Chapter Text
Hello to anyone who clicked on this chapter, it's Lunar here!
This feels so weird if I'm being completely honest. I forgot about this messy little work and now it's been TWO YEARS since I started it. (oh my god i was a fetus when i started this wtf was i doing in 2023) I do have some things I want to talk about but for those of you who honestly don't care (which is fine), you might want to skip this one.
So what happened? Why did I suddenly stop writing, and why have I been gone for so long? Now I'm sure a lot of you know about the CC drama, so I'm not gonna get into that, but that... is pretty much why. Even if he was a character, I felt uncomfy writing about Dream in any sense. I couldn't exactly edit him out seeing as he's literally the main character, so I lost motivation, and kept telling myself I would write soon, but I kept putting it off. I was already on the fence about continuing this fic anyways, because I was falling out of love with it, and writing it became a massive chore for me. The CC thing was just my awakening that, hey, I'm actually not required to finish this. Also, I am genuinely not proud of this fic. This fic contains some of my worst work and writing that I've done in years. My fucking Warrior Cats OC fanfiction that I made years ago is better than what's in this fic. Somehow some of you liked it though, so I guess it's a win? Anyways, another huge thing that caused me to stop was my mental health, which was spiralling downhill very fast during this time. I've gotten a lot better now, but I wasn't in a good place while writing this. Plus, the combo of writer's block, the stresses of moving and school, taking care of kittens, and getting into new fandoms had me to the point where I wasn't writing at all, wasn't coming up with any new ideas, anything like that. I have actually written and posted other fics on here, but deleted three of them and orphaned the other two because of another CC's outing as a shitty person. After this disaster of an unfinished fic, I wanted to instead post fics that were already completed previously, so that if I lost motivation again, I wouldn't be letting anyone down. I had a handful of in progress works for this fandom that are rotting in my google docs but to be honest I've kind of left the fandom. I still appreciate what this fandom's been to me in the past but I just don't feel passionate about it anymore. Someday I might finish my fics that I started and those'll get posted but honestly who knows. Maybe I'll write again with a new fandom at some point *squints at Lifesteal, KPDH, and CRK suspiciously* but for now I think this is it.
I want to thank every person who read, kudosed, commented, or god forbid BOOKMARKED this. Really. It's not that good of a fic hahah. Whether you've been here since day 1 or are just finding this now, thank you for everything you all did for this work.
