To You, My Dearly Beloved Subscribers...
Hello to all my 16,000+ subscribers.
Today, I officially announce my hiatus from writing here in Asianfanfics.
For the last two years and five months of my life, I have written 5 full-blown stories containing almost 200 chapters. Did you know that I have been writing for 80% of the past 900 days? Yes. I dedicated 5 to 6 days of my week writing, churning out plots, developing scenes, completing dialogues and picturing events. It has now come to a point when a hobby that was once enjoyable has become a burden. Now I feel so tired, so weary, and so pressured in fulfilling your desires. I'm sorry guys, but I just have to stop for a little while.
Back then when I was only starting, I only produced 1 chapter a week for The Real Beast, composing of 2,000-3,000 words. I became content with a few hundred subscribers, 300 views and 20-30 comments a chapter. But when The Client came and became bigger than me (actually bigger than anything EVER), I became so greedy! I needed 1000+ views and 100+ comments per chapter, I needed 1000+ subscribers. I wanted so much more, until I found myself updating every other day, churning out 4000-5000 words with every chapter. I became so prolific, so diligent, so hungry for more. I felt like I needed more feedback to feel like writing so much was worth it. It became so worth it!
You stayed for Just ... Really?!. You loved The Secret-Keeper. You spoiled me so much as much as I spoiled you. We spoiled each other a lot. Until Scandal made me the greediest author. Suddenly, 4000 words weren't enough. 100 comments were too little. 1000 views were not worth it. An updated twice a week became a disappointment. Suddenly, I needed to update 3-4x a week, wrote 8,000-10,000 words per chapter, expected 5000 subscribers, 4000 views, 300 comments. Ah, my friends I became addicted to your feedback. The addiction now kicked in, and I have become so tired, so worn out, so drained, and mostly pressured.
I also realize that it is my diligence ad frequent activity that brought all 16,000+ of you here. Because of your trust that my writing can entertain you, I have become among the 30 most subscribed writer in this huge community. Thank you so much for being here, for your trust, your support, your faith, your loyalty, your patience, and most especially your feedback (messages, wall posts, subscriptions, upvotes, tweets, and story comments). It's because of you that I stayed for almost thirty months. My last two and a half years have been dedicated to satiate your desire for story updates. I hope that I have entertained you, as you expected.
Mostly, I hope that The Real Beast, The Client, Just ... Really?!, The Secret-Keeper and Scandal have left deep footprints on this site that you won't easily forget me. They are my greatest creations, my heart and mind in a tangible piece, an echo of my fantasies, ability and hardwork, and the immortalizations of my fanaticism and devotion for my one and only idol, G-dragon. My stories will remain onsite, available for you to read over and over and over and over again. I will still be here too, lurking, or maybe reading other stories.
Someday, I will be back for you all, rested and with a fresher mind. I wish to one day continue entertaining you. I would just need this time to rest, to relax, and to finally live a normal life again where I don't write while I eat, while I watch TV (talk about multi-tasking) or even while I socialize with friends (or NOT socialize, even if we're physically together). For how long? I don't know. Maybe months. Maybe years. I just know I'll be back soon.
A Million Dollar , as already expressed, will be in an indefinite hiatus.
Again, much love, much thanks, much respect. Until we meet again my friends.
xoxo,
Kpoponly
