n_wilkinsonI've been thinking about goals for myself for this month, and I'm just so... disheartened by my original fic that I couldn't think of a single thing but despair so I think for June I'm just going to sit back and re-evaluate what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and if doing this is making me happier, or if it's starting to feel like a noose.
I don't know what I need to do yet, but this month will be a good chance to figure it out.
Hopefully, July will see me more.. jubilant?
*fingers crossed*

Hello!
Date: 2016-08-08 03:12 pm (UTC)Just dropping by to let you know that i made this account especially just to let you know that im the biggest fan of your work especially WOTA! I've been patiently waiting for an update since your last update on WOTA.
Please dont feel despair. All of your works are great! I've reread all of your works (especially WOTA, my fav) over and over again for weeks! I just couldnt get enough of Sleet and the adventure. The world you have created is amazing!
I hope i can give you a hug to make you feel better.. or is there really anything i can do to make you feel better? Take your time. I will always be your fan! Always! :)
Sincerely,
Mistfox
Re: Hello!
Date: 2016-08-08 10:47 pm (UTC)I'll be honest. I've pretty much been in a place where I've just about abandoned my original fiction. Response has been next to zero, it doesn't sell, not even when it's free. And while it's well and good to say that one should always write for themselves, my creative batteries run on feedback. It's disheartening to kind of shout into the void.
But your comment here was just so lovely and unexpected. It put a huge smile on my face even while I was at work, and I came home and read it again and again just because it made me so happy.
I'm so glad you like the War of the Animum universe! It's a story I've been working on for years. lol. I think I have a few chapters I've already written that just need to be edited and I can post them, though it may be a while before I can add more to that.
Perchance, where do you read most often? I'll try to make sure to update there at least.
Thank you so much for your kind words. <3 You have no how idea how much they mean to me.

Date: 2016-08-09 02:37 am (UTC)I cant get rid of this stupid grin i have stuck on my face, happy that i got your reply! XD
I should have written to you sooner though... :'( kinda feel like as a fan i've let you down.. im sorry.. *internet hugs!*
Please! Please dont abandon any of your work!
Your writing style is unique and it gives me a welcoming feeling reading it.
It's like you introduced me to a friend and later me and that friend becomes good friend. It's that kind of feeling. :)
When i first discovered WOTA (it was 2-3 years ago i think) i binged read all of them in one go! And i couldnt get enough of it!
When im reading it, it's like im living IN the story. I dont know how describe it (and English is not my first language) it's just like im in or part of the adventure!
If you ever publish WOTA especially, i'll be the first to buy it and put it with the rest of my favourite book collections where i always reread from time to time. :D
Im really, REALLY glad that you received the comment i sent you and that it made a good impact on you. :D
Feels like a big win as a fan! lol! Feel so awesome!!!
I first stumbled upon WOTA on adultfanfic.org then from there i ventured to your livejournal and then here.
Truth be told, i kinda feel like im borderline stalking your work. lol!
Oh GOSH!!! YES!!!! Im at work while writing this, and i have to be all poise and professional but damn, my inner fan girling soul is jumping upside down at this news!
Everyday i'd go to adultfanfic to see if theres an update for my favourite stories.
But heck, since i already admitted that im stalking you, you can just update anywhere that is convenient to you! :D hehe!
I kinda check your site regularly anyway. :)
I didnt do much but im thankful that you havent given up yet! *hugs!!!*
All the best! :D :D :D :D :D also, no rush. Im a loyal and patient fan. Great adventures are worth the wait. :D
Sincerely your biggest fan,
Mistfox
ps Team Sleet ftw! lol!
Re: Hello!
Date: 2016-08-09 09:15 pm (UTC)I don't think I'll ever publish War of the Animum, though I might make it a free read on Amazon Kindle. It's just too massive.
BUT, my original novel "The Requiem of Janus" is set in this universe and as soon as I re-release it, I'll let you know. It's a prequel by about 1000 years. It will eventually have a sequel, too, "Fugue of Shadows." (the main character Alcaeus is something of a distant relative to Malach)
My published novella "The Seeker" is set in this universe, too and has a familiar face in it -- Beryl! I also plan on bringing some characters from it into WOTA in an upcoming part so if you're interested in that, I'll give you the link to it.
AFF and then LJ/DW hmm? Perfect! I always update on my Dreamwidth first anyway. And no problem! I try to make myself easily found. It's not stalking at all. It's a huge compliment actually, that you would try to find my work. It makes me very happy.
Now that you have a Dreamwidth account, you can actually subscribe to my journal and it will send you e-mails when I post something, and I think you can specify for the post to have keywords, that way you don't have to keep checking. It will let you know when I update.
Thank you so much for being patient! And yes, go Team Sleet. :) The next part begins with a chapter from his POV, if I'm not mistaken. So we get back to him soon.
Thank you so much for all of your words! <3 They really have washed away the darkness for me.
Re: Hello!
Date: 2016-08-10 08:21 am (UTC)War of the Animum world is like the Shannara's. Massive and so much to explore! To me, It doesnt matter if you decided to publish it or make it a free read, i'd totally 100% gonna get a copy! :D :D :D
Hah! Beryl!!! I know that that guy! You cant fully trust him, but you cant truly hate the guy either. He's quite a lovable character. :D
Oooooohhhh!!! Im getting goosebumps already! so excited!!! Yes! Yes, please let me know! :D
LOL! At this point, im just gonna say gimme everything. I'm gonna binge read it like im a sponge!
So glad you didnt think of it as stalking. I was kinda worry you'd think im a creep or something. lol!
I am now officially one of your subscriber! :D
No no no! Thank you so much for not giving up! I mean it. :)
LOL! I can totally see Raven's annoyed face in my head whenever im cheering for Team Sleet! hehe!
Oh yesssss!!! I've been itching to know what happen next now that he decided to go with Frost.
Oh Miss, you are too kind! <3
Best of luck!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Cheers
Forever A Fan & Team Sleet,
Mistfox
