Hello again, friends!

(If you don't care for my sentimental anniversary spiel and thank you's, you can skip all this to read about the giveaway. It's after the line break.)

Still going through some pain and stressful times but I just saw on my page... IT'S MY ACCOUNT'S BIRTHDAY (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟﾟtoday also marks the first day of my first fic Lucky!

Still til this day I'm very thankful for everyone that started there and grew with me for so long ♡ Everyone has been nonstop kind and supportive; I couldn't ask for better subs and friends. All of you have really pushed me and encouraged me and helped me not only grow as a writer but also boosted my confidence that I had none of from being so buried in my heartbreak.

I'm happy to say that within this one year, I have finally gotten over a trauma in my life as well as getting over the loss of my best friend and ex. It's still very upsetting how we fell apart but I don't blame myself anymore for what happened. Things happen in life for a reason and I continue to still have (little lol) hope that one day we can be close friends again in the future after all this space and time to do what we need to ^^

The reason I began writing, as some of you know, was to alleviate the pain. I was in a horrendous condition and the year worsened as time went on. Even now I am going through one of the hardest times in my life.. but I will continue to strive as much as I can to live long and healthy again one day ^^

But! With all the love and support, here I am. Alive (well, mostly OTL). Owning roughly 40 fics now? Owning 2 accounts. And having so many of you be such avid and dedicated readers of my work. It still makes me incredibly shy to constantly see you guys race to be the first to sub to my stories but also really touches my heart having so many trust that I will put out something good enough for your interests each and every time.

Also super glad to say my writing has definitely come a long way since Lucky xD I've adopted several writing styles and voices and bettered story flows since then, but I never forget my roots that started it all. I still use aspects of Lucky, mostly the dynamics, the timing of plot twists, and defimitely the hard hitting, heart wrenching, relentless angst x3

My favorite most of all, and something I unconsciously did, was carry on my "legacy" I guess from being known for my writing style of "calm before the storm" in which I get all of you hooked on the romance and fluff and fun stupid comedy moments with EXO ans then hit everyone hard with no angst breaks xD I still try to carry on what most of you told me,l you enjoyed, that I apparently write EXO's relationship/friendship and personalities accurately, but with my growing plots I find that I've been drifting from that and I'm sorry.. I need a break sometimes ;×; 

I promise that even though the Lucky series is uncompleted and on hiatus, I do have every intention to get back to it at some point. It has a special place in my heart and I still think about its plot to this day and how to do about the elaborate heartache I'm going to throw at all of you haha. So even though it has no recent updates, please trust me that I am working on it in some way and haven't forgotten it! LUCKY IS MY BBY OK XD

Lastly, thank you everyone again whether you supported me from day one or just met me or subbed to my stories this week, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This journey has been really changing for me and really helped me as a person haha but no worries!! This is only the beginning (✧ ω✧)ง I will continue to write and update stories despite being healed ♡

But don't get ahead of yourselves - I'm still going to break you guys with my romance-angsts, I just can't write anything else xD

That's it for now ♡

The task: I always like to show my utmost gratitude for people irl as well as my subs and friends. So! The surprise is to wallpost something to a list of people that have been subbing and upvoting to most/all of stories, been extremely supportive of me, cheering me up often, working their off to check on me on days I'm not myself, etc. If it weren't for these people, idk how I would've gotten this far on AFF and they always have my love and thanks ♡

If you want the mega giveaway option and are willing to help me, send me a PM, comment below, comment at my shop, or post on my wall. All I require you to do is to wallpost a message to at least one person on my list.

You're welcome to message me on either this account or my sweetashyunie one. I'll be checking both anyway.

BUT! For each additional person you wallpost my message to, I will add: 10 wallpost ads, 1 blogpost, and 1 free anytime request to my shop.

That's it. I'm not a super strict or mean person, so ask me anything if you didn't understand or if you are interested in any of the above.

Despite what I'm going through, I'm still pushing to be better and do what I can to help around and fulfill my aff-project of spreading some more love and making the community a nicer place, as is the reason for opening my shop.

Thank you again everyone (*'꒳' *)
