I believe after three years my profile deserves a revamp. My goals before leaving this site are 1) To finish ASLWQ 2) Finish Behind The Shroud

I've grown very critical of my older works. I might rewrite some, but I reckon most of them are beyond saving...

Anyway, I'm really grateful for the experience (cringe-worthiness and all). It's good to see how much I've progressed and matured in my writing over the years since I first discovered this site.

And not forgetting my readers (whoever's left, I guess... I've been gone ages.): I adore your thoughts, and really do appreciate you reading my stuff and giving me your input. THANK YOU for journeying with me through my fanfics, for your support, and for putting up with my horribly irregular updates. You guys rock.

UPDATE

You people are most probably tired of my up-down updates. Honestly, I am too, but I just had to post this. Read at your own risk.

This is a closure of sorts for those out there who still care, and for myself, as well. It might be a little fragmented- I'm writing this mostly off the top of my head. *ASLWQ will be completed- it's the last chapter after all.

I said I would complete BTS, and believe it or not, I really really meant it. I have documents filled with that stuff- ideas, specific polished paragraphs, detailed plots, plans, etc. I'm just not so sure now. Yes, I know this is bad. I can't ever seem to make up my mind... I might decide on this today, but things might be different four months from now...

As the year comes to an end, I've been thinking even more so about life in general, and how I where I would see myself years down the road. How am I going to get there, etc. It's been four, almost five years since I first joined this site, and I would be blatantly lying if I said things haven't changed since then. A good number of the familiar faces that used to grace this fandom are gone, and as you've probably already guessed by now, I will soon be adding to that count.

When the new year comes around, I'll be mad busy- as would everyone else, I presume. I am already expecting sleepless nights just from school itself. Not to mention social life, pursuing interests, and having jobs here and there. As much as I used to love it, fanfiction, personally, just doesn't seem to have its place in all of this.

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't believe I have what it takes in terms of time and energy to continue with writing here anymore. The bad just about throws whatever fun I derive from writing fanfics off the map. Even if I do somehow manage to squeeze in time for writing, the product would be mediocre at best, or not what I'm satisfied with, and the speed of update would be oh-so-painfully slow.

Rather than drag on -like I already kind of have these recent years-, I have opted instead to make a clean break as this gap grows even wider with each passing year. Countless apologies aren't enough, I feel, but this is the best I can do.

Progression of stories

A Strawberry's Life with Quiche: Chapter 17 up!

Behind The Shroud: 1st and 2nd chapter posted.

More about the stories

I'm not going to write what the stories are about here- that's what the summaries are for. Rather, it'll be information I feel important enough to throw in. Dive if interested. :P

Behind The Shroud: Originally Crystallised Memories. Well has there been quite an 'emphasis' on this one, placed by me nonetheless... there's always a mention about it somewhere in my profile. Not because I think it's awesome or anything, but because compared to my other fanfics, the most thought, time(?) and effort went into this one. I'll probably post more information on this one, to anyone who might be interested.

Also, this is most probably my last fic before I leave the site. I am extremely determined to finish this regardless of reviews, -or if you want to get down to it- how many people are reading it. But having said that, reviews are love, and it really wouldn't hurt to leave one.

Deep Beyond the Swirling Waters: I roughly have the story planned out in my head, but doubt I'm going to continue this. Reason being it's another story to undertake, and I'm honestly not sure if I'm up to rebooting another old story. So unless it gathers enough interest, it'll remain as it is. Otherwise, yeah, I'll 'rewrite' the first few chapters (which won't take as long as CM) and continue on with it. It wouldn't be a full on adventure fic, but it'll be interesting to see how the characters come up, etc(?) in that universe. Admittedly, I already have a name in mind for this fic, if it were really going anywhere.

Indelible: I am really, really sorry to those who have shown an interest in it and are waiting for the next chapter. The truth is, I can't see past the next (half) chapter, and don't have any ideas on how to continue this fic. I guess that's what I get from starting a story like this on a whim, without at least thinking it through. If I do think up of anything, I might consider continuing it, but for now it'll stay discontinued.
