What is happening with STQPA?
Hi all! I've gotten quite a few comments and messages asking about STQPA, and I want to have a conversation about it, because I feel bad leaving people wondering what's going on with it.
The next chapter is still about 3/4 the way done, as I mentioned a few months ago - but, unfortunately, it might stay that way for awhile.
Not gonna lie, I had the wind taken out of my sails about halfway through writing the next chapter. I don't like to talk about negative things on my blog, but I will say, a large part of what made writing hard was the amount of discourse and drama happening within the fandom.
Even before all the horrible stuff with the creator came out, I was struggling to be as excited for GO as I have in the past. There is drama in every fandom, but I've been in the GO fandom for a long time - since I read the book in my teenage years - and I've never seen it like this. The amount of change that happened within the fandom, especially after the 2nd season, really took me aback. Most of it was good, I will say! I don't want to discredit all the amazing, wonderful people I have met since writing for GO. But the bad was bad enough to take me out of it.
And then when all the stuff with the creator did come out, that really dampened my already waning excitement. Not to mention, I've had some people that were, and still are, really, really angry at me for how long of a wait there was between chapters of STQPA, which has not helped.
This isn't to say I'm giving up on STQPA. Its one of my favorite stories I've ever written, and I still have all my ideas written down and ready to go when I feel ready. Maybe I will be in a couple months, maybe I will be once the 3rd season comes out, but as of right now I need some time.
Thank you, and I appreciate all he kind words that have been left for me over the last year or so. All the friends I have made while writing for GO have been amazing, and even if I'm distant from the fandom for a little while, I still love you all <3
