Invite me to your memory.
Just sing,
sing again, for me.
(for me)
That long forgotten song.


I'm gonna go ahead and make this official.

I am quitting writing for a while.

This is just so everyone knows it. Don't both heckling me for updates or begging me to change my mind. I do not question my talents as a writer, rather, I no longer feel the desire to write.

I'm sorry to anyone upset by this choice, but it is my own, and made in accordance to my life style right now.

I'll pick it back up when I'm ready to.

Thank you to everyone who read my writing and supported me these past four years, from the ff.net days to now. I understand that I personally played a huge role in getting MEST slash recognised, and I am still regarded as a notorious member of the slash writing communities. For the fame and recognition and love, I am very grateful.

Thank you for every single review I ever received. I can't properly express how much those few lines from someone who cared meant to me.

For a while, this journal and my fans was one of the few reasons to get up in the morning.

I don't love it any less now, nor do I appreciate you any less. I just feel that I need some time. I don't think it's healthy to rely on kind words from strangers just to keep from slitting your wrists.

So. In short. Thank you so much to everyone. Thank you to the bands that will never read this. Thank you to the kids that did read this. Thank you for telling me I had talent when I didn't believe it. Thank you for the support and love and recognition.

Just thanks.

Let me be all the words, echo in comoft.
Let me feel the words, that you'd unsay.
Let me be all the words, echo in comfort.
comfort, comfort, comfort.
Let me feel the words, that you'd unsay.
unsay, unsay, unsay.

hell, I haven't been in the mood to actually write any stories in at least a year or so. Lately, it's been more poetry and letters to people (I'm seriously doing a letter from David to Steven...keeps me occupied during my free time in class).

Besides...RPs can keep you sustained until you get the urge to write again. Heh.

While slash won't be the same without you, I'd say this is a brave step. Leaving something behind that you've cared about so strongly for such a long time is hard and I respect that self control. Your stories will remain timeless and I know people will keep reading them for as long as they're accessible.

Anyway. Good luck. And we'll miss you.

I'm sorry I wont be seeing you around but I respect your decision and I promise to to heckle you. I do just want to say that you are a very talented person and you've inspired me more than you will ever know, despite that fact that I've never even talked to you!

Going to miss getting on my LJ and praying to see story updates from you, but at the same time I'm sure you put a lot of thought into this decision, so I'll support you on it 100%.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Talk to you soon!

I have never talked to you and probaly never will but you're writing has probably been... No, I take that back, HAS been the most influential pieces of work I've ever read. If I had like... one THOUSANDTH of your talent, I'd be way past content. I've never had an author make situations that anyone else would make seem awkward seem PERFECT. I've never read a story with such awesome wording that I'm tirading to my PARENTS about how much an IDIOT i feel just reading it and knowing I don't have anywhere near half the vocabulary you have. It's just... amazing what you've done...

You're a legend. Honestly.

I support your desicion to stop... however, I will ALWAYS be awaiting the day you return.

Though I've never actually talked to you, I've followed your writing for quite a while. You're a legend, you know. You should be so proud of yourself. It'll be weird not to see any updates from you, but I totally respect your decision and can't wait until the day when you pick it up again. I just have to say that I'm almost 100% sure that your stories have touched everyone who's read them in someway, whether they've been in the situation you've portrayed or whatever. I’ve had an amazing time reading your stories and I hope you realize how many people love and respect you.

Hi. I don't have an lj but i just want to say something. I love your writing. Out of all the things and books i've read your my favorite author. Some of your stuff is just amazing and i don't know how to put it but i wish i had half the talent at writing that you do. I think you'll be an actual published author one day. you have something and you probably don't think you do but it's there. i hoope you come back sometime..

first: this looks awfully familiar. don't know how/if you want to deal with it, but there it is.

second: this news makes me so sad, you'll be extremely missed. take care of yourself, girl.

you are an extremely talented person, and i wish you all the best.

I dont think I respect your decision.
I may beg in the coming months.
You'll have to put up with my whining or duct tape my mouth and then I'll just train my rectum to talk.

You can write and you ought to.
sister and job and exhaustion aside.
it's what you do and you are brilliant at it.

I'll always be proud of you.
