Announcement
Hello everyone! (cue throwing of rocks, tables, frogs, and toasters)
The reason for this post is the number of people emailing me about my fics and the fact that these said fics still get some comments. I feel really happy and crappy at the same time. When I started these fics, I did not have any intention of abandoning them or leaving them as long as I have. So the question you're all asking me, am I ever going to continue my stories?
It is not a simple yes/no. Here's the thing (and I am being completely honest in saying this), a lot of things have happened both to me and PATD. I have graduated from univ and now have jobs. Being busy and time constraints really haven't delayed me this long but I guess the bigger obstacle to updates came with the loss of happening in the fandom. As a writer, I draw my energy from inspiration... and that inspiration have been running low. I have the 32nd chapter half finished and has been sitting on my computer all this time but I just can't quite finish it.
Right now, I went back to reading anime fanfiction. I think I'll be writing some anime fic soon after being on hiatus for like... 3-4 years?
I recently opened my email for my LJ account and your emails and comments made me feel really guilty for being away for too long. I reread the last chapters of my story and I think (with no certainty) I'd be able to continue it. But the problem still stands, Ryan and Brendon do not give me inspiration anymore. I've created their character in my stories completely different from their true persons but essentially, they are my versions of Ry and Bden.
I can continue in a completely different perspective though... like as a writer and not a fan, and draw inspiration from somewhere else.
So yeah, I'm really sorry for having to keep you wait all this time with no updates. But now, I need your help to get me writing again. I don't really know what I'm asking of you, maybe comments or PMs, because those occasional reminders really get to me, but maybe just your understanding. I can't put something out there, say a chapter, if I know it's written half-assed and I personally don't like it. Maybe you can give me more prompts on my story prompt post? I don't really know. I haven't given up hope for this so... a little encouragement will be greatly appreciated. :)
