Hi everyone, author here. It's been a few weeks, and I'm truly sorry about that.
Those of you who follow me and got a notification about the announcement I made on my wall may already know what this is about.
Things have gotten really busy for me. Sadly, it's come to the point where my current schedule doesn't allow me to write and edit full chapters in a week's time consistently. If you didn't get to read that announcement I mentioned, I really recommend you head over to my wall to read it because I explained a lot of things there that I think you guys should have in mind.
Now, onto the title of this chapter... I tried to write a full chapter in two week's time and failed. Trust me, going on hiatus is the last thing I wanted. I've noticed how many of you read, comment, and vote on the new chapters on the very day I update it, and it really means the world to me. I read every single comment, and seeing how much you guys are enjoying my story makes having to make this announcement so much harder.
I love this story. I love writing it, I love getting to see how you guys feel about it, I love getting excited and happy with you on the happy parts and I love cackling at your frustrated comments about say, Jiho and Chaewon. It brings me a lot of joy and I want you to know that my love and passion for the story haven't changed. Not in the slightest– getting to share this experience with you guys, having an audience who is just as passionate about the things I write as I am about writing them, only enhances this experience for me.
It's because of all of that that I had to make this decision. I don't want to rush half-baked chapters out that I'm not proud of and that leave me lost on what to write next because I had just enough time to write one chapter and published it for the sake of being consistent without thinking of what could come immediately after it. I don't want to bring you chapters that are just filler for the sake of updating weekly or bimonthly. I want to give you the best of my writing abilities, and with my current schedule, I had to come to the hard decision that I can't do that without going on an indefinite hiatus.
And before any of you freak out or get sad– no, I promise you that doesn't mean I won't finish the story. It doesn't even mean I'll stop writing or take a break. In this case, all it means is that I'll stop updating for some time, and I don't know for how long yet, because I want to take my time to write. Like I mentioned in the announcement on my wall, the end of this story is in the horizon. It's not super close, but we're not that far from it either. So I want to write as much as I can "offline" if you will, and then, when I have a good number of chapters ready (possibly even once I've finished the story), start publishing them for you guys weekly like I had been before. Or who knows, I could always just dump them all on you in one day–
What would you guys prefer? Please comment below the option you guys prefer. I'm going on hiatus to finish the book, but when it's done, would you rather have:
Weekly updates until the story ends: I like the suspense of having to wait between chapters and look forward to the upcoming week to know what happens.
Daily updates until the story ends: I like a little bit of suspense for what comes next, but not too much. I would love to have a new chapter to read every day!
The whole rest of the book in one day: the story would already be finished anyway! I like to binge-read, and want all of the chapters out in and not have to wait to know what happens next.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this author's note/ announcement. I'm so sorry if you saw this notification and thought it was a new chapter– that's why I never usually do this and instead do announcements on my wall, because I don't want to disappoint my readers like that, but I thought it was necessary this time, because not all of my readers follow me, but of course, all of my readers deserve to know what's going on.
I hope you keep this story in your library and again, I'm sorry I can't keep going like I used to. I tried, I really tried very hard to not have it come to this, but at a certain point, it's out of my hands. I thank you all again, and if there's anything you want to say or ask, please, go ahead.
Lastly, have a wonderful day. Can't wait to see you all again when I've completed my first story ever :') <3
