Deactivation

I've been trying to reach out to you guys more recently but I guess it's not working as well as I thought.

So yes, I've actually considered deactivating my account and discontinuing all of my stories. And with all of the drama and childness that's been happening on this site... I don't know anymore. AFF has started to change and I'm not sure if it's for the better. It's hard replying to every story comment but do know I read every one.

However, I'm also here to make friends. I did meet some awesome people but I've lost touch with many of them. It seems like some people see me as just a source of entertainment and don't want to take the time to really talk to me. I try to approach some people but it's easier if I get approached first sometimes. Add in the whole feeling under-appreciated thing and you've got a mess. This might be a phase but who knows. I'll see how I feel later. Thank you again for those who wished me a speedy recovery and all of that. I know it's common courtesy but it means a lot.

Author-nim, I'm of no major influence to tell you what and what not to think, but I'd just like to say that, while your stories are absolutely AMAZING, there are people who'd love to just talk about things other than your stories, and more about getting to know you as a friend (I'm one of them). It's completely up to you, and we'll support you whatever you choose to do ^^
Fighting!

Hey dear I just chanced upon your stories and I genuinely hope you don't give up on this place because it would mean that AFF will be losing one more awesome writer. Hope you stay. Really. xx

authornim.. i'm in no position to ask you to stay on aff.. ultimately it's your choice and i will respect whatever decision you make. truly you are one of the most talented authors i've come across on this site with go away mr idol easily becoming one of my all time favourites!!!! i get super excited whenever you update and i reread each chapter like at least twice to really digest everything.. your story is just that awesome. even this morning when my major exams was about to start in less than an hour i took a break from panic-studying to read when i saw your update. anyway, whatever happens i will fully support you.. thank you for all the updates thus far, godspeed and HWAITING!!! <3

i go to sleep every single day after logging in to AFF just to see if you've updated... No matter the time or if i have to wake up early...
You've quickly become one of my favorite author!!
In the end of the day, it's your choice, and with whatever you choose, it's okay :)
But just so you know, we're all here to support each other!! Fighting!! Hoping for a speedy recovery! I understand what you're going through (i myself am also recovering from torn ligaments)

I'm not going to be selfish and tell you to not deactivate because it's your decision. I've always been a silent reader (I'm not even going to lie), only on rare cases where I really lost my mind or I really,really,really like the story then I will comment something or upvote the chapter/story. However what I'm going to tell you is to write for yourself, not for others. If you enjoy writing and want to do it, then do it! You don't need others approval to do something. I did try writing before (I've wrote drafts and posted a few on wattpad but then deleted it because I was either too ashamed of my story or it was not going well.), it wasn't am easy thing to pull off. I had A LOT of ideas but sadly, I didn't have enough passion for the story to develop and continue it. If you have the passion, go for it! No one's stopping you. It's to ask for guidelines and opinions to improve your story BUT it is NOT good for you to change your story or plot to please others. REMEMBER, you started writing because of yourself, not others!

Whatever happens, it's what you wanted. I'll be lying if I said I wasn't sad if you deactivated but hey! I'll remember you and your stories because they're one of my favourite on AFF! Lastly, there will be people who'll support you no matter what you choose. Hold on, whether you deactivate this account or not, online and in real life. It might not always be the best times but there'll be better times. Happiness can't and won't exist without sadness. "Sadness is not temporary nor it's eternal, so is Happiness." -a quote from my friend, J.

I truly can't imagine me not reading your fics. I come on this site everyday just waiting for that update by my favorite author. It's amazing how you write. You're story us literally the first one that I subscribed to. I don't want you to deactivate and discontinue your stories, but if that's what you really want to do, I don't think anyone will hols it against you. I have so many fanfics on here that I read and a lot of the authors want to deactivate their accounts to. All I can do is give words of encouragement and tell them how amazing they are and hope that they can continue. I don't just use your as a source of entertainment. I'm here for you of you need to talk. I don't think of people as just authors, I see them as friends. Just know that we're her for you!

Writer-nim ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ cheer up.. I know this is a hard phase for you but i cant imagine not reading your fics... You have improved your writing coz i have read your fics. Yes people may just read the fics and not take time to talk with the writer but i think communication is a form of knowing like how the story goes whats next and things. Please do not be down with this... I really like your fics especially the new taetae fic ㅠㅠ i keep waiting patiently and its an awesome Fic! If you need a friend or someone to talk to im here. Im glad to be your reader and friend ^^ and whatever your decision is i respect it (but im really hoping you wont leave ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ) ur amazing

Well.. its true that I can't completely understand how you feel because I'm not a writer, but as a reader I have to tell you that your story is one of the longest I've been following.
I don't want to imagine you disactivating, not only because you'll discontinue your stories (that's actually sad) but losing an amazing writer and person like you will be a waste! (I'm sure you're a great person from your story and the way you wrote)
Whatever your decision is I accept it, but I secretly (ok not so secretly) hope that you'll stay with us!
So, how are you feeling some days after your surgery? I wish you a speedy recovery and I'm happy to hear that the people you're close to are taking care of you! :)
Also, even though I'm not good at talking and interacting with people (lol it's the sad reality) feel free to talk to me about anything! Let's get along well!!! ^ω^

Oh no! To be honest, as a writer myself, I also find myself in your place. It's really hard to keep up with entertaining the readers, especially when they only think of you as someone who writes good stories. I love it when people approach me first, considering how shy of a person I am and I hope it makes you feel better that there is also a fellow writer who feels the same way as you! Please don't deactivate! I've also felt like I should stop writing because I didn't want to force myself into writing if everyone just thought of me of just being "authornim".

P.S. I'm very willing to be your friend <3 (i'm a bit weird though)

Omgosh r u ok? I know that u may not know me, but just know that if u ever need someone to talk to, feel free to chat me up. I have most social media so I am always free to talk if u need to. I know this may seem odd coming from a stranger but I'm a friend to all that appreciate it :-)♡

Just heard about your blog posts from A Lady's First and I'm so sad to hear this and also I hope you are doing well on your recovery from your surgery. Obviously I would hate to see your stories disappear but you should do what you believe is best for you! Being happy is the number one priority for anyone and if you not longer feel happy being and writing on AFF then do not feel pressured to stay. Hope you feel better! Love your stories and I'm usually not the one to make approaches for friends online but I'm definitely open to the idea of it :)

You should definitely not feel under appreciated and it's sad that you do. Although I can't speak for others, I can definitely say for myself that I'm extremely thankful for your effort in writing. It's beautiful how you write and your plots are brilliant. I love your writing style and how you manage to draw me in so deep. Also, I'm just like you when it comes to socializing because I'd rather have others approach me first as I have a very shy nature. However, I'd be honored to be your friend on AFF!
To be honest, there's few writers in this website who actually write in a style I like. You're one of them and it'd be really sad if you do deactivate. And as someone who's also writing stories, I can definitely say that I get quite lazy to write when I'm not busy since I just want free time to myself. I look up to people like you who try to update frequently. And if it makes you feel any better, I don't hate when an author doesn't reply to my comments. As long as they see how much I love their story and as long as my comments can bring a smile to their face, I'm happy.

I can't tell you what I want you to do, but your an amazing writer and I'm sad you feel under appreciated. Sorry I haven't been reading your blogs, didn't know you had some. This site has changed so much in the past 5 years. I would love to be friends with you. I hope you find happiness in what you decide to do.
P.s hope your knee is all good.
