Disclaimer that I've never read your works and just stumbled upon your latest post but I wanted to say: don't give up on writing. I was bullied on the internet for my writing/art when I was younger but I kept doing it because *I* liked it. Now I'm older, writing an actual novel, and have a small cult following on ao3. I also received fanart of my ocs once! Take a break from posting if you want, but don't give up 🫶 your work always has value, especially if you love making it. The people taking time out of their day to be mean to you about it aren't worth your thoughts

thank you so much, this really made my day better 🩷

Why I am leaving AO3 and Wattpad - An explanation for my inactivity.

I've been dealing with bullies, mostly on Wattpad. I write for FUN and I literally have disclaimers at the start of my stories that I'm not a professional.

Somehow people think it's okay to bully me for everything, even my chapter titles, which I was proud of. I feel so defeated and I don't want to write ever again. Writing was my safe space FROM bullying, and now I'm being bullied because of that too.

I'm trying to put my mental health first and I'm logging out. Thank you for the support, especially from the Starlight Express fans.

I don't think anyone cares enough to read this, but you know. I'm in a lot of pain but I'll be ok. I'll survive like I always do even if I have to cry. Anyway. Just be kind and stop spreading hate. Humans need each other. Be gentle.
