Hello everyone :) 
          	It’s been a long time since I’ve been on this app. Tonight I remembered OMDB for whatever reason and decided to log back into this account after years of it not being in use, and wow. I was not expecting OMDB to have over a quarter million views! There’s so many new readers, and all of you are so supportive. I’ve seen all of your messages, wishing for me to get better and continue the series, some of these messages as recent as yesterday. It’s so crazy to me that this not well thought out story I wrote when I was in eighth grade has reached so many people. You’re support and comments have left me feeling so much joy. 
          	
          	I was rereading some parts of OMDB, it holds a very nostalgic and special place in my heart. I couldn’t help but notice how outdated and downright triggering some of the tropes I put in that story are though. Again, I wrote it when I was 13-14 years old, and was just writing what tropes I saw in other werewolf stories I read, not knowing that some of these said tropes romanticized things like abuse or enforced the “I’m not like other girls” main character. I am 19 now, and know better. I want to take this story, and make it better. 
          	
          	I am heavily considering rewriting Over My Dead Body. I will keep all the characters you know and love, and I’ll keep the oh so beloved enemies-to-lovers romance ;). I feel it is important to me to truly give you guys a story worth enjoying though, one that isn’t filled with toxic tropes. 
          	
          	I would appreciate all of your thoughts on me rewriting the series. I’m not used to having people enjoy my work and I want to include you all in this decision on my book that you enjoy and love. 
          	
          	Finally, thank you. All of you. None of you know me and yet you all have supported my writing, even if it’s a little past it’s time (lol). I am truly grateful for each and every reader that has tumbled across my book. 
          	
          	Gratefully,
          	Ariann (Slender_Duck)

It’s October 16, 2021 I really do hope you feel better because I would love for you to finish the book Living in the grave because it’s really good and I understand that depression and anxiety is very hard to deal with I hope you feeling better and you update the book soon.

I read your bio that the sequel to omdb was on hold I assume it’s been on hold for awhile since the last update was 2016... but I hope you are doing better if you need anyone to talk to i’m here! but if you ever decide to continue it again then please post a message or update and I will definitely be interested in reading it!
