Final Message

Hello, everyone! It is almost my 5th year anniversary on this website as an author now. I started my journey as a die-hard fan of Kpop in 2006 until later discovering the fun and joy of fanfiction through this ever-growing community of like-minded individuals. I've had my fair share of cringe-worthy chapters over the years but have also watched more and more people react and like my stories, and through that, I began to seek improvement in order to draw more attention to this account. Unfortunately, that became an obsession as I began trying too hard to please strangers that I will never meet, churning out at least a chapter a day but feeling no sense of exhaustion. However, that was a while back and I no longer have the luxury of sitting at my laptop with a cup of tea and typing away as if my grades were no big deals. 

Kpop has been dead to me for a while now. I'm sure most of you have realized judging solely from the fact that I take over a year to finish one story. I graduated from high school in 2014, having already lost track of the new groups that were debuting at a fast rate of almost a couple per month. I went into University to find that I could no longer maintain high grades as I used to in high school, thus, began pouring all my focus into my schooling and social life. Now, in my second year of my undergraduate degree, fanfiction doesn't carry the fun that it used to. Fandoms are losing their friendliness and are simply trying to devour each other in order to prove a point for a group of people who are just trying to do their job. I've been watching fans argue with each other over things that really doesn't affect them, so my friends and I began to distant ourselves away from Kpop.

It has been 2 years since I've considered myself a part of any fandom. 

That dying love had contributed to the death of many authors on this site. As you've probably have noticed, some of the top authors such as Goddess has been MIA since God-knows-when. Most of us no longer feel obligated to write anything - and we're not - which is why so many are dropping out to continue with our own individual lives. I'm sorry for promising sequels and more stories for some of you, but at one point, I actually thought that Kpop was going to be apart of my life for a lot longer than 10 years. Now that it isn't, and now that I have my post graduate study programs to prepare for, this site is no longer my private space where I can relax. No, this isn't just a message to explain why I'm retiring, but this is to remind everyone that Kpop is not what or how it used to be. It's too competitive, too scary, too repeated, and too...I don't know. 

I understand that I'm not of much importance to most of you, but I wanted to explain a possible reason why so many authors are leaving this community. I promise you that I will keep the stories as well as my account, and will occassionally visit to check for messages. If any of you guys have any questions in regards to my stories (Especially ending for Cottage in the Woods) then just message me and I will try to reply. Apart from that, I will no longer be typing any more stories and will be retiring from this website officially. 

Thank you to all 8000 of you for supporting me over the years. You've done more to my self-esteem and confidence than you will ever know. This will be the end of the road to es of Mr. Nam, We Got Married (Infinite Edition), Behind the Cameras, Innocent Desires, and many more. 

Thank you, and goodbye!
