Hi there, Spewku here. Or formally Toxic Grump as a lot of people know me.

I've been contemplating this for a very long time, and I think it's about time to close up shop and move on. Maybe both books but specifically this one. It's been almost two full years since I started writing on here. During this time I took a year long break, and I think I killed this book through my hiatus. The splatoon community on here is not like it used to be. No one really wants oneshots on a ship thats already been written a million times. They want an actual story, which this isn't. 

Throughout my return I realized my motivation to continue writting oneshots is different and has been strained. It's more of a chore, I love writing Pearlina but I actually have to try and just fumble now. I used to just write, write with no problem but I'm becoming less motivated to write oneshots. I started working on a new book called Lost In Thought and that's when I realized that It's becoming harder to write oneshots. 

I'm running out of ideas because there's only so much original ideas you can write. Now because this book is almost dead I'm starting to realize that maybe it's time to put this book to rest. This book means so much but I feel as I continue to write I'm butchering this book and what it was. It was 7th grade me writing for fun and to let out my emotions. I was very depressed at the time(and I went through a horny phase). That's just not me anymore. I'm not 13 anymore, I'm in highschool now. I'm 15 with a job. I'm not friends with the people who encouraged and continued to encourage this book anymore. As sad as it is to accept that for me.. it is.

I've changed so much.. I want to continue this book because I'm one of the last Splatoon writers, especially from over two years ago. I love writing but time is just not on my side. 

I have rewritten a lot of oneshots already, and I still plan to post them but I'm unsure of continuing this book afterwards. I honestly want to till I die but I'm just so unsure. I came back at such a bad time because the community is almost abandoned on here. I do believe the next splatoon game or even just a dlc will be announced this year, and I really hope so.

Thank you all for the support throughout the years, this book seriously saved my life when I began writing in 7th grade. If it wasn't for this book I'm honestly unsure If I would've still been here... That's how much this book helped me through the darkest part of my life.
