Just someone who can't finish anything. Don't mind me. Look elsewhere.
Been making edits to The Upper-Crossed. Half considering changing the title, but I'm 7 chapters in and things are flowing better with less redundancy and ambiguity.
Also been editing my husband's books and discussing the plot/endings of my works with him.
To anyone who donated to my Patreon, I'm sorry for closing it down. I just can't produce work often enough to merit keeping it open.
Every time I scroll through my current reading list I get to the bottom and see that Upper Crossed was deleted and I sigh. I would still like to reread it even if it don't post more.
I hope you are doing well.
It will be back, it's just going to take a bit of time. UBI would make me more creatively productive, but Capitalism dictates otherwise.
your stories are wonderful, i am sorry to see them go, i hope you feel ready to repost them, someday, so that people can continue to love what you create
i understand the pressure of having an uncompleted story, just, sitting there, and wanting to remove it to take the pressure off. i really enjoyed your writing and hope you’re able to get back to it when you can. hope you are doing well. :3
sending love and light. You need to make the creative decisions you need to make, and if leaving first draft work up bothers you, thats okay. Just remember that perfection is the enemy of completion, and that you made transfems the world over smile with your work.
I am sad to see the stories have been removed. Has anyone saved them? Please, they were comfort reads for me, specially Daughter of Wisdom. And Kat, I hope you feel better to continue writing them. I am sorry to hear you are going through this, please stay safe.
I'm admittedly uncomfortable with unsanctioned copies of my writing floating around. After all, what's to stop a person from claiming my words as their own?
I plan on reposting them at some point, but it depends a lot on my ability to sustain my household without destroying my body in the process (fibro/CFS)
I write to tell a story with personal meaning. I know I'll never print a book with my name on it. I'm not polished enough, and my stories are fairly niche. But I want to finish them.
I think taking your stories down did nothing but disincentivize you from actually finishing them. I'm sad to see them go and do truly hope you finish them and bring them back.
I do plan on bringing them back. The problem was that by having 3 concurrent stories and splitting my time between them, the quality was not where I wanted it and the update schedules were non-existent. On top of having a very stressful full-time job, I also have disabilities, so I really bit off more than I could chew.
Understandable
I’m sad to see your stories go! I enjoyed them so much! Seeing you upload a chapter, no matter how rare, always made my day.
I was reading Meow Mix-Up, each time a new chapter came out; I rated the story 5 stars. Kind of sad to see it disappear, but if it's necessary, so be it, and thank you!
Please upload your stories again? Im used to writers taking long hiatuses, sometmes for like a year. But deleting it and making it impossible to enjoy rereading whats already published is different and doesnt feel nice.
I think I will do my best to work on my stories alone and when I feel they are far enough ahead to do so (approaching a conclusion) I can start reposting here. I know that most were not upset by the infrequency of my posts, but I did feel a lot of pressure to keep writing updates even when my brain and body couldn't handle it.
Upper Crossed was one of my favorites. I was looking forward to rereading it while waiting for another update. It's fine if you put a story on hiatus while taking care of more important things in your life. The most I could expect would be a comment on the story about it currently being infrequently updated.
I never want an author to feel guilty or discouraged when they can't update as often. Take care of yourself first, or you won't be able to do the things you want to add.
What happened to Meow Mix-Up?
It was a really fun read...
I will finish it when I can. If I ever successfully finish it, I can repost it. I just don't want to bother anyone with an incomplete story that takes months between chapter updates.
It isn't a bother.
I don't know what happened but you should know that i, and many others like me, really enjoy what you are writing.
I hope you'll come back when you feel ready. For now, i wish you all the best.
^^ very much this, hope you feel better soon
I have a full-time job and obligations throughout the week. It takes forever for me to post a chapter update. Splitting my attention between three stories, no matter how much I love them, doesn't get them done any faster. Rather than bother readers with inconsistent, sporadic updates, I'll just finish the stories offline (someday) and repost them when they're actually finished.
Sorry. I'll stop wasting everyone's time. I'm too slow and can't finish anything.
I wish you hadn't deleted your work, and I'm sorry to see you go. I hope you feel better soon- Upper Crossed was one of my favorites on the site. But more than that I hope you're doing well.
Good luck, and love yourself.
You sure haven't wasted my time.
You didn’t waste anyone’s time with updates, I think - they were more akin to pleasant, interesting and sometimes captivating surprises, in my opinion. But I can understand somewhat, how pressure from work, environment and other people could contribute to feeling like the updates were inherently a bother. Whatever happens - I hope to see these stories again and I wish you well.
@Ashendale puts it very well. They expressed my thoughts and feelings better than I could. Wishing you the best.
