Notice of Hiatus

Hello!

As you may have noticed, after returning from all my fun work and school, I dipped out for a bit, and I want to explain it briefly. In my attempt to reread (and therefore get back into) RWYS, I found myself further away from my writing than when I initially wrote it. It's not that I dislike how it turned out, or even don't want to continue it, it's just I don't have the same motivation to write. I thought I did, but as it turns out-- eh, not so much.

I understand all of you were excited to have me back and believe me, I have loved reading all of your kind messages, asks, and comments, and I therefore don't want to leave you hanging and wondering why I haven't posted anything.

As of today (7/29/2024), all of my fics are on an indefinite hiatus until I get more time and/or motivation in the future to write for them. Ultimately, posting work that I feel like I half-assed or don't feel passionate about feels like a backstab to all of you, knowing how much love I had previously poured into my fics.

I want to answer any and all of your questions about my fics, including spoilers for the (so far) unwritten endings. Please feel free to send asks (rather than DMs so that all can read, but of course, I'm not going to bar you from contacting me directly) about anything, and I'll do my best to respond to them.

Before I add anything else on, thank all of you again for how much love I received in my time writing. I made so many genuine friends and had so many wonderful interactions, I cannot thank you all enough. To those who I talked to every day, to those who lurked, I wish all of you the very best.

Until next time :)

Hi Blnk! Hope you've been doing alright nowadays!

I have some things I've been wondering about two of your fics and I hope you can answer them for me.

I am aware you are hiatus but I would really like to know, do you plan on finishing RWYS or BITW in the near future?

I adore both works, and I was sad but understanding when I saw you went on a hiatus. I just really miss them. I hope you feel well enough to write again in the future!

Also, sorry if this is a rude thing to ask, but will there ever be any smut in RWYS or BITW? (If there is, then sorry, I haven't read them in a little bit so my memory is quite foggy. There is no smut tagged, so I'm assuming there's none)

Anyways, two quick questions about BITW:

1: Have you planned out how many chapters there might be?

2: Will we ever see a human Reaper?

Sorry for bombarding you with my few but many questions, and I hope you have a nice day/night! :D

Hello!

Don’t worry at all! I love love love asking questions and I come back to tumblr to mostly answer DMs, as that’s where I get many of my questions (I always recommend that people send me asks instead so I can offer all my followers an answer!)

For progress on both fics, I’m currently full time school and full time work, so my schedule is slammed, but I’ve had a handful of drafts for both series that I’ve been working on. When they will come out is still up in the air, but the hiatus on the works will hopefully be at an end soon.

(Summer is hopeful for me!!)

Smut will most likely come in RWYS (but won’t be as intense as a lot of other Ghost fics I’ve seen, as that’s not really how I characterize Simon), and may come in BITW. In full honesty, I don’t really wanna write Orca smut so if anything at all, it’ll be in their human forms.

For BITW I plan on about ten chapters (my outline accounts for nine aside from the epilogue). RWYS at its initial series planning was set for 10, which was brought up to 30, which now sits at about 65 planned (which may move up or down depending on how I choose to end the fic).

I do also plan to write Reaper’s human form! That is something coming very soon within the chapters.

Thank you so very much for the lengthy ask and all of the love, I truly adore the time and effort you put in both to ask and read!!

:)

Not a break from my haitus…

Hello!

It was just brought to my attention that AO3 has allowed Hugging Face AI to fully scrape their website’s public works for their program. Fortunately, I have made all of my work available for users only, but I implore you to spread the word as well as private your own works.

I know I have garnered a lot of love and support for my work in the past, but if I hear any mention of them possibly moving to private works, I will be removing my work entirely. I refuse to let my writing be used for AI training.

I doubt this will happen, but of course will let you all know on my tumblr beforehand if it indeed gets to that point.

For your love and understanding, thank you.

Fuck AI,

Love Blnk

another update on RWYS

With the current state of the world, I do not feel comfortable writing about military violence. In the wake of the current decimation of Palestine, I am in anguish and disgust at what is happening. The next few chapters will be heavy on that topic, and with that, I am not sure I can continue the series at this moment.

This does not mean RWYS is over.

As I understand that people enjoy it a lot, and I enjoy writing it, I want to continue it, but not yet. Not at this time.

Initially pushed back by my surgery and personal life, RWYS will be on hiatus until a more appropriate time. While I apologize for the latency as many of you have been very excited about the new chapter, I cannot bring myself to write about the military at a time like this.

To my Muslim, Palestinian, and Middle-Eastern followers and friends, words cannot describe how sorry I am for the state of the world. A ceasefire has (allegedly) been called for the attacks on Gaza, and will hopefully be implemented before anything else happens to the West Bank or Gaza. I pray that those who come out of the rubble remain safe and protected.

For those of us who are not in Palestine, the best thing we can do is to keep speaking about it. Keep educating yourself on the country's history, its food, its culture, its architecture, and its people.

Thank you for your patience.

update i am recovering from srugery i promise I'm not dead i am just hurting all over i love u guys i promise i will respond when i can

appreciate all the kind messages i am just unable to write a ton atm :)

[blnk338]

another blnkdate for u guys (im gonna start calling them that)

i am feeling so much better!! i had a rough landing due to the drugs i was prescribed (upchucked THREE TIMES!!! yowza) but I'm feeling a lot better! my surgery was on the first and i forgot to be like "ok I'm gonna go for a bit guys" and a lot of you were, rightfully, concerned.

im finally able to sit in a chair and not in bed, and generally i have improved

as an update for all of my fics, i will continue to be updating them as time goes on, and I'm not sure which will come first, however (next-updated chapter wise):

fangs and funhouses is over halfway done,

goodhearted gunman has not been started but may be started soon,

run spider run is partially started (outlined),

blood in the water is on a pause while i... figure out how to write a scene,

and reap what you sow will come back soon, as i believe a ceasefire is coming and biden is feeling pressured. please remember that hounding the white house with calls, emails, and texts, threatening to rescind your vote, and speaking up online is doing something!

im still a bit icky, but i am better :)

in other news, i am thinking about starting jjk so maybe some shorter fics will come outta that

love you all and thank you so much for your patience, your kindness, and your messages!

blnkupdate: i have a surgery date!!! :DD i don't want to give specifics but its very soon (within the next few weeks) and hopefully i will be feeling better and able to eat in about 2-3 weeks :)

a few fic updates:

rwys is still going! i promise it is I'm just very into one piece atm so I'm working on fangs and funhouses a lot; I'm also at a point in rwys where i have the first part of the chapter down, but am not sure how to end it

for the time being, blood in the water and good-hearted gunmen are going to be on pause. this is just until i can get a better handle on my health, schooling, and work :)

thank you all of your patience again, hoping the surgery goes well, and hope you're well!
