Aria is Coming to an end · 5:28am Feb 15th, 2017
I honestly thought I would be writing Aria for a very long time. I had planned out numerous arcs, and I planned to have at least 50 chapters, but now, it'll be lucky to have more than 5 additions.
It's been one heck of a ride. The story has had its ups and its downs, and it's gotten a lot of reception. Almost half of it is bad reception, but hey, at least I've named them all grumpy pants. That makes things better, right?
Aria was really my turning point in writing. It's when my writing took on a quality that it never previously had. The story had depth, character development, likeable characters, and an interesting overall feel. It's not that my previous stories didn't have that, but they were a little lacking in that department.
I tend to look at the downvotes on Aria and wonder if it was a mistake, but honestly, I can't say I regret it. It's just a draining story to write with not a whole lot of reward. It's one of those that kinda has to come to an end. That's not to say that I won't do anything around those characters anymore, or even in that universe, it just means that I won't be making that story a never-ending one. Of course, I had no delusion that it would just keep going on and on for as long as I live, but I originally wanted it to be quite a bit longer than it's turning out to be.
While the story has had its hate, what I really see at this point is how people have been affected by the story. I've gotten some very attached readers wanting to see what happens to Aria next. I have to say that I'm sorry you'll be missing that for at least a while when Aria is over, but please know how much your support means to me. Without you guys reading Aria, it wouldn't have gotten this far. I wouldn't have wanted to continue it to the point it is now if there weren't people reacting to the story and wondering what was going to happen next. So let me tell you, thank you. It's been fun. I've laughed, cried, smiled, and frowned. I've experienced emotion I never could've had I not done this story, and that tells me that it was not a mistake. It was a wild success.
So thank you. Thank you to all the lurkers on the site, looking for something different to read but never responding. Thank you to all the grumpy pants that left downvotes with no comments on the work. Thank you to all the readers who dedicated their time to immersing themselves in the imperfect, incomplete world the story takes place in. And thank you to the readers who have decided to stick with me until the end. It's been a wild ride, and it's finally coming to a stop. Thank you for keeping it going for so long.
That's a shame, it was one of my favorite stories and so relatable in some ways.
4423325 Well, it was going to end sooner or later. I didn't end it before because there were enough people enjoying it, but there's almost as many people who don't like it
