Explanation and Plans · 11:25am May 5th
Hello!
As you have noticed, I have not been very active since finishing Piece by Piece in December last. There are reasons for this, but the gist of it boils down to the fact that I am (perhaps unsurprisingly) not very interested in continuing any of the stories I have - or had - planned out anymore. I'm not happy with this, but it is what it is, and I will not force myself to write stories I don't want to write.
So, going forward, what does this mean? Well, all current projects (Rising Sun, Mending Heart and Crystal Story) will go on a permanent hiatus. I have in the works a proper rewrite of Crystal Story, since I am unsatisfied with the currently existing story, but RSMH will likely never be finished, and for that I sincerely apologise. Oneshots and short stories like In Summer's Embrace may occasionally appear as the mood strikes me. Should you wish to read other works of mine, I have an AO3 account where I have some Tolkien stories. It will be linked at the end of this post. There is also my DeviantArt account, on which I post maps; this account will also be linked.
In many ways, Piece by Piece was my magnum opus when it comes to fanfics, I think. I doubt that I shall ever write something like that again, but you never know. I sincerely want to thank everyone who has over the past few years read, reviewed, liked, saved or shared my fics; it's cliché, but I wouldn't have written them without you.
Until next time!
