Wow I’ve been gone for a while. Studying abroad and getting a job would do that. But the recent pandemic has rendered me jobless so to deal with the stress I’ve moved back with my parents and come back to writing. Funny how life works out like that.

I hope you enjoy my story, and all the improvements I made while I was gone. If there is anything you feel that could be altered to make it better, perhaps any mistakes that I didn’t catch please feel free to tell me. It will only help me make this story better.

Thanks for reading!

Alright, so some of you may be wondering where I have been in the last few months.

Allow me to get straight to the point. I’m notorious for not finishing my fanfics. However, a valued friend, fellow writer, and source of inspiration in my writing career has challenged me to go back to any story of mine, and finish it. These are his words.

“Even if this isn’t something you can eventually get paid for, it is good practice for the time you do. I would like you to try to finish a story. Take any story of yours, even if it’s this new, fresh, exciting one, and promise me that you will finish it. I want to make you experience what finishing a story is like, going through the great times and the sluggish times and the horrid times and the amazing times. It’ll be an experience that will make you infinitely more capable as a writer and you’ll probably thank me at the end of it all. If you accept, that mean’s you can also come to me for help or advice at any time. I will do what I can to make sure you continue forward, and upward along your path.”

So that’s it. Let this be the memoir of my devotion to writing. I'll finish my fanfics, and get the experience I need.

There are many stories that are nothing more than... pastiches, written by unimaginative copycats and lazy writers, repeating word for word events in other stories and wasting the time of the one reading it.

And then there are many stories that are written by shallow and greedy men pandering to their audience, not daring to break out of the cage they have built for themselves, to surprise them, to create something new.

And then there are those who blindly follow what is known as the 'canon', not daring to break out of the mould that the original Creators gave us. Yet if they gave us such great gifts of imagination and the ability to exercise our free will, is it not a travesty for us to cling to stringent and arbitrary conventions, to write stories that make no effort to create something new, something inventive, something different

And that is why, Author, realize the truth of these words.

Where other men blindly follow others, fearful of creating something entirely their own, remember:

Nothing is true.

Where other men are limited by the fear of their audience's backlash, by mainstream demand, terrified of breaking the mould and example set by society and their peers, remember:

Everything is permitted.

To write what is right, and right what is wrong.

We work in the dark to serve the light.

We are Authors.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.
