Once the thrill expires pt 2 when? 🥺🥺🥺

ahhhhhhhhhh about this

ive been debating for a little while over it and have the bones of the second part (about 4k words in total) and I just... I think it should be left as a one shot :(

[ask-alphabetboyluvr]

i'm not trying to be offensive, this is a genuine question

why did you publish 'otte' if you're not going to be writing a second part? i get that it might be damaging to your mental health and it's personal, but then, why publish something that messes w you emotionally at all? and if you're not trying to 'actively be in diz's headspace' at all? i'm not asking you to revisit trauma or anything, but i'm sure you'd know that quite a lot of readers do like the story and would want a second part, right?

it's a genuine question, because there's no way that the possibility of people wanting a second part didn't cross your mind at all lmao

no offense taken, but this ask did irk me a little bit, so lets chat.

i personally enjoy stories that rip my heart out a little and leave me reeling. it ended in the way that it did because that's how i wanted it to end. i enjoy ambiguity and unresolved endings in stories.

one of my favourite books ends in such a way I couldn't even watch the final episode of the tv adaptation until a few years later because it upset me so much - and it's still my favourite book.

people are fickle, myself included. just because I was comfortable writing and publishing something 9 months ago doesn't mean I am now. if you were to know me irl, you'd know my situation has changed a lot since I wrote and published otte, especially in regards to the subject matter.

you could ask 'why don't you delete it?' and the answer would be that I can ignore the presence of otte in my notes (of which it rarely is these days), but I wouldn't be able to ignore repeated asks about it in my inbox. I've been doing this for long enough now to know how it plays out when I delete my work. it's easier for everyone to just let it linger.

i knew people wouldn't be happy with the way it ended, but if you want a cookie-cutter happy ending, there are plenty of stories that do exactly that. I've got a bunch myself.

are you saying no writers should ever write anything that deviates from your preferences? that all stories have to end in the way you'd like them to? 'cause the fic-sphere would be a boring place if we all wrote the same things, with the same outcome to satisfy the same needs.

and no offense to you either, but no writer owes you a part two of anything, let alone something written on their own time, even if you do enjoy it.

reader expectations don't really cross my mind for one shots so no i didn't think about it in the same way i do with ongoing fics. lmao.

Sto pensando se fare delle pull sperando di prendere uno dei due archi per Yelan dato che sono entrambi ottimi o aspettare per Focalors, ma probabilmente aspetterò 🦦

can confirm, yes

[ask-alphabetboyluvr]

Hi! I recently found you on wp and have been going through your works and omg I cannot get over “once the thrill expires!”😭

I saw on your tumblr a snippet of a part 2 and then I saw your little reel on insta about it like 10 years in future? Please tell me you will post a part 2 soon? 🙏

Don’t even need a happy ending where JK and OC to get together as realistically they probably wouldn’t and shouldn’t get together, but I’d love to see what happened and hope that oc found someone who will treat her better (coz I don’t think JK deserves her after that shit he pulled ☹️)

I've gone back and forth on my answer to this before and ahhhhhhhhh. never say never but also no promises

Virgo boy has been giving me reasons to finish off the pt 2 recently hahaha

I do know how the next chapter plays out, it's just a case of sitting down and committing to emotional labour if it all 🥲

thank you for the interest in it! really nice to hear you enjoyed it ♡ (or maybe not enjoyed (but u know what I mean (glad it made an impact)))
