As anyone who has followed my books might have noticed, I haven't updated them in a long time. I've been extremely busy with university and with personal physical/mental health issues, but I have always loved writing. It's been a haven for me since I was a child, and I loved writing on wattpad even if no one was reading my work. I love reading and writing so much that I'm studying english at university and I'm going to make a career out of it. But my love for wattpad has all changed. People are reading my work, and while I am infinitely grateful for everyone who has supported me and my writing, there is a growing negativity that I don't need in my life right now. When I check my notifications they are full of negativity, and unnecessary criticisms of my writing choices. I'm trying not to rant but seriously this is fan fiction, it's not going to be exactly like the source material. Plot details are changed for a reason, everything characters do is for a reason. As the author, I know where I'm going with my plots, I don't need anyone telling me that what I've done is wrong. Feel free to write your own story with your own characters instead of criticising mine. I no longer want to open wattpad and write because everything I do is being nit-picked, and I love writing. I don't want this negativity to destroy this for me. So I have removed all of my work from wattpad for the foreseeable, possibly forever. I'm so disappointed by this, I had a plan for several books on Arielle and Klaus that will now likely never be seen.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, and I'm sorry to anyone who liked the books and was waiting for more. Perhaps I will move to a different site and start again, but for now I will be leaving wattpad. I hope you all understand.
Thank you,
- Maeve
