Back on this account again because I remembered some more stories I forgot to purge, and some stuff I reread that I hadn't realized was as bad as it was. This time, most of the purging was related to stuff that was just...unnecessarily invalidating to trans and gender non-conforming people, and I didn't want anything so mean-spirited associated with me!! I love and support all y'all so much, and if anyone was ever offended by my wording in ANY of my stories, I am personally so deeply sorry to you. I welcome you to message me (on my main account, @Kimmy_Grace ) to talk more if you like. <3
          	
          	Stay safe, love you all, come visit my main account where I'm writing a cool Hunger Games fanfiction with original characters and am handling everything way better mwah mwah <3 <3

Alright, taking advantage of being on this account to officially announce: went through and deleted a few stories I KNOW are particularly bad, unpublished stories I'm not entirely sure on/might just have to edit for now. If a favorite of yours is gone, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be deleted but I will have to figure out some way to fix it up before I publish it again. Thanks for sticking by, and please enjoy what you can while it's still here hahaha whee!
          
          As always, if you haven't already check me out @Kimmy_Grace for better stories! ...Mostly! Please read Inksmiths it's my pride and joy--

Too lazy to log into this account but:
          
          This account is gonna be purged pretty soon. I have a policy where I don't like to delete things I've written in the past.......ever, but some of the stories on this account plain promote values I CANNOT in good conscience still allow. Those stories will be deleted some time in the near future. If you enjoyed them, I'm sorry, I understand this might be upsetting, but I just can't accept the fact that I have things on this account that are genuinely distressing to me.
          
          Some books have individual chapters that are bad but the book itself is overall fine--I'll find a way to either just delete those chapters, erase all the bad parts, or add a warning, but needless to say I'll take care of those in some way too.
          
          This'll be a long process, so if you think your favorites might be in danger of being purged because they, for instance, promote sexual harrassment as """comedy""", uhhhhhhhhh i dunno what to tell you lol enjoy it while you can i guess? Or don't! Preferably don't!
          
          Anyway, that'll come soon enough. Thank you for all the support over the years. Visit me over here if you haven't already to see how much I've grown! <3
          
          Love you guys. <3

@MasterLiza94 I'll be completely honest and shoot super straight with you because y'all deserve to see me at my rawest, but I wrote the vast majority of these fics at a time in my life where I was, to be perfectly frank, struggling a lot with erotica to the point it was basically just straight-up written p*rn. I was reading and writing those kinds of things on a regular basis and as I've grown up I'm realizing that, while I think I only ever posted one instance of straight-up erotica on this account (it is LONG since gone, it was the FIRST fic to go many years ago) I let a lot of that stuff I ingested into my writing in a way that it, in particular, portrayed sexual harassment as something that could be joked about and/or something that's "fine if they end up enjoying it". And that's WRONG. It's SUPER wrong and a REALLY bad idea to promote in any capacity. And as I've grown up and thought back on stuff I've written, it's really hit me just how much of a part *I* had in perpetuating that problem. I'm just not comfortable with some of the stuff I have on here that treats that so lightly (and it's not just here either, I did it a tiny bit in some of my early stories on my main account too so I need to weed through that a little also) so I feel like it's my responsibility to get rid of the stuff that's adding to that issue, if that makes sense?
            
            So that being said, because of this specifically being the issue, a lot of my stories--Doppelgangers in particular, most of Drabbleworks sans some terrible "jokes" in the first chapter I have to fix, the first edition of Namuko Academy though the second suffers a bit, Footprints in the Snow and Behind the Scenes--don't need to be purged since they're not specifically problematic, but a lot of my other romance-oriented or more ""mature"" works slip into that and it's a big problem that has to be addressed lol
            
            Sorry for the essay, TL;DR I wrote most of these at a VERY troubled time in my life and I'm no longer okay with them lol

@MasterLiza94 Don't worry, most of those ones should stay up! I do have to take down the OHSHC crossover though because that one was heading in a super problematic direction already and I tried to treat actual harassment like a joke and that's not okay with me haha, and a few chapters of Miss Raven's 2 are REALLY REALLY BAD about that so I have to do something about those, and a couple of my old crossover stuff that has become particularly offensive lately as things come to life (like the "Mixed Gender Story Evo" because literally what even IS "mixed gender", I made up a term that is getting increasingly problematic and offensive and bad in this day and age and was bad then too, I just didn't realize it) and basically a few of my romance-oriented stories are particularly y i k e s, but the basic fiction and things like Drabbleworks, Doppelgangers, and for the MOST part Namuko Academy are fine!
            
            Again, I have to finish going through everything to really confirm what has to go and what can stay, but I can at least assure you most of the iDOLM@STER/Xenoglossia fics can stay up!

I think now is a good time to say I've pretty much completely abandoned this account, lol
          
          I love working on my original works, bu between a lack of motivation, a lack of ideas, serious writer's block, the fact that I'm both embarrassed by and in love with this account, and a serious lack of time...I just don't see myself coming back here seriously any time soon. I owe you guys that much.
          
          I WILL NOT be deleting any of my stories OR this account. They will stay. It's just...highly unlikely I'll actually finish any of them.
          
          I'm sorry, guys. <3 Meet me on my new account to keep up with me! @Kimmy_Grace

Good news! Wattpad is officially unblocked on my laptop, which means I can start uploading things again!
          Which is coupled with bad news: all I've been updating lately has been original works. Feel free to head over to that account (@Kimmy_Grace) and see what I've been up to, if you want! 
          
          And lastly, a little question:
          A friend of mine and I write a HUGE amount of stories based around a roleplay we've been doing that's lasted for years. Though I like to call these fanfictions, they're all using original characters, which technically makes them original. Would you guys suggest I post these over on my original stories account, or post them here?

alicat_otaku

@GraceGrrl  thats ok. i would feel better if you didn't force your self to write something you didn't want to. the quality would be different and it wouldn't be fair for you to be pressured  into writing something other than your currant interests. thank you for your reply and good luck with your currant projects!

@alicat_otaku I appreciate it, thank you. ^^
            However, one of my main reasons for ceasing work on fan fictions for such a long time is that I've personally begun to lose interest in them. I feel like it won't be fair to people who look forward to these stories to just throw out a half-hearted chapter just to get something out there. When I feel like I can make something I'll be proud of, that's when I'll keep updating.

@GraceGrrl  please please PLEASE update some of your fan fictions! also could you  squeeze in a little time for your fanfiction.net account? i still think your fan fictions are really good and i hope you can find some way to continue. 
            (p.s. just read the first chapter of 'This Book Doesn't Have a Witty Title'. It's pretty good! i look forward to the following chapters and the sequel!

@mcgeheekam Hi! Thanks for the follow, firstly. :)
          Unfortunately, I really don't know enough about Soul Eater to write anything about it. I've never even seen the anime or read the manga, aside from the first episode or two.
          In fact, all I know about it is what I've picked up from friends or those first two episodes. So I'm not comfortable with the characters enough to write them. ^^" Sorry to have to say no!

GraceGrrl

Well, it's been a while.
          
          I don't have Wattpad unblocked, but I've been dong lots of writing. I'm still not updating any of these stories. And, frankly, you want to know why?
          
          You guys, my writing has matured SO much. I've matured. My interests have matured. And frankly, I'm...almost embarrassed of a LOT of the stuff here. The greatest offender is the Miss Raven's series--which is, ironically, my most popular. It was laden with Mary Sues and terrible writing and out-of-character and just...
          
          In short:
          I've written a lot to show you one day.
          If I continue what's on here now, it won't be for a LONG TIME.
          I still love you all. Thank you for being so loyal even though I actually sucked at writing all this stuff and I'm not even close to active anymore.
          
          Until my return, enjoy what's uploaded, and maybe check out the beginnings of that original stuff on my other account.
          
          I love you guys,
          Grace :3
