Life Update

My dad passed away on May 24 with my mom at his side.

The past week and a half has been tough getting used to the fact that he's gone and making adjustments at home. We plan to have his funeral at the end of the month so that way family has time to travel and give time before and after to spend time with each other.

On top of all of this, I've gone back to college to leave the teaching world behind. I wish my dad was able to see me start as he was so proud of my decision to get my life going in a better direction.

Work on And You Thought Things Were Over is extremely slow going, but still happening. At this rate, I anticipate returning to posting mid-July, late August at the latest. It all depends on how I feel and how big of a chapter buffer I can build.

Thank you to all the sweet messages that you guys have sent and thank you for giving me space.

And You Though Things Were Over going on hiatus...

Back in Janurary...my father was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. This is a cancer you can't beat back into remission, only delay the inevitable. He was given two life expectancy options...maybe 3-7 months with no chemo or maybe 1 year with chemo.

He chose the chemo and it seemed to be helping for some time. That is until about 3 weeks ago when his body started having major issues that sent him in and out of hospital. 2 weeks ago he was checked into the hospital where the doctors operated trying preserve function in his organs to improve quality of life.

It helped a bit but no where near enough. And the worse news, the chemo was loosing its effectiveness and his body was in no condition to continue any form of chemo treatment.

After speaking with his doctor and my mother last night, my father has made the decision to enter palitive/hospice care until he reaches the end of his life.

We don't know if that will be 2 weeks or 2 days...but he's going soon.

I'll be going on hiatus so I can focus on my family, especially my mother who is losing her husband of 40 years...41 if he somehow makes it to the end of June.

Once funerary services take place and all affairs are settled, I'll return to posting chapters but I have no timeline for when that will be so please be patient with me as my family goes through our grieving process.

Thank you all for supporting me during this time and being willing to wait for my return. I might put stuff on tumblr but I'm not promising anything until everything has passed.

Edit 5/24- My dad passed away this morning. Please be respectful as my family goes through our grieving process.

He would fit right in with the light music club

I saw the art posted by Orchidbluexghostbaby and binge read your Infinity Stones AU in one night. I was vibrating, couldn’t stop smiling, and cackling at the idea! Now I’m here to ask, if you don’t have too much on your plate, to please continue 🥹🙏

I really want to myself. Maybe restructure is so there is a bit more of an ongoing plot but I did enjoy the more episodic blurbs I wrote.

How Tony sees the Yu-boys 🤭

Discovered another wonderful crossover from @lazella while waiting for AYTTWO to come back and it's also a masterpiece too 😲💖

[lazella]

OH MY GOODNESS! The Infinity Stones AU!!!!!!!!

Man...I need to revisit that sometime in the future.

[lazella]

WE'RE BACK BABY!!!!

And You Thought Things Were Over is back on AO3!!!

Thank you to the volunteer staff at Ao3 for responding to my inquiries quickly so that the whole situation was handled in a timely manner.

Next chapter will be posted this Friday on schedule.

Is AO3 going to give your story back? Because this complaint is one of the dumbest wastes of the Admins' time. The only time I had to technically "report" a story was to roundabout way to report a comment from deleted account on a fic I read, a comment that said some horrible things just because the story mentioned a ship they didn't like.

The email I got said there was a 7 day waiting period to remove the comment and link I had regarding my kofi account. I did that within five minutes of the fic being hid and emailed them back but I have no idea if they will release it sooner or if I have to wait out the 7 day waiting period.

I'm not sure if the reporter knew if this was the consequences as if they just left a comment, I would have removed it and the whole thing would have been done in five minutes instead of a week and getting the admins involved.

The reason why the kofi link was even there in the first place was because I had no realized that it was against TOS and I had just separated from my now ex-husband and was desperate for income as I needed to cover living expenses and get funds for a divorce attorney. I had forgotten the link was even there as I am financially in a much better place now.

Sorry for rambling but in short, a little bit a grace and mercy would have avoided a lot of heartache

“Our lord is pleased!” Judai cried out joyfully, “I shall live another day!”

Based on the omake scene from ch. 109 of AYTTWO 😆

For that one request from ao3 and for lazella bc of what happened (I hope they read that email and resolve the issue soon) 🙏

[lazella]

To this day, I am so glad I included Maximus in the fic

[lazella]

Sorry that happened to you, and I hope admin reads that email soon.

I hope so too. Honestly...I'm more upset with the complainer than A03. The complaint was on a chapter from over 2 years ago. They could have just left a comment explaining what I had done and I would have fixed it in 5 minutes. Instead I could be without my work for a whole week. The lack of grace is what hurts me the most.

[lazella]

So if you can't find And You Thought Things Were Over on A03 and are panicking, do not worry. It was hidden by an admin because someone sent a complaint regarding my mention of my old Ko-fi account I made in chapter 35. I went and deleted the sentence and emailed AO3 back that I made the change but it might be a whole week before they remove the lock. It certainly gave me a scare and I was worried that I would lose my entire work if I had not seen the email as their policy if nothing is done, the work is deleted.

I hope they see my email soon and remove the lock so that you all can reread to your hearts content and I can update this week on time.

And if you are the individual who sent the complaint, just comment/message me next time. I will not be offended by the action. There are many ways fix issues without getting admins involve straight away.

[lazella]

Today's chapter of And You Thought Things Were Over will be delayed a bit. My poor beta reader had a massive migraine that needed and ER visit. It should be up this afternoon.

[alizacoleenselibio-blog]

Full Throttle!!

It's Go, Cosmos!
