A/N: Hey everyone, I think you all know where this is going but I have to make a post on it because I don't want to leave anyone in the dark. I've gained so much over the years from this fanfic and I cannot let it sit without saying something first.

So yes, ZPIC will being going on an indefinite hiatus. This isn't just like my other hiatuses where I've been busy with school or intend to work on other projects (which I do, but bare with me), or devoted time to editing earlier chapters-this is different. I'm not sure if you've picked up from the last chapter, but it-at least to me-was lacking a lot substance that ZPIC usually had. And it's because I'm drained. I hate to say it, but the Zootopia fandom sort of died off and well, my spirit for it isn't the same as it was. I even have a Zootopia AU in the works but motivation to follow through is just lacking because I don't feel the sense of community I once did.

Zootopia is a great movie, and so is its fandom, but... I just can't bring myself up to the motivation of writing for it. It isn't like my other Writer's Blocks or procrastination periods, this was a deliberate lack of motivation. And I feel ugly for saying this. I legitimately feel terrible for even uttering how I cannot find the strength to write for this fic. Because none of you deserve that. I had a good amount of dedicated followers who stuck through, constantly reviewing for every chapter and I cherish their commitments. Olivia Venisont was a character created by the fans, for the fans too! I love writing her personality and was glad some people got their fair share of interest in her (though I am aware I made the story too driven by her at times). I also continued to include other OCs and characters fans shot at me because I promised I'd do so. Nearly every background character named after Olivia's appearance was a name taken from a review or PM. All in all, I'm trying to say that I do care about you guy and do appreciate all you've done for me.

I hate that I have to do this.

I hate that I need to take a step away, because I know I've gotten a decent accumulation of new followers and they're just now joining in only to see the series stop. I hate that I have to move on because those of you who do follow me know that I'm not stopping. I have so much more I want to write. I have many other fandoms I want to get involved with, dozens of other oneshots or fic ideas I want to explore-but ZPIC held me back because I felt obligated to continue it. Of course this doesn't look good for me at all.

"Wow, two fic series that went on hiatuses? I wonder how the third one's gonna go!"

To be fair, Legends of Avatar is different because the Avatar community is still strong and I genuinely do have interests in constantly reinvesting into it. And it's not as serious as ZPIC, it still has a casual pace. Magic Between the Moon & Sky is a oneshot series I've loved because it lacks the necessities of a full blown story, it's just oneshots. My Miraculous Ladybug oneshots are the same thing too.

I'm not saying this to plug my other works, I'm just saying it's not fair.

It's not fair that you've had to wait for months and months for a good story when it's not coming. But it's also not fair my other fans and readers have to wait for updates that won't come because of this fic's priority. MBTBS followers deserve more oneshots because of the recent season's post. LoA deserve updates because it's for an unpopular ship with an interesting idea people want to see explored. ML and others, they need to be written because as a writer I will die if I keep these WIPs in my vault any longer.

And that as well: I am a writer. I have short stories I am writing and want to work on, plus university. So much has happened but at the end of every single day I would remember ZPIC and that, "Dude you still got a chapter to work on." LoA would have to wait, "ZPIC needs an update." MBTBS can take a pause, "ZPIC needs an update." My other fandoms I want to write for can stay in the dark for a bit, "ZPIC needs an update."

So yeah... this has been haunting my brain for a long time and I need to do this.

If Zootopia 2 comes out, maybe then I'll be sparked with creativity and motivation again, but I sincerely doubt it because that's not really a focus right now. If I want to be a writer, then I'll need to write. And I can't write if my pen's clipped and out of ink.

I'm restocking, essentially.

And I am terribly sorry that it's inconvenienced all of you.

You guys still hold special places in my heart, because you started my path and I owe you so much. The least I could do, is tell you the why before I close it off. Feel free to flame my reviews, I deserve it.

So yes, Zootopia: Partners in Crime, is now officially on an indefinite hiatus.

Until next time,

- Bleh
