I Gave Up.

I'm a little late on reporting this, but regardless .. I have deleted The Power of Nine.

Let me start out with a little anecdote. When I first signed up for AsianFanfics back in June I had wrote a ChangSoo fic (I've already forgotten the name but bear with me), it was about Changmin and Sooyoung being forced to "date" in order to increase their group's popularity. I posted the first few chapters and I didn't get a goode response, which wasn't shocking because when I look back at it I realize how atrocious my writing style was, the actual length of each chapter, and just the inconsistency of any flow.

I got off of AsianFanfics for a while and just abandoned the fic, I forgot about it, until I was brought back. That's when I came up with this somewhat ingenious idea which eventually became The Power of Nine. Of course, compared to my ChangSoo fic it was way better, but I didn't realize it was actual bad until I read it over.

Overall, I'm working up to be a good writer, as you noticed in my other stories/oneshots I've definitely improved from TPON (not much but it's something) and it's just a gradual movement on my part. Practice really does make perfect, and I hope I can achieve that one day.

As for why I deleted it was the same reason I deleted my first fic, I discontinued it due to lack of good writing, and it was already too late to redo it. I did have a plot set out for each character, but it was complicated to jump to each member's storyline because they are all important equally. Writing nine different plots is complicated to keep in the mind, and I should've done each member's background in one chapter rather than all together. The Power of Nine was meant to show the value of the friendship the nine girls had, and from what was portrayed in my story it was more on what each member's struggles were while juggling the life of almost-stardom. I knew how it was going to end, but I couldn't exactly find ways to get to that end point.

I know I said I wouldn't give up on it, and I really tried, but I just had to. I apologize to all those subscribers, who managed to wait and read the story, for the commenters who were anticipating what was going to happen but couldn't even read it, and to myself, for letting myself down.

Will I ever rewrite The Power of Nine? I honestly don't know. Maybe one day in the future I'll think of something similar to TPON but it won't be with the same characters, group, etc. All I wish is that for those who subscribed to it that they should read my better works, because it is way better than what I had begun with.
