I've officially given up on Fanfiction.

Not that it's a bad website or anything...that's not what this is about. Just let me explain why all of my stories have suddenly "disappeared"...since for the last 24 hours, that's what people have been freaking out about.

I'm sorry for the sudden and unexpected leave, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am quitting. Not because I'm heartless, but because I'm sick and tired of feeling pressured and trying to please all my readers at once. In doing so, it's sucked all the joy out of writing for me. Not to throw myself a pity party, but it is my fault. I'm the one who allowed this dramafest to happen by being negligent and irresponsible with my writing.

Never fear- the stories are not gone forever. They've been safely stored away; Bending Reality and the Baby Boom series, to name a few. I've kept them for my own personal keepsake, just in case I ever want to reread them when I'm old and grumpy.

You should know that I'm not doing this out of spite or hatred for any of you. In fact, because of you all, I've had many fun times on this website...not to sound cheesy. But lately, I've lost that energy and motivation I once had to write stories and post them avidly. I've learned a valuable lesson about what you put on the internet, and how easily your own creative work can be taken away from you. These past few months have been very painful, but I'm finally able to move on now that I've made my decision.

The characters that we all dearly love: Lovably grouchy grizzly bear Freddy, sweet and sensible Bonnie, honest and witty Foxy, caring and motherly Chica... aaaand the rest of the gang (as forgettable as some of them are). This is gonna sound super corny, but it's the gospel truth when I say that these characters will always have a special place in my heart. They're the ones who helped me discover who I am, and what I strive to be someday, whether it be a writer or an artist (a passion I've had since I was a little girl). But don't worry about me; I'll walk that bridge when I get to it.

So, all mushiness aside, I just want to say thank you for all the favorites, all the followers, all the kind reviews...even the critics. Thanks for being here and giving me a chance that not everyone on this website gets. It was fun. :)

And also, I'm sorry for the disappointment about the removal of all my remaining stories. But you all should know that this was a personal choice that I had to make. I just couldn't take the stress anymore. I'm ready to move on from FanFiction, meaning I probably won't post anything anymore. Respectfully, this is just my final goodbye, and final apology. I hope you all understand.

Finally, to those of you who have taken any of my stories/art and reposted them elsewhere...I kindly ask that you remove them. I would very much appreciate it.

Sincerely,

KudleyFan93
