![]() Author has written 25 stories for Phantom of the Opera, Labyrinth, and Star Wars. This account is on a hiatus. This is because I’m going to be doing missionary work for my church for the next year and a half to two years. Depends. I don’t start for another four months or so, but there’s a lot of work between here and then that need to happen, and I just don’t have the time to write fanfiction. I won’t be writing fanfiction during my mission either. There’s no rule against it, but they ask that we remove distractions from our lives and focus solely on Jesus Christ during this time, and I think that fanfic, unfortunately, has to go. However, that brings up some promblems. I’m not sure how interested I’ll be in fanfic after I get back from my mission. I know one of my cousins used to be a huge Star Trek fan before she went and now that she’s back, she still likes it, she’s just not crazy about it anymore. When she got removed from all the kurfuffle she came back more level headed and grownuppish. I do have my doubts about this happening, because I like writing just in general and I have a feeling that I’ll get back to writing after my mission. And honestly I enjoy writing fanfiction more than I like writing fiction. So we’ll see. But there is also another problem. So, all the stories I currently have going take up slots in my head, and they bounce around in my head and form themselves into nice stories for me to write down when I have the time. When I don’t think about them, they stop bouncing, and eventually the slot gets filled. So what happens when I just stop alltogether? I don’t know. It’s never happened. But I do know that it will make coming back to stories and finding them interesting to write difficult. Which presents ANOTHER challenge. I don’t like not finishing stories. I hate it when I find a really good fic that’s been abandoned since 2015 and I just know I’ll never know what happened. I swore to myself I’d never do this. I’d always finish a fic. I’ve always been pretty persistent about powering through fics. But right now I definitely don’t have the time for that. The Death of the Republic isn’t even a quarter way done, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it before I went on my mission but I did it anyways. Because I just… I… argh. Not my brightest moment. So here’s my master plan for what I’m going to do to manage my fics- There will be no more updates for The Death of the Republic. Buuuuuut I will be fixing a few things for the story, and then adding a chapter with my plans for how the story would play out and continue, so at least you’ll know, even if I never finish it. I hesitate to invite anyone else to write it, because I think its one of my better story ideas and I really want to write it, but let’s just say that if there haven’t been any updates in 2-3 years you are free to finish the story. You can even advertise it in the reviews. I may even link your story in my story because I can promise I’ll at least log onto here a couple of times when I get back. There will be one more Star Wars fic coming out before I go, it’s almost done, just being edited. It’s roughly twenty thousand words and six chapters. (It will also push me over the 400,000 word mark on this website let’s gooooo.) A Crystal Ball is almost done. It just need about 2-3 more chapters. I will actually be trying to finish this one! Especially because I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen from here on out. I think I can do it, especially once my job finishes up. It’s been fading away my brain for ages, but I’ll take a couple days and read through the whole thing to get my brain going again and power through. |
