Hey! I really love your fic (YNWC), will you still update it?
xx
Hi! Thank you for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed the fic.
So, I made an author's note in part 17 about this, but I know not everyone reads every chapter. I put a lot of pressure on myself to write this fic. Basically, I took on way more than I thought I could handle. I was getting lots of requests and because I am a major people pleaser, I was saying yes to everyone without actually coming up with an idea. It felt like the chapters were basically being slapped together, and it felt like it wasn't really quality work. I think I burnt myself out cuz I've also been having trouble writing anything since this story. So, there was that, plus some other stuff that I'm not going to get into because its personal. But, because of all that, I decided to stop updating the story. I have some requests that I really liked and I was inspired by those, so if I ever suddenly think about writing this fic again without wanting to cry, then I might update the AO3 post. I know I posted an update in March, but that's because someone close to me gave me that request and I wanted them to have something special for their birthday, and I even kind of struggled with that.
I'm sorry if this post comes off as a personal attack, because it's totally not. I have been getting messages, like, once a month since I slowed down on my updates and I've been ignoring them or not just being straight up about the situation. I've been going back into each chapter, writing that the requests are closed, rather than putting a hard complete label on the story. And I mostly do that because sometimes i do get randomly inspired to update. For instance, i wrote a one off Stella Gibson fic, finished it and posted it. Then three years later just randomly added a chapter two. So it's not...completely out of the realm of possibility that I will update, I just don't know when that inspiration will come back to me. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it never does.
so, tl;dr, I will not be updating this story. If I find the inspiration to write it again, i hope it will be a pleasant surprise for everyone (including myself lol), but I am not making any promises as to when that will be. I'm sorry, and I truly appreciate you and everyone else who read this story and enjoyed it. Cordelia is a beautiful character, and its a shame she doesn't have her own show tbh. I appreciate you for reaching out <3
