Hello, all of you wonderful people.

It's been a little while, hasn't it?

I've been worse I guess, but I want to talk to you all, about where I'm going.

Where, all of my stories are going, in sense.

I'm not removing them, for history's sake, but the direction I, and my stories are going.

Well, here I go.

I call myself Oscar, but that's not even my real name. (But, our world is screwed and creepy, so let's go with that.)

I've not written anything on any of my stories in a while... some, even longer. (Last Yokai, it's been over three years...)

I have many reasons, and many excuses.

Burnout is one, lack of material is another, but here's a few.

I started a series back in 2015, that I thought was super cool.

Basically, your run of the mill Overpowered Dark Harry who called himself Hadrian. (I know, right?)

Well, that kind of faltered out around book three, when I realized that it all sucked.

So, I tried rewriting it... but that just dawned on me, that I planned an eight story series, and just restarted...

So, I tried many different things, those didn't pan out.

So, I tried Last Note, and it was fun!

I was on a high off of discovering Death Note, and it was cool and interesting, and I got to play around with cool ideas and avoid a lot of stereotypes by using Death Note elements...

But, as my writing always does, it got convoluted.

Anyway, most of you don't care about that.

My determination and love for fan fiction, died out over time.

I'm not motivated anymore, despite all your wonderful reviews.

It's not enough sadly, but don't blame yourselves.

The state of Last Note, and all of my stories and the one's on my profile?

Consider them, though it hurts me more than you can imagine, as I've spent days and months (For some years) bleeding my heart out into my stories, abandoned.

My life has changed drastically since I started writing.

I finished school, I've made friends, I've lost friends, and I've lost family...

I've struggled with depression over the last few months, and I guess you could say year, along with so many unfortunate things.

Got fired from a job that I loved with all of my heart, and that was beyond painful.

I'm just not the same person that could generate endless angst for a gritty story, or the humor needed for a comedic horror such as Last Note or Devil's Advocates. (Remember that?)

I'm not dying by the way, nor do I plan to be anytime soon, but I'm at a crossroads right now.

I'm getting older, and I'm kind of lost right now.

I'm not twenty-three anymore, juggling college and writing by some grace of god.

I can't keep living my life the same way I have, because life doesn't work that way.

I need to find where I'm going to go, before life destroys me, as I know it will.

Time goes on, and all we can hope to do is go with it.

Maybe I'll return some day, continue where I left off, or create something new.

Who knows?

The future is endless.

Sorry for the disappointment, to those of you who were honest and genuine fans of my stories. I've never really had confidence in my writings, but you all saw something in them.

It's been fun, and I can not express how much your praise has meant to me. As a writer, and as a person.

From new readers just finding my works, to people that have been around since the beginning.

(EndlessChains, if you're still kicking around, thanks old friend, but you should have told me I sucked at writing. I could have improved sooner, instead of three books in.)

To the rest of you, I love each and everyone of you, and I can't thank you all enough.

Until we meet again, and one last time for old times sake.

Have a good morning everyone.

-Oscar Unknown
