Hey guys, Ruthim345 here, or, well, I suppose Alex works just as well.

It’s late as hell, and I should likely be asleep already, but I wanted to share a few words with, whoever is still reading these things. I’ll be posting the second part of the synopsis soon, but I wanted to get this out first. This, little moment of transparency.

But firstly…

Thanks. 

Thank all of you, from those who read this story and enjoyed it, to those who saw it as how I saw it. A fairly average story, from a fairly average guy.

I’m sorry I cut its life short, and while I tried to resurrect it with Block by Block, the feedback I received showed that, despite my best effort, A Crafter’s Dream as a whole would never be what I’d wanted it to be, not working by myself, as an already fairly average writer. Dialogue always felt forced or OOC, action was too fast or didn’t make sense, and the lore I tried building had so many plot holes, if you shined a light through it, it’d look like the nights sky.

Which is why I’m grateful that there were so many of you who were able to look past all of those mistakes and saw what I never could see: a great story, put in the hands of a high schooler who didn’t have half the writing skill necessary to back it up.

I’m sure most of my followers are dead accounts or are accounts that haven’t logged on in years. Hell, I haven’t written anything on this site in years. But for those of you who are still around. I’d like to ask you for a favor.

Just…let me know you’re still here, eh? For old times sake.

Signing off,
-Alex
