Chapter Text
Hi, it's been a little bit.
I've always planned to continue this story despite it having been a few months since I've updated, which I have a few reasons for, but that's not quite important right now.
Most of you will probably have heard about Wilbur and what he's done, if you haven't, go look into it.
All my support goes to Shelby and I hope she is doing alright or will be better soon. I no longer support Wilbur.
This feels a bit cheap and dodgy to be talking about fan fiction when a serious issue has just been brought to light, and obviously this is the least important thing right now, but I figured I should talk about whether I'll be going forward with this story.
It doesn't feel right to be writing about Wilbur, even if it's not real-life him and it's his character instead, because they're still very much the same in a lot of ways.
But I still have a lot of love for this story and have been kind of genuinely proud of parts of it, and I don't want it tainted.
So, I think I've decided I will go forward with the story, but now without Wilbur in it. I don't think there's any way I can write him disappearing some way in and have it make sense, so I'll probably just have him gone completely by next chapter and not address it. It'll be a little confusing, but I feel it's important, and I don't want to write him in any positive light or come across as if I support him or am dismissive of what he's done by keeping him in.
All love to Shelby, this is and should be about supporting her. I'm sorry I have to bring Wilbur up, it just unfortunately should be mentioned to go forward.
I hope any victims that have not come out about their personal dealings with abuse can see the support going Shelby's way and feel the love, and maybe help them get the courage to talk about their own experiences.
