Dear readers,

Its been a long time hasn't it? It has I know. I have been wanting to do this for a while, but I was sure my absence would have told you this. I have quit writing fanfiction. Now before you all send me angry letters or whatever, you have to hear my side of the story.

Fanfiction for me, was everything. It was all I had most of the time. As many of you know, I had a lot of up and downs in my life, and while I haven't suffered any major depression in the last two years, which is good, I still still that things have changed a lot for myself. First off, I am twenty-one years old, and I am graduating from University this year. I have a lot to think about, do and a lot of studying to do. I don't have a lot of time for writing, let alone writing fanfiction.

Another reason I am quiting, a lot of you may not understand, but I have seemed to have outgrown a lot of my readers. Not that I don't think your all wonderful. You all are, and for what you have done for me, I am thankful. I really am. I wouldn't have probably made it this far in my life without you. What I mean is, now that I am older I try and write about a lot of personal and serious issues. And I feel like a lot of you shouldn't be reading this stuff. 'Another Kind of Girl' is an example of this. I felt like my readers were too young to really get the whole point of the story. It was very discouraging when I would get emails asking if Gigolo was a real job or not. And people who didn't know what Prozac was. It blew my mind. I knew what Prozac was when I was seven years old and I know no one who was on it. Its not anyone's fault, its just that I wasn't writing for the age group I wanted.

I am a University Student, who has a huge dream of being a successful published author. I don't want to be rich or anything, just enough to support myself. I want to be known for my writing, my plots, my characters. And lets face facts, I can't write for a living if I am also writing fanfiction. Fanfiction will always be my starting point. It will be what got me into writing. It will be what inspired it, and it will always be something I hold fondly to my heart. I can't wait to sit down one day and read fanfiction about my characters. I really am, and I hope I inspire another writer like so many fanfiction authors inspired me.

I thank you for all the love and support over the years, but this really has to end now. I hope a lot of you will follow me as a published author, but if you just wish to stick to fanfiction, that is well too. I hope you find some amazing stories out there. If you are interested in following my work elsewhere, then I will have some links on my profile page. I hope to hear from a lot of you very soon.
