Goodbye, AFF

 

Remember in my last blog post, I said I would be taking a 4-6 month hiatus?

Well, I don't want to keep anyone waiting or hoping for an update. 

I've been mulling this over for a couple of weeks now and I've come to a conclusion. 

I'll be deleting my AFF account soon.

I don't want to just leave it there with the flies, nor do I want to just delete it without telling you guys.

 

Of course, I've thought about this a lot. Fanfiction became a huge chunk of my adolescent life. I've been writing since I was thirteen (not necessarily only K-pop fandoms), but I've also thought about when I'll be stopping. Because this, along with K-pop, is just a phase for me just like My Chemical Romance. 

Unfortunately, growing up means letting go of the obsessions that make you happy. When I was eleven I was in love with MCR, but that love grew away from me in time, then along came K-pop and it stayed with me for more or less two years before it started to grow old. 

I still listen to My Chem and I'm sure I'll still be listening to K-pop when I feel like it, although I've deleted most of them (Big Bang, some SHINee albums and f(x) albums) 

I also decided to not go to the concert in September. I can use the money for the ticket to buy other more useful things.

 

Why the sudden decision to delete?

I've already said that I didn't want to leave anyone hanging. Secondly, I've lost the passion to write anything about K-pop, but not writing itself. I've lost the K-pop fangirl in me, to put it simply. And I don't think I'll write anymore fanfiction in the future, any fanfiction. 

I guess this is what I've been fearing when I was younger; growing up and letting go of your teenage hobbies and passions. But now that it's come, it's not so bad after all. It's been a good ride. I've learned a lot and improved my writing, so I can say I'm not coming out of this with nothing. 

I want to thank everyone here who read my work, who commented and who subscribed. Also my friends, and basically everyone I met on here.

 

I've left my stories open for copying so whoever wants to save them, they can do so. Anyone can also repost them wherever if you want. 

I'm also very sorry for all the stories I couldn't finish, most especially Cut Up Angel. I told myself I would finish it before I delete my account but I simply do not have the time. But for curiosity's sake, the plot was supposed to go like this: Minho falls for Taemin as a coping mechanism, they go out and be happy and Minho slowly recovers, and months later Yuri comes back with news that she's pregnant and has been living with her grandparents to hide it. I've thought of many other conflicts in the story, but that's basically the backbone of what it was going to be.

If anyone wants to continue the story for me, come forward and ask. 

 

Lastly, I'll be turning eighteen soon. And besides strawberry-flavored vodka, I also want to move on from AFF with a good and proper goodbye. 

I think I'll be making another blog where I can still write, but I won't be committing myself to any chaptered stories. 

I need to eliminate as many distractions from college as possible. I'll be having majors next semester.

 

P.S. I'll be deleting this account two weeks from now. 

 

Bye-bye~ 

 

With love,

Nikki <3

Sad to see you leave, I know this is late, but I just saw it.
Do you still have your stories so I can save them?

Your stories and work will be missed. I can say I really loved them and enjoyed seeing you improve in your writing with each story posted.
As most of good things, they come to an end. I'm glad I was able to read through your stories and have them keep me up at night (although those were good nights spent reading).
I hope you do well in the future and do know you are very, very talented in writing. Hopefully I'll see your work not on websites anymore nor online but in my hands as a book.
A true gem has left us. Just let me say, thank you. Thank you for giving us these wonderful stories to read.
Best of luck in life and live well! ^^v

awh just as I found a good author here another good author is leaving!
I want to thank you for giving us this opportunity to read and enjoy all your works. Will you believe that my friend avoid reading your stories after reading one and tearing up? Hahaha.
Wishing you lots of luck and do your best in whatever you want to in the future! Keep writing and please let us keep reading your stories!
One wish? Keep your profile? I don't think I can bear not reading any of your stories :(

It must have been very hard for you to make such brave decision, and i really respect you for that. eaaaahh anyhow, good luck and best wishes for everything you do! Thank you so much for all this time :)

I really just wanna say thank you, it was one of your stories that introduced me to the world of AFF, with your stories you've made me cry, laugh and feel furious a couple times. Growing up sure is complicated and I think you are making a brave decision, as long you're making it for the good of yourself not for others. It's a great lost for AFF but I'm looking forward to read your new jobs.

Hey who knows, maybe the next work of yours I'll be reading is going to be on a bookshell next to others famous authors. Have a great life!

It's sad to see you go. You are very talented with your writing. I see you bring joy to a lot of people with it. It's a nice gift to have. Sadly, it is true how you grow up from what you use to love so dearly. I know how you feel. Maybe one day you will come back and share more of your awesomeness to us.

I hope you keep do your page up so we can retread your story. :(

Anyhow, good luck to you and remember fighting!!! :)

Thank you for all you have done for me. I stumbled across this site and it was you that made me stay. I wanted to keep reading your fanfics so I stayed. Thank you and I will miss you tons. Your influence is huge and AFF will be losing a huge part of its heart when you leave

Hi there I am a great fan of many of your fanfics and I hope you don't delete your account so that fans like me can come back and read them again once in awhile. Good luck with your majors and take care.

That's actually one of the things I've been most afraid of for years, ever since I started with my whole K-pop addiction. I never really liked change, no matter what kind it is. Moving on from something that has been a huge part of your life is a major change, and it's one of the (in my opinion) harshest signs that tells you that you are, in fact, growing up. Life doesn't wait for anybody, and I guess moving on from this fandom really is your decision to make, and yours alone. I'll really miss your stories, haha. Good luck with college, good luck with life! :) We'll miss youu!

:( b... But I just got to read one of ur stories. But I can totally understand people grow up and move on for the better or worse but I think this is for the better. Lol that makes me sound like I'm older then you when I'm not! I really hope you succeed in college and of course in life! Your story that read (damaged) was awesome! It gave me a lot of joy these past days. Love you even though I've just found you lol.

I'm honestly so upset. So many great authors leaving wonderful stories unfinished. I'm just SO annoyed. Whatever, it is your decision and life.
