Hello, everyone!

My name now is AliVal13-Tihmm.

It was Tihmm first and then became AliVal13 later.

I started out writing fanfiction about fourteen years ago back in 2005-2006 (wowzers, that makes me feel old!) and some of you were brave enough to stick with me for a decade or more.

WHY?

Anyway, so I know many of you have been waiting a long time for me to get on with things. I sometimes would come back and say "I'M DOING THE THING" and then the thing wouldn't happen, and I'm sorry. I've been dealing with depression my whole life and was finally diagnosed with Autism about five years ago, which explained and solved a lot. I've been fixing and adjusting myself since then.

I also just fell out of love with the Kingdom Hearts series which also put me off my account here because that was heart breaking for me. I had so many stories I wanted to finish and the games mean a ridiculous amount to me, so yeah. It was like someone I loved broke up with me for a while.

Anyway, I have some Bad News and Good News and Good News again.

Bad News is... I am moving from fanfiction dot net. I will not be deleting the account in case old friends try and find me and because there are fanfictions from as far as 2006-2008 I am still over the moon for that I may never find again except through my bookmarks here.

In fact, I was reading through them and a bunch had been written by friends I had made on this site (and was actually pretty close to) so they would mention me here and there in the Author's notes and I'd have a nostalgically good cry about how much I loved them and missed them and hoped they were doing okay. The last time I spoke to any of them was back in 2011 (I MISS YOU AXENATOR! If you haven't read her stuff, even though it's old now--DO IT. They still hold up even 11 years later).

So, now onto the first part of Good News!

I am moving to ArchiveofourOwn! AO3!

My screen name for those interested is PrinnPrick. If for some crazy reason this changes I'll come back and update the page.

I already have tons of one-shots and finished fanfictions on there from the Harry Potter series, one Assassin's Creed thing, etc. So, plenty of stuff to read if you like HP while I transfer my fics over.

One of the many great things about AO3 is that they do not have a censoring rule like fanfic dot net does. They instead allow you to tag things and rate them and that means I don't have to censor my works anymore but I can still have them show up in the appropriate category so people can decide if they wanna see what I'm offering or not.

AO3 is also a thousand times easier to deal with and I can respond to Anon messages versus having to put them up on the next chapter! You don't need an account to get a reply from me nor need an update of some kind to have your questions answered!! Just an email. And it doesn't censor out links! You can add pictures much more easily to each chapter and lots of other good things that ff dot net does not do.

And now my second part of Good News, which I mentioned:

I'm transferring my fanfictions over. I've already finished moving most of the one-shots I'm going to keep, Cloaks, etc.I mentioned this in several of my on-going fanfictions for you particularly avid waiters, but just in case someone sees the profile but not the updates... there ya go.

Anyway, as per my usual thing-to-do I will be editing the chapters as I post them. They still won't be perfect, but you know what? Whatever. At least I'm getting it done and I hope you'll all enjoy them anyway.

I've been holding onto some update chapters a while because I felt they didn't look right with the rest of the fic (because I forced myself to write them while I wasn't happy with Kingdom Hearts) and I have full storyboards for many others. Hopefully my renewed love for KH will continue long enough for me to get some stuff done at last! I'm replaying the games in celebration of KH3, too.

Now, allow me to say a big Thank You to everyone who ever read, and especially to those who stuck around.

Thank you to all the friends I had that brought me so much joy. I hate that we parted, but at least (for most of you) it wasn't under bad terms.

Thank you fanfiction dot net for being my first creative home.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope reading my silly fics brought at least a little happiness!!!!!
