I love fanfiction, and I love writing it.  But taking a fanfic, making a few superficial changes, stripping away anything that clearly ties it to the original, and then publishing it as a “new” book, while still marketing it as former fanfiction, just doesn’t sit right with me. 
          	
          	Personally, it’s starting to take some of the joy out of reading books.
          	
          	I genuinely admire fanfic writers and the incredible talent in that community. But instead of reworking existing fanfiction for traditional publishing, why not give these writers contracts to create something entirely original? 
          	
          	I’m confident that many fanfic authors are more than capable of building their own worlds and stories from scratch.

I’ll be starting to publish chapters of Adoring 13, my Johnny Kavanagh fanfic, by the end of the week! I’m just wrapping up the final few chapters before posting.
          
          Right now, I’m deciding how I want to release it. Would you prefer I publish all the chapters at once, or upload 15 chapters each week? The story is currently sitting at 85 chapters total, so let me know what you’d think is the best!

@accio_macchiato yeah I probably will do that. Thank you!

Maybe publish all the chapters together? Wouldn’t that be better since you have almost finished it? People can than enjoy reading it without having to wait for the next chapters.

Here’s a little update on everything I’m working on right now. Rainy Days is up to Chapter 18, which I’ve finished and am currently editing. I plan to upload it once I’m about halfway through Chapter 19.
          
          I’m also making good progress on Adoring 13, my Johnny Kavanagh fanfiction from The Boys of Tommen. I’m almost finished with the story, with 13 chapters left to write, not counting the bonus chapters.
          
          I’ve started a Anthony Bridgerton fanfiction and I am currently three chapters in, as well as a Joey Lynch fanfiction that’s just getting started.
          
          Form now one all my fanfictions (except Rainy Days), I upload only once a story is almost complete. For now, that means I’ll wait until I’m down to the last two chapters of Adoring 13 before posting. 
          
          Thank you so much for your patience, I can’t wait to share more with you soon!

Okay so… I just got my exam results back and I failed my most important subject. 
          
          To cope (because clearly buying books therapy is my only personality trait at this point), I decided to buy the deluxe editions of Boys of Tommen. I already have the out of print ones, but I need the new releases to match on my shelf or it will actually bother me forever.
          
          So I ordered them… and tell me why Taming 7 wasn’t available??? On Gibsie’s birthday of all days. I can’t even buy his book to emotionally spiral properly.
          
          Failing exams and denied by the universe in the same week. Love that for me.

Sorry for venting, I needed to let it out somewhere
