Transformers || Oneshots

Hey, it's been a while...

Hey there, it's been a while, hasn't it? Glad to see you guys. If you're here already, take a minute to read my note.

Life just got too busy to keep up with all the writing I planned for, and now I'm moving away to college. It's crazy how time flew. I started this book during the lockdown when I was still in high school. Now I'm two and a half years deep into a great relationship and we're moving in together in August. Life is slowing falling into place. I started to become more active, I take walks and runs in the morning to see the pretty sights. I read more, I've made more stops at the library than ever 😂 currently reading the Warm Bodies series, I HIGHLY recommend! I'm currently working almost every night, that's been a pain, but I guess it's money to be saved. I go out a lot more too, my days off are spent doing something with either my sister, my family, or my friends. I see that more as a "distraction in life" 😂

My love of transformers is still here, and always will be here :) I saw the new movie when it came out in June and I absolutely loved it. My list has expanded. Once upon a time my love for TF was the only thing in my life. Since then I've added and added, and now I like a lot of things and fandoms, as well as some new and different things, like watching sports or gaming with some friends. I still want to write, but it's just so hard to find time and/or motivation. My audience has probably changed and dwindled due to my lack of activity and Wattpads downfall.

People always say "Wattpad is dying" and for the first time I've really seen the decrease from the last two years. "Are you then gonna move to Ao3?" I get this question a lot. The answer is no, all my works will stay up on here as long as they don't get deleted. I'm not a fan of the Ao3 algorithm and probably never will be, I guess it's not my cup of tea, I tried but it didn't work out. Speaking of deletions, earlier this year I woke up one day to find out my more "spicy" oneshot book was deleted. I cannot recover it, nor did I have my stories backed up. I guess that's what I get for not saving them elsewhere when it was NSFW, but it was a heavy blow to my heart with how much time I put into creating each story. I know a lot of people genuinely liked that book, as did I in my prime- but- the older I got, the more mature I became, and that style of writing just isn't for me anymore. I think it's mainly due to "growing up" and how I've been in a happy relationship for a long time, and writing all kinds of fantasies started not to work out after a while 😂 I guess it started to feel weird and/or different. That part of writing closed down a while ago, and I guess seeing it be deleted was bittersweet. That doesn't change the fact that I still wish it wasn't deleted on me, I am never one to delete any work of mine and would never take away something already put out there. I can't reverse what happened, so that is that. Maybe down the line I will rewrite what I remember into an appropriate storyline on this book, two of those that were deleted were great plotted stories and I'll regret it if I don't recreate them from what I remember because it slips farther and farther away.

I thought about what to do with the rest of my works and my future unpublished books, and I honestly do not have an answer. I want to say that it'll all work out but I know better. Like I said, people are in and out, fandoms come and go, etc. There's a lot of factors to consider. But all of my books, whether completed or not, are staying up. As for this oneshot book, my first baby (😂), I maybe want to try and work on it (?) I'm not sure yet, I have one story idea that I'm going to start and then after that there will probably be no content for a while. I still have not finished editing every story like I've previously stated, either. I think once all of that is done this book will then either be completed or shelved.

As for playing with fire, that story I will continue with. If you have not read it yet, I encourage you do so if you still want activity from me. I love that story with all my heart and I do want to complete that one, I just have to write, write, write. I think the last update was back in September 😔I have so much to still write for it, but I know it'll be worth it once it's finished. I'm going to try and push myself upon starting to write and update that soon.

Everything else is on hold or will be marked completed soon, I have to edit everything and see what is going where.

Thank you guys for being part time of my journey on here, it truly means a lot :) This is not a goodbye post even if it sounds like one, I'm just happy I was loved on here ❤️ I still read each and every comment, I just have a bad habit of forgetting to reply, lol.

I can't tell you what the future is going to exactly look like on here, but too much time passed without saying something and it kept on killing me. If you understand, thank you for that. I hope to see y'all soon, whether it be here or there or anywhere :)
