Possible Hiatus for Der Marchenclub, an Early Warning

It's nearly been a month since I last wrote anything for Der Marchenclub. 

My goodness, what I fear is inching closer: a part of me is losing interest in this fic. And if I lose interest, I lose inspiration. If I lose inspiration, I simply cannot write anything. 

So... I don't know. For any of you who reads this blog and follows DMC... well... please don't kill me if I can't finish that fic.

 

 

Well, at least I'll continue to upload the chapters which I've written weekly. I still have around 8-10 chapters which I have written and not published, so unless I'm really busy at the weekend, I'll still be able to give updates for the next 8-10 weeks ahead.

 

Unfortunately, I don't know what I'm going to do after that. I do know the conclusion to the story, it's just that I don't think I can write it. 

 

 

In my projection, I still have to write around 4 chapters more before I close the story forever, but... really. I've been patient enough for the past month and try to get the inspiration back, but it's not coming yet. Some of you might have noticed the different amount of attention I have for the earlier chapter of DMC and the later chapter of DMC. I rarely check/revise the chapters lately. I wrote the chapters just because I have to, not because I'm feeling inspired. Grammatical and spelling errors everywhere. Boring and plain writing style. Exaggerated plot. Well, I can't do much about the exaggerated plot, because that's what I've planned for, but other than that... the quality is going downhill. Sometimes even I am embarassed.

 

Sometimes, maybe it's better not to write this story at all... That way, no one will feel disatisfied with the lack of conclusion. 

 

I don't know. 

 

Just...sorry, I guess.

 

I'll try to be responsible though. I do not want to feel indebted to any of you, so I'll... see what I can do to get my muse back.

 

But in case I don't... In case after the next 8-10 weeks, there is no continuation of DMC, you will know why.

 

Thank you.

And sorry, again. I'm frustrated with my lack of competence myself.

I know I'm outdated and I'm a new reader. I found your fanfic last week and I can't stop reading it. I REALLY LOVE IT, HONESTLY. And it is the BEST fairytale, angst fanfic I'd ever read. Like seriously, I don't read fanfic much lately since last year. But upon finding Der Marchenclub, I became fond on it. T___T I really love how creative you're thinking with all those ideasss /I respect you/. And this is the only fanfic that I'm loyal to and keep on reading it.

Since I just found this last week, I keep on reading and enjoying this story. But then as days past by, you finally updated chapter 46 and I'd read until chapter 33. It makes me scared that you won't update anymore T___T I don't wanna continue reading Der Marchenclub in one go (like 4-6 chapters a day) since it is nearly the end of it (chapter 46) and having no ending.... So that's why now, I even read only half chapter A DAY. I really hope you will continue on finishing it...

I LOVE DER MARCHENCLUB SO MUCH. I understand your feeling about not wanting to finish it anymore for lacking of inspiration because I'm a writer too. And now I know how hurt and frustrated it is for my readers that are so devoted in my story but I never even want to update it because I feel like not wanting to finish it. So, I hope you won't disappoint your reader like how I disappointed mine :')

But even so, I respect your decision and now you are on my top bias writer list. I hope you will make fanfics that are as unique as Der Marchenclub :)

PS: This is my first time writing this lonnnngggg comment. I'm desperate because I love Der Marchenclub so much :P I'm sorry if what I wrote annoys you. But anyway, komawo for even upload Der Marchenclub. It inspires me a lot as a writer that loves fantasies. ^^ I'm really happy that Der Marchenclub even exists. ^______^

The Fairy Tale Club has become my second favorite story of all time, and I admit I would be pretty disappointed if I never got to know the ending.
However, it's your decision, and I do understand it. But still, I really do hope that for us readers, you try to write it till the very end ^^
If not, perhaps you can try to improvise and adapt the plot so that the ending will arrive quicker and you can at least give us a ending? ^^

But don't feel pressurized or anything. I enjoyed the story a lot and I'm just thankful that it even exist :)

Awwwww thats really sad...

Well, I understand completely. But I hope you will try to the very end, to the point where every little interest you have built up has disappeared. Because such a wonderful story must go on. Don't you think that all your time and effort will be wasted should you just leave it hanging? I won't hate you; no one will. Just do your best :)

Or if you can't put it out in words, I hope the least you can do is at least give us a rough idea of the rest of the story, and what happened to the rest of the characters :) and the ending can also be written in brief.

Well it is your choice, and no one is forcing you to do this :) but i would be really happy even if you left it unfinished BUT gave us the ending ^^ that would be good, esp with taeteuk n sunsun n haesica and happily ever after :) hhaha jkjk ^^

Hope you find inspiration! If not, we can always imagine what the ending would be. Hwaiting ^^

contrary to some other fans' wants and needs, i think it's perfectly fine or you to take a break. your lack of enthusiasm has been showing a bit (though not in the writing style, but like proofreading errors and the author's notes). hopefully after separating yourself from the story for a while, you'll reread what you've written for DMC and regain the inspiration to write the last few chapters. as a fellow fanfic writer, i understand that that's just what we need to do sometimes. :)
it is better to write one very good, high quality fic that you are proud of rather than to write many "completed" fics that all lack something and disappoint. :/ (although i assure you that lately i still find your writing to be superb, and perhaps you couldn't disappoint readers even if you tried XP)
you don't have to worry- though they do hope you end up finishing, most of your fans will accept your decision, whatever you do. you will always have my support! ^.^

what? you cant do that unnie, seriously! a part of u is probably losing interest but there is hundred people out there who love it and still interest with your story.
i'm sorry to say this, but u cant be selfish. u have a big responsibility to finish your story when you start to write this fic. if u stop to write, then what bout us, your loyal reader? i've ever wrote fanfic too, and i've ever felt i lost my interest as well, same like yours but i know i should finish it because there is people out there who's waiting the final of my story, even not as much as yours, but i couldnt just stop like that. so i tried to bring my interest back and finally i could finish it. and i'm sure every writer, every single of them feel like lose interest too and most of them choose to stop writing and a few of choose to continue. So be the one choose to continue, u cant just give up on yourself, u have to beat that feeling un. and you know, there is a lot of writer who still complete their story even though they didnt have much subscribers even though their grammar is totally lack. and even though their story didnt really good, even though they only have a few people who comment and support them to continue, but they still finish it. And the story of yours, with a lot of subscribers, readers, supportive comments, and with awesome trailer and fantastic poster, a bunch of people who's very enthusiast with your story, but u still lost interest and want to stop? think twice un pleaseeeee.
and let me tell you this sis, i already told my friend who works in book publisher to read this, and she promised me to read it when her job is finished.
i really hope that u could consider what u want and do what u really have to do.
the last i'm sorry i talk too much and if my words hurt you it's not hurt as much as your decision hurts me.
just please continue unnniee
