Dearest Readers,

Hello there. It has been over 3, maybe even 4 years since I have written anything. I don't really want to give you excuses, but I know its only right that I explain what has been going on in not too many details.

These last 5 years have been hard on me. I've had to go through some issues at home with a former friend/roommate as well as at work with my boss. With what was happening I began to spiral into depression once more. Sadly, even once things got better, I just couldn't start writing again. I felt as though I had no right to. That somehow, I was doing something wrong when I wrote. I know that's not true though.

With both depression raging on and off and work putting more responsibilities onto me I just couldn't get myself to do the things that I care about. These last 3 years have been even harder on me mentally. Thankfully though I am seeing a therapist who has started to encourage me to write again. I can not promise to have constant updates, but I am going to try and update at least one of my stories every month to start.

I as for your help though. Seeing comments, messages, even criticism (and no, not just telling me that I'm wrong. This is fanfiction for a reason) helps to encourage me. Helps for me to remind myself that its not wrong to write. That is okay to do the things that I love to do. So please, please help.

I will also be slowly adding my stories onto my Ao3 account. I have been meaning to but never got around to it.

With all of my thanks and my love to all of you,

Shadow's Hollow
