That aside!! How's everyone?! Gosh, you don't know how much I miss you all. I've been juggling my studies, real work (transcription) and part-time work (translator/English proofreader for a startup translation company here in Davao).
Needless to say, I'm very tired and stressed. Happy? I don't know, but my family and I are getting by. That's always a good thing, right? ♥ Sorry for posting this on
tesshi, but I figured that this journal reaches more people than my private one. ^^;;
Anyhow... the reason why I'm making an appearance now... is that I'm really grateful that I am still receiving comments from new and old readerships. I'm touched to learn that there are still people who read them, or re-read them even!
Looking back, I think that my writing style was too naive, and just "ugh" in general. My plots weren't as well-structured compared to other writers and I didn't have the perfect grammar... but I can definitely say that I poured my heart and soul to those stories and I'm glad that I wrote them.
Making friends through my stories was one of the best blessings I've had doing this. I may not be able to name all of you now, but every person I met through LJ made an impact to my life. Some came and went... while others stuck with me! ♥
It hurts my heart to say this... but I don't think I'll be writing anytime soon. I've been trying really hard but I know that "Akame Fandom" is already dead. Trying to revive it seems to be cruel, not just to the pair, but also to me (as a writer) and to their fans. I know it's just fiction and fantasy, but... gah, I can't fully explain myself as to why the fandom is already dead to me. Is there anyone of you who still read Akame fics, I really wonder?
There are people who have sending PMs, asking if they can continue my ongoing stories... please, don't. I really appreciate it but they're my babies as naive/uncool/ugh/gross as they are.
Let me tell you something though--- I'm not yet giving up on them because finishing them is something that I really want to do. Just not now. I don't want to write something, especially ending my ongoing fics and ending them halfheartedly, just so that I am able to write something. I'm not that type of person. When I do it, I want to make sure I do it right.
So I'm wondering, in the event that I do continue my fics, I wonder if you would still want to read them? I'm asking because I want to know whether I should be putting effort on something that's going to be for naught or put my energy into doing something else and get results for it... *dies*
Sorry for dropping this weird question to all of you. I'll be happy to hear your thoughts about it. :) In any case, thanks for taking time to read this!!
