Author has written 40 stories for Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Bones, Glee, Vampire Diaries, and Harry Potter. 02/13/2012 Let me preface this by saying that my decision to leave Fanfiction, Twitter, LiveJournal and Tumblr for an undetermined amount of time has absolutely nothing to do with the TVD fandom. I still love the show as ardently as I did when I caught a glimpse of The Turning Point, and I sure as hell still love D/E as much as I did when I saw my first full episode, Rose. I still love all of you who love the show – I love you guys so much. This season has been absolutely phenomenal, and I love the show more and more every day. But unfortunately, I must say goodbye for the time being. This decision will probably come as a shock, but I’ve almost gone through with it several times in the past few months. The truth is, I’ve been struggling with depression for the past year or so. I’ve been in therapy for the past few months, and while it’s helped, I still have a long way to go. And I think it’s time for me to re-enter the real world. I want to start reading more. I want to start taking walks and doing yoga and baking. It sounds silly, I know, but I spend too much time scrolling Tumblr mindlessly. It’s more than that, though. I need to remember why I love writing again. Lately writing feels like a chore, and I hate that. I know my reasoning doesn’t make much sense, but I just need to take a step back, I think. I will of course complete the Spring Break Round Robin chapter I pledged to write, and I will probably occasionally write or something like that. But I won’t be around much besides that, and for that I am sorry. Many thanks to all of you out there, especially to Morgan, Elizabeth, Morgan, Bibi, Daisy, Jenna, Sar, AJ, Grazia and Michelle – I’m so lucky to have found you guys. This message goes out to anyone who has ever read any of my stories. Your support and kindness have touched me immensely. If you ever need me, any of you, I’m here for you. Love always, | |||||
