Hm.

So I'm not sure how to say this.

How long has it been since I started writing on here? Quite a while I would say... And I've had my fair share of stories.

And for the rest of my stories unfinished, I promised to finish them. I promised a few months ago before I departed on my trip to Oxford. I promised that I would never discontinue them. But I can't keep my promise. I'm not normally a promise breaker, but I have no choice. I'm in the beginnings of my senior year in high school, I'm the editor-in-chief of my school's yearbook, I'm entering several writing competitions, I'm dedicated to a serious writing class at my school that stays two hours after classes have ended for the day, and I'm starting my college applications (not just started, but trying to finish and send a number of them in soon). I can't help but feel overwhelmed, and AFF has always been at the back of my mind, pestering me to get on here and either finish what I started... or let you all know the news.

I will not be continuing as an author on AFF. I will not be discontinuing any of my stories, but I will not be continuing them on here. I do not have the time, and have dedicated much of my little remaining time to other writing projects that I'm not too keen on sharing online just yet. I love all of my readers and the friends I've made over my time here on AFF, but it's time I let this go. Most people have the ability to stay on AFF for a long time, but I guess I'm just not one of them. I'm sorry to leave without a definite finish. That's quite a pet peeve to many people, including me... incompletion. I'm sorry.

If you want to read any of my current work, message me and I'll see if I can send you something. As for story conclusions of the ones I have on AFF that aren't finished, you can also send me a message and I'll reply with the ending to that specific story. I love you all, but it's time for me to leave. I'm overly stressed, overly overwhelmed, and even at the end of my high school career, I don't believe I'll have any time for AFF. I'll be dedicated to my new college, perhaps a summer job, my own personal projects and writing, and... trying to rebuild friend connections before I head off to college. And in college... I'll be busy with that. I hate these excuses, but they are my reality. So this is where I say good bye to all of you wonderful people who have completely made my time on AFF.

Thank you so much for your support in the past; I love you all.

Good bye.
