*TLDR at the bottom, as well as the probable status of all of my current posted fics*

Hey y'all, WhiteRosePhoenix here! I know I haven't updated in quite a while, but I am working on that, I swear! Life and school has been pretty chaotic for a while, and there have been quite a few personal things I've had to figure out before I could get back to my work.

Recently especially, before this break, I realized that I was going through some stuff that I was mistakenly projecting onto my work. I am working through this, but due to this, I have had to scrap a lot of ideas and plots and characters that I had been working on for my current stories.

Where am I going with this notice? I have no clue!

But in all seriousness, because of this, there are quite a few major changes that are going to be coming to my account. I'll likely either end up taking down or completely rewriting some of the pieces I have posted, especially because of one more tidbit. I completely lost the notebooks I was writing most of these stories in.

I'm a writer that works best when I can put a pen to paper for my main ideas, and then really hone in on these ideas and edit them online. However, due to the absolute chaos my life has been, some of the notebooks I had my ideas for my posted stories in have disappeared. Honestly, I came up with these ideas so long ago, I don't even remember really where I was trying to go with them.

So yes, most of my stories are going to be rewritten or put on either semi-permanent hiatus or permanent hiatus. A side note: while these stories are in hiatus, they will be up for adoption so feel free to message me if you have any interest in the stories with the permanent hiatus status (the semi-permanent will be staying with me for the time being, but may eventually be put up as permanent hiatus).

Another thing is that most of these stories are written for fandoms I'm not all that interested in or involved in anymore, so that is also why I'm struggling to really get them back up and running. I will eventually be posting a poll asking about what fandom I should write for next, but that probably won't be for a while.

Also, sorry for how long this has gotten, but the stories I will be updating are going to go through some quite major changes. I was recently looking back through what I had posted, and with the experience, especially in writing, that I have gained in the past year or two, I realized how bad my writing truly was. So yeah, I'll be going back through and making some edits, mostly to make it so what I do post isn't so cringy (at least in my opinion). This is also a reason that I'll be taking some stories down, because of how, in my opinion, cliche some of them are. These stories will likely be denoted with the discontinued status (if you want to adopt them, feel free but that's totally up to you my men, women, and nonbinary folks).

For those who just scroll to the bottom for a TLDR (it's totally fine, I do the same thing):

I'm going to be discontinuing or putting on permanent or semi-permanent hiatus while I go through, make edits, and decide which stories I really want to keep and feel I can keep writing.

This decision is hard for me as well, because while I do love what I write, going back through them has brought up some not so good feelings and memories that I'm still working through myself.

The stories that are marked as discontinued or as on permanent hiatus will be up for adoption, so please feel free to message me if you have any interest.

The stories I plan to keep updating (hopefully) regularly:

-Trying To Start Over (this will take the highest priority and hopefully update the most often)

-The Past Always Repeats Itself

The stories I plan to put on semi-permanent hiatus (meaning I'll keep trying to work on them and find a good plot for them to follow, but that won't be my main priority:

-Never Have Been, Never Will Be

-A Deathly Secret

The stories most likely to be put on permanent hiatus (if an idea pops into my head that clicks, there is a minor possibility they could be moved to updating or semi-permanent hiatus, but for now they are very low priority):

-I'll Love You for a Thousand More

-Spy Goddess

The stories most likely to be discontinued:

-Reine Dragon (I have absolutely no idea where I was going with this one)

-Winxed

If you noticed, all of this says "most likely" or "hopefully", that's because I'm still working through some, and pardon my language, shit. I'm going to hope to keep what all of this says, but I might end up taking another break to work through some more stuff, but I am going to do my absolute best to keep updating for y'all! What I list in this notice, at the moment, is not a permanent decision, so if you see some contradictory statements in the summaries of my stories and this notice, defer to the summary. I'll be putting my final decisions about the statuses of my stories there.

Thank you all so much for your continued support in my writing! Comments and messages only fuel the creative flame!
