Author Note + Sequel Possibilities

Hello! This is Pippa here, author of 'Numb'. It's been a long time, hasn't it?

I've changed my user to 'pippa-pie', but I'm still me!

I posted 'Numb' roughly four years ago. I feel it was one of the last significant fanfics I posted here before fading away from FFN. To my surprise, it's one of my most popular pieces - often I still receive e-mails from favorites and follows this work still receives, to my surprise and happiness. It was an angsty, emotionally charged piece written quickly back in the day. I never imagined it would get this much praise. I've edited it a smidge, and the thought a giving it a total make-over in terms of diction is enticing, tbh.

I would love to return to FFN, though my life I so scattered and busy - writing is still a great forgotten love of mine (I haven't written fic in a long, long, time). I often think the 5Ds fandom is too bare to even try and recreate the feeling here back in the day, but in any case...

Thank you for loving Numb. I'm sorry I never replied to any reviews, but they mean a lot to me and the curiosity delights me as well. That said - I'm thinking of posting a follow-up to Numb. It would be an additionally chapter to this, most likely. What do you think?

...I don't even know if any of you are reading this right now, or would even care. Many of you have forgotten me, I should think. But I'm feeling v nostalgic. Thank you all for everything :*
