Blah, Blah, Blah

Okay, I'm going to put a short disclaimer before I begin the topic it hand: You are going to see a side of me that I typically do not show. I'm going to try to not be rude and simply state the fact but I understand that some may misinterpret what I will say. 

That being said. 

I absolutely love how people think that they have complete control over what content I put on my profile! (Please note: I am being sarcastic when I say this)

Now, in light of my recent decision to clean house (Remove half of my stories from my repitoir), some "concerned readers" have interjected their two cents saying "you should have warned everyone before you took them down" or "that was really rude of you to just delete them." 

*rolls my eyes* 

Excuse me for not checking with YOU before I made an artistic decision about MY story. 

*chuckles*

This honestly doesn't even upset me, it just annoys me. (I am not trying to be mean, I'm simply telling the truth)

I don't have to ask anyone's permission to: make a correction, edit, and/or delete my story. This was a decision that I wanted to make because, as an author, I felt that there was a lot of unnecessary stories cluttering up on my repitoir. 

Parhaps it was a bit rash to not warn anyone, but you know what? Whether I warned you or not it was still gonna be taken down. 

If you don't like it, then I'm terribly sorry to inform you that that is your own opinion and burden to bare. It's not my job to meet YOUR standards or try to fit YOUR view of what content YOU wanna read. If you'd like that, then you should write your own stories. 

These are MY stories. They come from MY brain because I think of them and sometimes I make a stupid decisions and post an idea before I actually stop and think about it. Me deleting my stories, is me fixing my mistake. 

(Side note: to be completely honest I have no idea what I was doing with half the stories I created. I simply thought they would be good ideas. Chalk it up to immaturity. From now on I'm going to actually THINK it over before I post it.)

Alright, I've said my peace, now I'm going to go to bed. Sorry for the rant but you know, things have to be straightened out and I'm tired of being ed at for a decision I made that will benefit not only me, but my readers in the future. 

Me stepping up and taking the initiative to correct what I did wrong will give me more time to focus on the stories that I've put dedication into and will help me produce better content in the future. 

And as for the squeals? I will not be doing them in the future. Those were simply done because I was trying to please my readers instead of myself. I understand you would like to see more, but some stories don't need more, some stories have an ending and that's where it should stay. So, in the future if I feel like I want to continue a story with a sequel or if I have left the ending open to continue with a sequel I will do so.

Okay, I really need to go to sleep cause it's nearly 4 AM. 

Thank you for reading this and listening and I hope my decision as an author will be respected.

You go girl! Writing is a hobby of yours (I assume) and you should do it for yourself. It should not feel like an obligation. You're writing because you enjoy doing so (again, I assume) and not because your readers want you to. Like you said, their YOUR stories and you have the right to do whatever you want to do with them, whenever. I often thank writers for not only writing the story, but also for publishing it, and this is why. Okay, and now it's me who has to go to bed, it's 1:30 am here and I have an exam with(?) my clarinet tomorrow. :3
