Okay.
I know when I posted my first story on here almost a year and a half ago, I was big into x Readers. And that's why you guys started watching me. You came here for Reader Insert fanfictions, and that's what you received.
In the beginning, I was in seventh grade: school was a cakewalk, I could glide with no problems aside from the occasional essay. I uploaded fanfictions 2-3 times a month. The ones I wrote in the beginning were sub-par—they were formatted incorrectly, used improper capitalization, and were often written very passively. And in the two years I've been on dA, I have improved so, so much from writing these. I can't even begin to count the ways I've gotten better in two years—so much more than the first stretch of my writing, from when I started when I was nine up until when I was twelve. My sweet spot on here was barely a year, which was so much less than what I wanted it to be. I pictured myself writing x Readers until very, very far in the future.
And with much melancholy, I have to tell you guys that this will not be the case. I think we all saw it coming—I did, anyway. My last story on here was uploaded almost a year ago, and while I've made several hollow promises to get back into them, high school is truly dragging me down. Luckily for me, my writing spirit has been somewhat rekindled, and you can check me out over on my Ao3.
Which brings me to my final topic. Personally, I'm just not feeling Reader Inserts anymore. Sure, every once and a while i'll look one up when I'm not in the mood for any other kind of fanfiction, but writing them has become a daunting task. It's like revisiting an old fandom which you've since left—I can still admire the work put into them and the people who enjoy them, but for me, they aren't as "entertaining" as they used to be.
Who knows what the future holds for me on deviantArt! Maybe one day i'll get a tablet and upload art, maybe i'll post some of my other fanfics here someday, maybe i'll post my photography or cosplay once I can afford to have the materials needed for those passions of mine. I'll still be on here, uploading journals, answering comments (when I can) and commenting and favoriting works. What will come next for me is unknown, but I know it'll be great.
Thank you, all of you, for two amazing years.

Oh my lordy guys I deeply apologize for not being on here ever lmao
I'm gonna put it out here again: School's a bitch, I've been getting behind on my homework because fuck dat shit, and I've written maybe one fanfiction in the past 6 months. (which i will post here, it's razzabang and really bad but it's something)
Soups sorry for not being here. I'm gonna get my school-life back together, and then i'll start writing again.
I'm going to continue stuffing my face with pretzels and calling it "breakfast" now.
(also happy 2015 i kinda missed that date haha)

Me: Wow, I think I'm getting back into writing! I wrote almost 2,000 words for this book in an hour!
Teachers: Oh, really? That's nice. Y'know what, since you're all about writing, how about we give you 400 BILLION GODDAMN ASSIGNMENTS ALL DUE WITHIN THE SPAN OF A WEEK SOUNDS GOOD HUH YOU REALLY LIKE WRITING SO YOU'LL DO FINE
If you haven't noticed, I'm a little bit stressed out about school.
I just got my semester grades back (gag) and they were [drumroll]...mostly C's. I mean, it's what I was expecting, but it still felt like I was punched in the gut by someone wearing spiked gloves. And the spikes had spikes and Rob Lowe was there and he laughed at me. I do not want to be laughed at by Rob Lowe.
Can you tell that my past two weeks have been a long, drawn-out mental breakdown?
Seriously, I've almost given up on doing all homework to become the girl that 5SOS sings about in Try Hard. Honestly, if the colors in my hair never seemed to fade, I would have a lot more money for Christmas presents and a lot less spent on hair dye. (is quoting the lyrics copyright infringement? fuck)
Speaking of Christmas, my teachers are cramming all the work we should've completed in a month's time into the two weeks before winter break. Not to mention I've already gotten a "gift cards have no sentiment" speech from one of my friends the day after I got one for her and I wanted to say "WELL MAYBE IF YOU HADN'T CRITICIZED THE 'TOTES AMAZE' SWEATER I BOUGHT WHILE THINKING OF YOU A MONTH AGO WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM HMM" but really I just said "I know, right?" and then awkwardly moved to work in another part of the room.
tl;dr My life is falling apart.
The only thing I'm looking up to is the fact that the cute guy I was talking about when the school year started is starting to show some interest. I'm choosing to ignore the fact that he has a really nice friend who is 10 times prettier than me and has a huge crush on him. I need a love interest in my life right now.
I'm gonna go watch The Nightmare Before Christmas again.
