Who here would care if Blanked suddenly stopped updating?
No no, I'm not thinking of stopping. Of course I'm still going to be writing it. It's just that I've been very, very busy with a lot of things, most notably keeping up the Tumblr ask blog of my trademark OC, Ember Spark. I also do post random things in my Mod blog here. I do drawings on Tumblr for Ember's ask blog, so that's why I don't write much nowadays. I still will, just won't happen often, which explains why updates take such a long time with Blanked.
And this is one reason why I think I'm such a terrible writer, because I don't really upkeep my writing stuff even when I try to. I have way too many distractions, and I usually put things over other things in priority, and sadly, the more time passes, the lower the priority of writing goes. I don't want to stop, but I'm not exactly feeling up to doing it much either. It's... rather conflicting.
Though to be honest, even if people still read my story and like what's going on, I still feel like people really don't care if it continues or not. I've gotten things that say they like my story, and they want to see more of it, and that generally puts up my mood. Back then, it even gave me all the more reason to write in the first place, because it made me think people actually enjoyed a story of mine to want me to keep going. Well, the more I wrote it, the less I was feeling that. Why do I feel that way? I don't know, but I do. And it's rather frustrating feeling this way because I like to feel good, and I like to know that people care about me and what I do. But a lot of the time, it's like... why am I doing this? Does it matter? I like doing this, but do other people like seeing it?
If I knew the answers, I wouldn't be writing this now. But I don't. I put in a whole lot of effort into writing my stories, and it's extremely tiring for me to even write 1000 words. Does that make me a wimp? It probably does. Does it matter if I stress myself writing these things? Maybe, maybe not. I'm not the audience. Do I care what you guys think? Actually, I do. If you don't like it, well, it saddens me somewhat, but I try to get over it. If you do like it, then yaaaaay. Means I'm not a failure after all.
You guys aren't entitled to say anything about what you read. You can just enjoy and be on your merry way. Or you can take a few seconds/minutes to say a few things, perhaps even raise the mood/spirits of the author. But it would mean something.
Anyway, I'm done here. I just had to get this off my chest. Not even sure if you guys like Blanked enough to want me to continue. Whatever.
Also, I saw Rainbow Rocks today. So that happened.
Now I'm out.

I haven't personally read blanked, that sort of story just doesn't appeal to me sadly.
I have however read a lot of your other work and I have to say you have a unique writing style that I do love.
Your fics are well written and interesting and if you think you're bad because you don't get a lot done... Well I don't know where I was going with that sentence, but you're wrong!
Sometimes my favourite fic won't get updated for half a year, sure I get a bit annoyed but I understand that authors are people too, and then I just get excited that said fic is back :D
I consider myself a fairly decent writer, and for almost a year now I've planned out many fics, but haven't published a damn thing. So you're better than at least one other author out there so give yourself a pat on the back (or local equivelant) :)

Idk, I guess I'm just a bit self-conscious about these kinds of things. Luckily I have a friend who has my back with this kind of stuff, but I have to deal with a lot of stress, both with writing and everything else I do.
So far I have liked where you taken the aspect of what may happen if AB did get capture and the fallout on both her and the main 6. I would like you to continue the story at YOUR on pace. I can wait for the updates if you decide to continue it.
I too enjoy Blanked. Personally, I read too many stories that I'm somewhat reluctant to read. Blanked isn't one of those stories. I enjoy the flow, and I always read it immediately.
Not sure if this helps but just to let you know.
Sincerely,

I would care! I would care a lot!

Ok, well, good to know I have supporters. Makes wanting to write a bit better when I know even some people are still looking forward to what's to come. And I've come pretty far to just give up.
