Hey guys! Welp, if I’m making a post, you know it’s something. 😬
Before anyone starts getting worried, everything is fine! I am clearly alive and kicking, Stop Me is still available to read on fanfiction.net (Small PSA, fanfic.net is a SCAM SITE and NOT where I post my stories. Please click the direct links I share for Stop Me or look up ‘fanfiction.net’. I’ve had people tell me they go to ‘fanfic.net’, which is NOT 👏 a LEGITIMATE 👏 SITE. Thank you!), and I am still writing, if you can believe it! I’ve also had other things happen recently, too. I’m officially a published author with Dual Animal. I got a small teaching job and teach jewelry making now. Life’s gotten busy in the best of ways. Which means…
I will not be able to meet the deadline I’d been hoping for in finishing Stop Me. The date I initially had in mind is a painful but special one and, through realizing I’d be rushing to finish, I also came to the conclusion that Stop Me deserves to be completed naturally when it is meant, on a day that belongs just to this massive story. Which… brings me to another thing…
Behold a picture of the screen of The IPad! Yes. THE IPad. The iPad in which Stop Me was born. Most of you are very familiar with it. You’ll notice the chapter at the top that I just finished, Ch. 305. Let me know if anyone has done the math. 🤭 Aside from letting everyone know I broke 300 chapters, I wanted to show you all that I am trucking along and everything is coming together, and even though I have reached 305, the movie portion of Stop Me isn’t done. I’m probably not even half way yet, to be honest. Again, anybody got them math skills? XD I can confidently say that Act One of the movie has been completed and I’m more than half way done with Act Two, but Act Three aims to be long, strong and a beast. I’m excited to share it when it’s all done. … Which means…
What are my current plans? Well, deadlines move, but I’m adamant about one thing: I will be finishing Stop Me THIS YEAR. The goal has shifted, and the date that this story was originally made public was December 12th. I hope to complete Stop Me before then, power through the many edits I’m sure it’ll need, and have a lovely livestream conversation with all of you, my readers, who have been absolute stars through this whole journey, before posting the movie. Seriously, y’all make up a galaxy of a fandom around this story. I could not be more grateful and thankful.
I will continue to keep everyone updated as things solidify and progress. BIG! HUGE! THANK YOU! to those who have reached out to check in. The DMs, fanart, @’s, all of it, have been truly meaningful and I appreciate it.
We’re coming up on the ending of a great tale; I hope it’s all been worth it. Thank you all again for your kindness, patience, and support. :)
