Hi World :)

Hello all... It's been quite a while. ^_^

I've not visited AFF for quite some time now (over a year?) owing to an ever-busier growing life, but I was watching TV and randomly this place popped into my head. And I realised how much I miss it! I'm not sure how many of my friends here are still visiting the site but if you see this, hello, I hope you're doing well! :)

I thought I'd pop in to check on things... I'm not sure how long I'll be staying for, or if I'll get any writing done yet, but I figured it would be nice to catch up and see how everybody is doing.

As for me... I'm a qualified teacher (for English as a foreign language) now~ I achieved my dream last June but, due to the pandemic, currently all my work is online... Actually, I'm also in the final year of my linguistics degree, researching and writing my 10,000 word thesis on teaching English - exciting stuff! I've turned into such a geek 🤓 From September, I'm going to be training as a secondary school teacher with a focus on supporting children in the UK who don't speak English. That's why I haven't been around for a looooong time. I've had lots of work demanding all of my time - oh and other big and exciting changes are happening for me!!

Okay, back to fics.. I really want to come back and write after my degree finishes (10,000 words of research demands my attention first!). Recently, I've had so many ideas for fics old and new... And I've been enjoying the Ace Attorney games a lot in my downtime (hello new fandom, I'm a little obsessed) so there's a khunwoo spinoff idea I'd possibly like to explore with that hehe.... For now though, I'm unsure what the future holds (like I said before, big and exciting changes, not all I can share right now!) so we'll have to see what happens.

I'll be sticking around for now though. So if any of my lovely friends are still around, send me a reply or a message, I'd love to catch up with you!

Love you all! ~Hani

PS: I just noticed it's my 4th anniversary on AFF today, so how is that for timing a return! ^_~

Hi!!!! Just randomly opened the app and saw your update. I don't think I visited this place in the past year, too. Congratulations on your achievements!! I'm so glad to know that you're doing fine. And good luck finishing your degree!

OMG....I haen't been "refreshing" AFF (and that's because I am always stuck at the Editing mode of a particular story I'm at...DUH!) . I was shocked, (pleasantly) surprised and excited to received an alert for a followed blog. I don't follow many blogs except friends' and almost all my friends have left AFF ...so i knew it was YOU, HAni! Anyway CONGRATS on your milestone achievement....I'll wait til your degree finally finishes before I CONGRATULATE you again finally. So do keep me posted!
On your coming back to (potentially) resume writing, I kinda know that life gets in the way sometimes and I refrain from badgering authors to "update their story" but in case you're wondering which one to update first, let me post my very first request after your CB (pleaeeeeease???? *puppy eyes and whiny voice*).....please, if you can, ...Drum Roll...next chapter of Escape to Paradise!❤❤❤

Yooo, good job on getting as far as you have with the degree. I wanted to get into linguistics, but it turned out not to be my path. I hope it turns out well for you!
