To My Friends And Readers:

Hello to everyone! First and foremost, I want to express just how thankful I am for all of you. Seeing people read my work and like them and tell me that I've been an inspiration to them in their own writing adventures means so very much to me. It's an absolute honor that I have been that for you.

Now onto the reason that I am writing this...

I've been a part of FFN for almost seven years now and I've enjoyed it. I've shared in with some laughs and tears, made lifelong friends and made memories that I won't soon forget. But, as some of you know, I was recently a victim of theft from a person that has long since been caught and is being dealt with as we speak. I'm not going to get into the sordid details of the matter. Prior to this, I had been contemplating as to whether or not I would continue to remain here on FFN. It has nothing to do with the theft, it was instead something else.

During my time here, I've seen that there has been not just a rise in plagiarism, but in petty drama. And it turns this into a very toxic environment when you're supposed to be here writing for fun, not for competition or to spite someone that you might be angry with. As writers, we should be encouraging one another and helping each other grow in our abilities while sharing in the love of a fandom instead of attacking one another. For instance, if someone is writing a self insertion fic, let them write it. To each their own. We have no control over the actions of someone, so let it go. If your story is stolen, take it to the kind folks on the TAPIR forum. Someone flaming you? Let them flame.

But I digress.

There's other reasons as to why I'm about to say this, but I won't get into them here. I have a total of six stories that I've posted here. However, those stories are soon going to be disappearing over to Archive of Our Own. You heard me correctly: I will no longer be writing on FFN. This is something that I've been planning to do for a time now. I've made the decision to transfer three of the stories over to AO3 whereas the remaining three will be permanently deleted. (The Lachrymose is already on AO3 so it's going away from here to begin with.) The stories I've chosen are:

Sins Of The Brother

Lullaby For A Princess

Play With Me

Again, the remaining three stories are going to be deleted and will not be reposted ANYWHERE. If you happen to see Of Ice And Blades or The Violinist posted anywhere else, know they were not put up by me. Chances are, you are reading stolen stories and I would greatly appreciate it if you report said stories.

I will leave all of my stories up for the time being until I get them transferred onto AO3. I anticipate to have that done by Wednesday November 25, 2015.

Again, thank you all once more for the good memories that I had the pleasure of sharing with you and the friendships we have formed. I wish you all nothing but the very best in all your writing adventures.

So with that said, The Nokomis Twins, Aveline, and I bid you farewell. Thanks again, FFN. =)

Love,

Ninja
