart with, and fell in love with the characters, and to be fair, they really got me through some really tough... crap.
despite that, the person I needed to connect with in that place and that time has grown, I have grown and we can connect upon different things. this phase of life is no less real or powerful than any other phase. it's a chapter, a long chapter, but I can't pretend that I can't keep rereading it, hoping it's not over, because, at least for now, it is.
writing sanders sides content in the way that fills this book no longer brings me the joy I started with, and that's okay. however that's where is started and it's fitting that's where it shall end. I can't keep pretending it makes me as happy as it used to. but it is okay
I do deeply apologize though, I read on wattpad long before I wrote and I know how utterly it sucks when an author just leaves a fandom, but... at the same point, it's okay too, things change grow and evolve.
I'm not completely leaving wattpad but shall probably be stopping, or at least pausing any writings for the foreseeable future, I'll still check in here and there, read through the comments, and such but I cannot say I'll continue writing without really lying to myself. I've seen the end of this chapter coming for a while but really wanted to put it into words.
I care about y'all very deeply, and please keep reading, creating, writing, commenting, exploring and really truly living life. I'm incredibly sorry to all those requests that never got written, to all those people waiting for part 2's, and for all the little cliffhangers, I implore you, write your own endings.
with all that said, and a pile of homework waiting for me that I've been procrastinating on. I must peace out
please remember you are loved and special, take care of yourself
and Have a Fantastic Day,
Gi, PeacefulLavender
