I really should stop here...

When I read the hiatus chapter of The Change by mery17, it made me think about my own stories. Not all of them were read that many as I had hoped. The only stories that were popular are Chained Up, Tamed, Turned and JADE, but none of the others is as popular as these ones. And when I recieve comments on chapters, it means to me that people have read it. But also when people leave a bookmark. Unfortunately, not every story of mine is that lucky and I don't want to delete them due to failing success.

It also made me think that it would be better if I leave AFF. I've said this many times, but maybe for good. I love to write since 2012 in order to please people, but I can't seem to give you all what you like. Whenever people come up with an idolxoc story, it's a popular one. Mine ,Chained To Love, turned into a big disaster and I consider to delete that one. And it doesn't even matter which idols contain in my story, none of them are that popular as the four mentioned earlier.

So I'll stay here this month, but I might leave next month. I think it's better for me to let this writing stuff go, because I can't seem to be noticed by people. I started on a Dutch website, before I moved to Wattpad in 2014. And even there, my stories weren't successful. And right now, my stories are here on AFF. 

Also, I miss some people that I talked to when I just got here. Some haven't even been online for months and some are online, but don't update stories or whatsoever. I really miss those people and I feel lonely here.

From now on, all the stories are discontinued and new chapters will be left in draft. But I will stop working on some very soon due to lack of inspiration. Until January 2019, I'm here. After that, I wanna be gone here.

hmmm i'mma give the real tea. maybe try a different site where your ship is more appreciated. aff isn't very vixx centric, so maybe try archiveofourown. that's where i go when i look for vixx fics. also, if you're that desperate for appreciation, try writing another, more popular ship. leaving is not going to solve the problem. idk if you've thought of it, but it's not the ideas, not the fact that you write gay ships. it's because very few people will actually look up "neo" or "vixx". as an experiment, i would just replace all your character names iwth the characters of a more popular ship. see how many subbies you get then.

but the question is, how desperate are you for this appreication? if you've been trying to please people since 2012, have you even been writing what you want to write??? i wonder if you're just here for the subbies. i'd like to hope you're not because you've been around for so long and kept persevering with this beautiful vixx ship but, that's how you're coming off right now.

leaving because your friends left is another story. i know what you mean. all my frickin friends are leaving me because they're all "grown up" now. it ing . i see these blogs where ppl say, oh i need time to find myself, or, kpop just doesn't do it for me anymore. and then i try to make myself not care. cos , who the hell do you think you are, pretending to be my friend and all that and then u just jump out the window like bye errrsss. i don't even get a ing goodbye.

so yeah, i feel lonely too. and well, if you ever wanna talk, that would be nice.

As an author here too, I know how hard it is to keep up with the update, to reach readers expectations, trying your best to please the readers everytime they share some ideas to be add and so on. Then, after you tried to do your best in making stories, no one appreciate it. That can lead to lose motivation.

I also feel the same coz there are not much of my stories got attention from readers. I even delete a few stories coz seeing it with only a few comment make me down. I know its hard but I try to not leave this place. This is where I started to share my imaginations with people and seeing people enjoy it really makes me want to write more.

Try to read back all those beautiful and supportive comments that readers leave on your stories. I'm sure there is someone who likes your each of your stories. However, if you really give up on any of your stories, I suggest you to hold it or maybe delete it. Then, starts a new one. Writing is fun and by continue doing it can gives you happiness somehow. So, I dont really support you to leave this place completely...

In my opinion, your stories are unique and different which makes me wants to know more. I personally like lovey dovey and cute stories but your stories really opened me up to other genre such as the vampire series. I like to read them!

Then again, if your really determined to leave, I cant say anything to it since its your decision. Just know that there are people who appreciate you and likes your stories. I know I'm kinda not in a place to say all of these since I'm also losing motivation to write. But, I believe that inspirations will come to us one day and we will want to write again.

Sorry for the long comments. I hope my words does help you in some ways. Fighting, authornim!

Believe me, some good stories never got to be popular because usually people don't like new stuff. We all stick to reading the same cliche stories only written by different people. Since you requested a few posters from me, from what I can see, your stories are different and they sound interesting.

Another thing is that some ships are just very underrated here on AFF, in real life too, but if you feel like you want to write then write. Everyone has a creative side only some people don't do anything to show it but you did. You started writing stories for people who like reading, for people who like the ship.

Also, sometimes it's just better if you stick to one shots. It's also better for you to not start 10 stories at once. Take your time with just one story then when you finish go to the other one.

This is just my suggestion and I do hope you stay on AFF. Take your time if you need but it will be such a waste if you leave.

Oh honey it's not right to give up completely, you should be consistent about what you like and I can see you enjoy writing, you could take some time off if you feel you're losing motivation but plz don't leave
This makes me feel bad about myself I could have been your inspiration not this!
Plz be strong and consistent about what you love! I'm sure your stories will be amazingly accepted by your readers one day!
Fighting!

I don't know about other people but I want you to stay. You can call me selfish, but its true. I mean, I know it's our fault to not comment & upvote your stories while we are reading it regularly. But trust me their are many people who are liking it and going to like it in future. Just give them some time.
