Hello, everyone! Here to officially announce that I have uploaded the story onto my Ao3 and Tumblr accounts so go ahead and check me out. Don't know my Tumblr or Ao3 account? Well, that's not a problem go ahead and look at my profile for information.
Since, someone had questioned my decision to leave FF and join Ao3 and Tumblr (while, of course, reminding me that there are trolls everywhere) let me make something very clear to you:
1. If you are going to question my decisions, but send a review as a guest you are a coward. I would have loved to get to know you personally and have a discussion with you in private. However, you lost that opportunity. So, I decided to do it here.
For those who don't know what said guest sent to me in a review:
So that's it? You're going to let these people push you off this site? You're not going to try and fight this? You do realize that these people aren't limited to this site, don't you? They've been popping up everywhere lately. What happens when they join AO3? It will happen if it hasn't already, mark my words. Tumblr is already a lost cause. You can't get away from these people just by moving to a new website. You don't escape bullies by simply running away. You get rid of them by standing up to them.
Here is my response to you:
While you do have excellent points about trolls being on other sites and that you should stand up to bullies, you aren't telling me anything new.
Fanfiction admin has done absolutely nothing for me. Unlike AO3, I can't put up a claim and hope someone will get back to me.
I also don't like ppl questioning my decision. I'm an adult who has boundaries. And people on this site have crossed them repeatedly. If you can't leave a person alone after they asked you to stop and decided that death threats is a better way to do things, then I think it's time to move onto a site that I know is secure and has rules and has ways to PROTECT their users then that's a site I want to be with.
I haven't decided if I'm going to delete my stories on this site. I just won't be publishing or updating because that's MY choice.
As for standing up for myself and for my fellow authors, I have been. Long before I became an author in 2016. I have been on this site, encouraging, praising, reviewing, standing up, following, and favoriting writers and their stories since 2010. But, now I'm getting older and I'm fighting more difficult battles than dealing with immature brats. Instead of telling my haters to back off in a PM and continue on a site that doesn't make me feel safe or secure, I'll go elsewhere and you can find me but I'll be ready with a chapter or another story. I'll keep writing because that's how I stand up to my haters. And I have already found people on both Tumblr and AO3 that I do enjoy writing for.
Believe it.
I'm happy with my decision.
