I'm going to make an effort

Well, it's been quite a long time hasn't it?

I'm writing this in order to explain why I haven't updated my stories for months/years and what I'm going to do from now on.

The reason I stopped writing chapters for my fanfiction is because I lost quite a bit of passion when it comes to the xiuhan fandom. I still read fanfiction and I don't ship them any less than I did before, but after such a long time of no interaction between the two my inspiration started to fade. And when I did get inspired to write, I looked back at the work I had published and wasn't very happy with what I saw. I have matured over the years, and so has my writing style. And even though I'm proud of my work, I still feel like there's a gap between the writer I used to be and the writer I am today. And so when I wish to continue on writing an old story, the style is completely different.

But I made many promises to finsih these stories, and I plan on keeping that promise no matter how long it's going to take. So here's whatI'm going to do;

  • I'm going to edit my unfinished stories, some just a little bit and some a lot, to fit the writing style I use today
  • I'm going to copy my stories to AO3 instead of livejournal and post on both platforms (AFF and AO3)
  • I'm goingt to try and finish the stories which have been in the making for the longest first. 
  • I'm going to alternate between writing Xiuhan and Johnlock (the other fandom I'm writing for) to keep myself from growing bored with my own stories

So that's the plan. I don't know if it will work or not, but I really do wish to finish my stories. And remember that your comments and feedback is what has kept me going all this time. Without you guys I wouldn't even bother to come back and try to finish my work. I'm doing this because I made a promise to you. So thank you all so much for staying by me for so long! I'll do my best!

Good luck with this, sweetheart! I know the feeling, but then I just suddenly felt this urge to write about Xiuhan again... And then my Xiuhan heart began beating so fast once more. I really wish good luck for the both of us!
