I want to DELETE my stories!

 

 

Hello everyone

I'm back

So, first things first

 

you may now congratulate me on getting my Bachelor degree after spending 2 years in misery and stress..

 

 

now that that's out of the way, lets get into the main issue here..

 

As the title of this blog says, i really want to delete all of my stories from this website..

 

but i have 4,540 subscribers overall on this website and it does not seem right to do this without consulting you first.

 

you guys are always there for me, always asking about me even if I'm not updating.

 

you cheer on me even though i don't deserve it

 

every time i log in and see my stories 

i just feel ashamed

 

i mean, i have all these amazing people waiting for updates on their favorite stories and i just can't put two words together and update

 

and even when i update

it takes forever to put up the next chapter and the next...

 

i feel like i am doing a very poor job, and i am, and it's killing me

 

i am free now but for some reason i feel disgusted with my stories

 

don't get me wrong, i like them all

 

but i feel like i should take them down and start fresh 

 

because i have no clue where i stopped and what plot i had before taking this dragging-ly long hiatus...

 

continuing any of them won't be successful (trust me) i'm telling you this as a writer.. when you no longer like your stories you do a poor job of ending them

 

so taking them down is the best option for me

but i will still ask you to tell me what you think

 

 

 

this is a hard decision, especially that i have 2 stories who's fans are still commenting on it feverishly despite the lack of updates (some said they should get featured too)

 

but i know i lost the plots besides, my writing style has changed tremendously throughout the years.. so yeah... that's all

 

let me hear your thoughts

 

One last thing,

 

don't be mad at me plz

You do what you feel is best. Although I’m sad to see you erase such hard work and writing, I understand your dilemma. If erasing and starting anew is the best option right now, then I will support you. I hope you continue to write more stories though because if not,that would be a waste of your beautiful writing. Much love and support sending your way.


Ps I hope you write more gtop in your future writing bc your character display for them is unparalleled.

Honestly, I identify a lot with you. Because of school I went on like a 4 year hiatus. I wanted to continue my stories, but I feel like no one will be interested to continue reading after I was on a hiatus for so long. Also, my stories must surely be forgotten by now. What I decided to do was leave my old account (this one... I logged in by accident lol) as is, and make a new account, and start fresh. I'm picking which stories to continue and when to continue them at my own pace. And will updated on my old page to let everyone know I'm continuing the stories again, once I have written a significant amount of chapters, because I'll feel bad if I end up going on another hiatus. This is simply what I chose to do. I don't want to delete the original posts because they were really important to me. BUT if you think deleting is the best option FOR YOU, that's your decision and you have every right. But I mean, if people are still commenting your stories, and you have that many subscribers, I'd consider leaving them and titling them as [discontinued]. For the memories.

Honestly, Don't! Why I am telling you this? because I've been in your position, and probably still there. I'm so fed up with the fact people get better at their writing while I'm still bad at it, no matter how I try but I keep writing.
Because, you probably didn't notice that. But you did already put a small part of your soul into the stories, and deleting it is like killing that part of you. that work won't be replaced (unless you keep a copy and you are just deleting the uploads.)

Don't leave and fight for your subscribers, I'm sure that someday, updating won't be a hasle anymore.

if you do delete your eunhae ones I will be really sad because I've sub to you to read your eunhae fic but school & work has me sooo busy I can't even make time to keep reading ... I was thinking of reading them once i done with school but thats later this year XD

If you take any down I just hope you plan to rewrite them because, we need more eunhae fics on here :(

Firstly, congratulations on your degree and your AFF anniversary! I still have one semester to go and after that I need to figure out what I'm going to do with it. T.T
Personally speaking, there's a handful of writers who have abandoned their stories here without saying a word, and I still have the tendency of checking their profile to see if they posted anything. I always hope I'll come to AFF and see that they finally updated even though for some of those authors 1-2 years have passed since their last update... Also, form the point of view of your subscribers, many often want to come back and reread without knowing you took the stories off the site. I'd say the best way to go is to keep them up and write what you feel comfortable writing, even if it's something new. Maybe some day you'll come back to them, maybe not. But the option will be there for you. Anyway! You can now start living in the "real world" with your degree. (Sorry for the inside joke. My teacher always says that when we graduate and go out into the real world we'll see how life is. I just sit there wondering wth he means because wouldn't that mean that undergraduates are living in a fake or inexistent world?)

congrats on your degree!!! (that will be me in 4 years time sighs)
And I would suggest you to start afresh cos it really to write something that you don't like, and it will be strange for the readers if your style changes and all. (And I have no idea what stories you write, but its true that most stories you write at a younger age tend to be rather cringe worthy lol I cannot look back at my old work anymore HAHAHA). But don't just abandon your stories (esp those that people are really curious about and are still asking questions etc), maybe ask your readers if anyone wants to like adopt it (like continue writing it, or borrow the plot and revamp a little but with credits to you). Yep. Good luck!!

Seeing as the title of this blog post is a statement and not a question, and a very firm one at that as you have an exclamation mark at the end too... Suggests that you have already made up your mind.. What's the point of asking then?

First thing first, congratulations for your degree, I know that journey, ans it is a long one with a lot of obstacles, i am so glad that you finally have it. For your stories, i am not gonna lie i'm not gonna be objective bc i'm a fan so of course i'm gonna say to contunie them. But if you feel that as a writter you should start anew then i guess that it's what you should do. I'm just happy that you are not gonna stop writing. :)

How about leaving those stories be so people can still read them and start anew anyway with new stories? I noticed there are very rude people out there, expecting things from writers and writing commands to them or something but in the end you do whatever you want with your thing. You're the artist so you don't have to continue your older stories! Maybe you can rewrite the ones you've liked the most one day since you don't seem to be satisfied with your previous writing style. Please don't bash yourself :)

I hope that if you end up deleting your stories, you'll still keep the ones that are finished (and so I can selfishly still have something to read from you)

Maybe you should do it as in real life. Leave your stories and start anew? I mean is up to you anyways, what makes you comfortable is what we all want, just don't forget to let us know where are we going to go with you, ok?
