Hey, so uhhh. I don't know when I started reading this fic but Im pretty sure it was a long time ago. Ever since the fanfiction app came out, I immediately searched forthis fic. I forgot the title but I clearly remembered the author's name.
I'm quite saddened by the fact thattbis will no longer continue, I've been waitibg for an update for sooo long.

Anyway,I wanted to apologise for never writing a single review. I just get so anxious when I do that. It takes me forever to write a decent message without worrying about grammar, spelling or a response i might get, mostly about negative ones. I've been meaning to write but I succumb to anxiety.

What I wanted to say is that although im saddened I am also happy to experience the wonderful story you have created. I was achiod longing for more content of hxh where I felt like I could be a part of that world. You oh wonderful writer gave exactly what I wanted. Up until now I eagerly awaited the next part and despite it being officially over I am not entirely dissatisfied by it. Your world leaves enough space for my own imagination to continue it. I am glad for it.

Thank you so much for the wonderful fanfiction. I love this and will continue to love it despite its ending. I will continue to view you as an amazing and wonderful author. So please accept my wholehearted thank you.

You faced a lot of difficulties when it comes to writing this and I understand your situation. I hope others would accept your decision and refrain from making negative comments.

Thank you and good bye "A Fallen Star"

My god this fic was my favorite for so long, I actually printed out whole chapters for a long while cause I didn't have wifi in my room.
I wish you all the best.

I just read fallen star this year and it gave me fun when reading it. Thank you author.

Thank you for everything. I remember secretly reading your fic and other OCxCharacter fics in middle school. Yours was among the best and one of my favorite. Now that you have reminded me, it really shows to me how different fandom culture is now from back then. Time flies! By the way, your story of how you acknowledged homosexuality is very similar to mine and I'm grateful you put it in better words than I could ever write.
Good luck and stay safe! I'm glad you seem to have done well for yourself. From reader to author, 3

Thank you so much for coming back even if to just tie up so loose ends. The plot twist of Dusky being a figment of Wind’s imagination- did not see that coming aIGHT

This story encompassed much of my own childhood even if I come back to re-read it and find some bits of it cringe it’s always such a pleasure to read and the nostalgia that hits is amazing. Kudos to your 12-14 year old self for writing such an amazing work and all the best for your future endeavors.

Thank you for sharing the ending; honestly, that twist about the wishes and Dusky's existence was super interesting—like, dang, you thought of that ten years ago? Anyway, I'm super grateful for this, and I appreciate the fact that you gave 13-year-old me some closure as well. I remember this fondly as probably the first long fanfic I ever got into, but just like you, when I tried to read it some months ago, it just didn't hit right.

In a weird way, part of it was the situation with gender in this stort, but after hearing your kind words about how this fanfic is a product of its time and how it can be difficult to just "be educated" and flip your worldview for the sake of liberal morality (not that I disagree with liberal values, I whole-heartedly agree now), I'm also weirdly healed, too? Like, dang, I wish someone had let me down gently like you described even just a couple months ago; it's really freaking hard to be like, hey, I've just been called an asshole, moral wretch, and on-the-edge-of-no-contact relative for something I've never in my dang short two decades ever learned, and just, take the hit, go researching for a whole 24-hours, apologize for my depravity and ignorance, and somehow go on with my life still caring for someone who literally wanted to cut me off for not understanding gender and sexuality (in a prude as hell household and society). I understand the moral obligation to educate yourself to avoid hurting others, and I know it's best to speak up and be direct, and I don't fault that person at all, but give a pal a moment to think and heal before taking me to moral court...

Alright, I'm venting here—sorry for that—but, like, dang, even your author's notes make me heal even today, a whole decade-ish later. (I stan.) Anyway. Just know that, from the way you write now, from the little in the note I see, even with that harsh comment, I believe you've grown into an understanding, compassionate person who can even just remotely empathize with how difficult it is to break years of spoon-fed, mind-washing conservatism. For that, I whole-heartedly thank you (and wish to emulate and pass on the empathy, too!).

Anyway, to put an end to this obnoxious comment, I hope you continue to write all the things you love and continue to enjoy yourself and explore creativity and writing from now on. Thank you for everything.

Thank you so much for taking the time to message us all and to let us know. I've really enjoyed reading this fanfic for a long time (I think I starting reading this fanfic after discovering it on your account from when you were writing your awesome KHR fanfic which I absolutely adored reading) and this fanfic will always hold a special place in my heart, having grown with it. I'm a bit sad that you've decided to stop writing this, but at the same time, I completely understand! People grow up and change and I also think about how I just can't get into things that I used to as a kid anymore (sometimes I get a bit sad about it but it's also a part of life and I think people gradually learn to accept that). And thank you for telling us about this because I feel like we can get a bit of closure from knowing this as being the final decision for this fanfic because for me, I'll always remember this fanfic. Also, thank you for telling us the outline you had planned for it too! It was nice to just imagine for one last time Wind going through her journey with her friends and reaching an ending.

Hahah, I'm not sure why a few people said this is homophobic? It's interesting how some can pick things out from things that have absolutely no relation to it. I agree with your thoughts on politics and such discussions becoming quite "heated" as you say. It's also one of the reasons that I just avoid it altogether due to the very draining nature of it when actually trying to discuss. Some people just like to make a problem out of something that doesn't exist or perhaps they're projecting but... I digress because IMMA YEET THESE THOUGHTS OUTTA HERE BEFORE IT JUST BECOMES ONE WHOLE COMMENT ABOUT NEGATIVITY. Though the bit about someone commenting "I hope you've been educated" is not only disturbing to me but also slightly shocking. The amount of arrogance and ego from that comment that someone typed... Looking into who wrote it, I can only assume that's the type of environment they grew up in to have thoughts like that. Every community seems have some amount of toxicity in it-that's not to say that it's okay for them to do that though! But I think a way to fight it is for people to surround themselves with more positive things because I know how humans tend focus more on the negative than positive for some odd reason. I also believe that there are a lot of good people in this world too. It's just that the small minority that aren't have a louder voice hahah.

Sorry that this comment ended up being quite long winded (I kinda lost track of what I was talking about in the end lol). Thank you so much again on updating us about your decision for this fanfic! I feel a sense of closure for my younger self that started reading this fanfic and fell in love with it XD I hope you'll end up coming back to this fanfiction community from time to time because I do truly enjoy reading what you write as I've read your other fanfics too and I would love anything that you write. Though I also understand that IRL stuff is a much more important thing to focus on.
Take care xx

Hey! Nice to see you. I know it's been a long time, but I did read and follow this as a kid. I'm younger than you, by three years, it seems, and I appreciated this fanfic a lot. I can't really put a finger on what particularly I appreciated. It has been years, after all, since I've read this, but this fanfic's title stuck to me so much that I saw this updated and clicked on it immediately.

It's sad how it seems we've missed a lot of ideas and story plotlines, but at least you've laid it out here for us to know and possibly wonder about all the specifics on what could have happened.

Either way, I'm glad to see this notice and I'm glad to hear from you. I hope you have a wonderful life ahead of you. Farewell.

I don't think I've ever reviewed your fic before (sorry about that), but this has been one of the first few fics I had ever read in my life, back when I was a kid, so I have a lot of fond memories of it as well. It had stayed at the back of my mind for years, and I can surprisingly remember a lot of the events going on in this fic, even though I had never re-read it since my first binge-through. My absolute favourite arc definitely has to be when Wind returned 'home' to her palace.

I totally understand why you're abandoning it I just gave to say, 12-year-old you had some really amazing ideas going on here, and it's great to see how creative and wild kids can be. I'm wishing you (ha - get it?) luck for all your future endeavours; all the best!

Thank you for posting this and giving us a proper closure!
I won't lie and say I was constantly checking on this fic, but it was definitely hovering in the back of my mind and I held my breath when your name popped up on my Favourite List's latest update.
Please take care of yourself, and good luck to all your endeavours! 3

It’s honestly been so long that I almost forgot this fic existed and I don’t usually read HunterxHunter, but your writing brought me into it. I’m glad that you wrote to us as readers and gave us this sense of closure for A Fallen Star. I really hope that it can remain up, if only as a memento of what it was like years ago when you were writing and we were reading for the first time.

Thanks for the good times and I hope you’re doing well in your job and life 3

This was one of the first fictions I ever read on the site, must have been around 12 ish back then as well. Good to know that you didn' die or worse lol. On a serious note though, it was refreshing to see this being updated after so long, even if it was just a huge author note. So thank you for that sight feeling of nostalgia, I hope that everything goes well for you in the future.

This was a really nostalgic part of my childhood too, and I’m really really happy to say that you and your stories had a huge impact on my roughly 10-12 year old self. This was a lovely and fun read & it brought me endless wonder when I was younger. I fully understand your decision to drop this story; we’ve all grown and I myself can’t imagine reading all of this again and enjoying it as much as I did back then. Even so, thank you for giving us closure. Hope to see more of your writing if you feel up to it in the future! (Can’t review on 60 bc apparently I’ve already done it, so here I am)

So, this comes across as mildly homophobic... you might want to look into fixing the wording. It’s also bi-erasure... I know that probably isn’t your meaning but...

Hi! I just finished all the chapters after binging for a while :D. This Fanfic was AMAZING! I loved the way Killua acted (he is just sooooo cute) and couldn't help but think how cute he was with Wind. I thought that the girl Gon was really funny and laughed pretty hard considering I don't laugh much. I'm pretty sad that it ended with a cliff hanger... I just really wanted to see Kurapika's reaction to seeing who Dusky was. I usually read fanfics bc it helps me get over the anime (I tend to get slightly depressed after finishing an amazing anime... just cuz it's gone) and this fanfic was just perfect for that! THANK-YOU SOOOOO MUCH! I hope you can realize that your legacy will continue for years after. And to be honest, if you were an author I would definitely buy yr books as I like your writing style. Thank-you again for writing it was way to amazing!
