Wow... so it's been... *does a rough count* about half a year since I last logged in, right? ><"

Life just got really, really busy .___. I ended up taking more classes than I could handle last semester, and so pretty much ended up with very little time to write anything that wasn't school-related or even come on AFF at all. ;___; Again, I never made a formal announcement of hiatus or whatever because I just never thought it would be until the whole semester was over before I could finally come here again. And after semester was finally over, I went on a trip to Japan (BEST PLACE EVER <3), then came back and was stuck with a crappy computer that made simply typing and switching between tabs/windows a very tedious and frustrating process. @___@ I'm on a better computer now (not even mine; it's borrowed xD), but it won't even let me access anything Office-related. -___- And plus now I have a summer job and urgh. ><"

I am veeery sorry for disappearing without a word .___. (if anyone still cares or even remembers me LOL xD) Even though I finally made the decision to log into AFF again and maybe finally catch up with some of you, I probably won't be able to write for any of my stories until at least a week or two later. (And by then, it will nearly be time for the new school year again D:)

I apologise for seemingly ignoring all the wallposts/PMs from all my lovely friends; it really wasn't my intention to leave everything behind without a word of warning or prior explanation, and I'm sorry if I came off as rude to anyone. *bows 90 degrees* I still love and treasure all of you, though, and did think of a lot of my AFF friends during all this time. <33333

Now comes the main part. Am I back on AFF? Kind of.

I don't mean this in an offensive way at all, but AFF has really changed since the times when I used to come online almost on a daily basis. (Wow, a pioneer badge? O.O) The core "focus/trend" of fanfics here has changed, and while I have no problem with that, it's just not something I'm that interested in. It's just becoming increasingly difficult to find stories that fit my liking. ><" In addition to this, I have kiiiiiind of, ever so slightly, started to drift away from K-pop in general. I would write a rant or some post expressing everything I feel and the reasons why, but I'm just going to get a whole lot of hate for it, so meh. xD Basically, a lot of the "fandom aspects" of K-pop are really getting on my nerves... so I'm really starting to question why I keep looking at/watching something that makes me angry more than it makes me happy o.O Again, I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I'm really only still in K-pop for SHINee. Once SHINee break up or stop being active or whatever (which hopefully isn't anytime soon D:), I'm pretty much done lol.

In terms of my own fanfics, I definitely still enjoy writing, and do endeavour to finish my neglected stories. Seriously, that's like one of my goals. xD No point starting something and leaving it hanging there unfinished, especially when I've got all the endings all planned out. ;) As for the reviews I promised, I'll probably have to think about my time and see how things go when the new semester starts before I can decide whether or not I have time to actually do them. If you're one of the people whom I accepted a review request from but have rudely failed to get back to with a completed review, you will definitely be receiving a message (and the most sincerest of apologies xD) from me if I do decide that I will no longer have the time to fulfill these requests. *bows again*

And as for socializing? As I've said before, AFF really has changed a lot. Most of the users I befriended or were familiar with have left (either the site, the fanfiction world, or the realm of K-pop in general), so admittedly, it does decrease the motivation to come back here... Not that I don't enjoy talking to those of you who are still here or the new friends I made before I disappeared, though! <33333

In short, I'm kiiiiind of back here again, but my sole purpose will be to finish updating my stories. I may reply to the occasional wallpost/PM every now and then, but those huge, 3-part, looooong convos I had going with heaps of people won't be happening anymore. :'( If you really do want to keep in contact with me, try finding me on other sites where I'm more active (doesanyoneevenwanttodothatlol).

This is going to seem like shameless advertising, but I promise it's not what I'm trying to do xDDD Anyway, Tumblr would be your best option if you need to talk to me, and I'm not super active on Twitter and Instagram (not that Instagram's really a place to talk to people xD), but you'll get a quicker response from me there than here, I guess. xD Oh, and if you've spoken to me enough and you feel comfortable/feel like it, you can PM me for a Facebook add. ^^ (I'm pretty much on Facebook at least once every day and it's the best place to find me; it's just that I don't really add people whom I don't know or have never spoken to in any way.) I'm putting all these other accounts/links here because I cannot promise that I'll be on AFF for very long, and my activeness is definitely going to be extremely unpredictable and quite likely significantly less than before.

I guess you can say I'm kind of back on AFF, yet kind of semi-leaving it, too.

TL;DR

- I know it's been ages xD

- I'M SO SORRY FOR KIND OF LEAVING WITHOUT A WORD D:

- I will finish my stories

- I will have to see for reviews, but will get back to each person I accepted a request from

- Main purpose of semi-return to AFF is to finish stories

- Highly recommended to find me elsewhere as I won't be socializing/talking to people here as much as I used to

- I love you all <33333

I'm not even sure if I still have any closer friends still active on AFF or if anyone else is going to either bother to read this or come across it at all, but yeah... xD

Oh, and if anyone is wondering or still cares, my bias group is still SHINee and my bias/hubby is still Jonghyun. ;) LOOK AT THAT FAITHFULNESS 8D
