IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE 8/2/13

Hey guys,

It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, some stuff has been happening in my life that just made it very difficult to get back to writing fics. Besides being in a great deal of classes that involve assigned writing that I must focus on, there have been other things that I've been going through. So to quickly give you an idea, here are three things that have kept me from posting things.
1. Ben 10 is dead.

2. Life is given priority over fantasy.

3. Depression hurts.

That third one might be too blunt to say, but I rather not go into too much about it, due to the darker side of the net. Rest assured, I take life one day at a time and am not going through it as badly as I was in the beginning. That is all I will say on the matter.

Anyways, I am not sure if I should stick around as Count Kulalu. I wanted to do so much with the character, but the problem is that I ended up not becoming comfortable enough to put the character out there. OCs are considered taboo, and with what I wanted to do, I would have been undoubtedly put further under the rug. So I felt too intimidated to continue things like "Klank and Orbus, Where Are You Now?" and "Character Confessions at the Krazy Kulalu". As for my Ben 10 fics, well, see #1 and you'll find that while I like reading fics of the genre (especially from writers like MissLevinLover and Bigby the Big Bad Wolf) I don't think I feel inspired enough to write them myself anymore.

Yet, I do not want to just dispose of these stories. I may find a way to continue them. I also do not want to erase what maybe a very very number of readers may have enjoyed. So, I will not simply delete them, but should I give them to others who may want them?

Should Count Kulalu be gone, and I become someone else? Someone who starts fresh? Or is there something I can do to stay Kulalu and just try to show random bits of stories that I would like to see here? Any answers?

Also, I would like to try my hand at Beta Reading, for I feel if I can't make my own fanfics (I can still write, thank you very much), then I might be able to help out others if given the chance.
