Hey...

How's life?

Okay, let me be honest with you: I hate the way Frosted Arrows is written. I mean, I HATE the way I wrote this fic a few years ago. Like, why did I even.

If you haven't noticed, most of this fanfiction is trash. Like, should I even explain it? You can reread the fic and you'll see what I'm getting at. I screwed up a lot. I mean, I messed up Frosted Arrows so much.

You don't believe me? I have made an entire list of reactions when I decided to reread my fic(warning--pretty long):

 

-Audri is Mary Sue

-COPIES ROTG STORYLINE

-"never watched the movie"

-Grammar issues

-Cupid's outfit (how the heck is she not cold??)

-Excessive punctuation

-Characters are meh

-Author's notes bleh

-OOC Jack Frost

-Audri, you hypocrite

-10-11 years old and talking about love

-Sheila part in chapter 4(tad racist there...)

-"What's my center? I don't even know why the moon made me Cupid!!!!"

-Room & clothes ready for her and they knew her for 10 minutes like WHAT WERE YOU THINKING

-"mate"-Bunnymund(again being a tad racist)

-JACK U WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE JAMIE BELIEVE WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT

-Who needs clothes with color?

-the kids aren't alright

-Jack has his own bedroom in the workshop. when did that happen

-Frozen quote

-Jack kiss kiss falls in love conveniently the day after Audri does

And it's pretty much in order! I'm sure I missed some stuff, but as you can see I am not very proud of myself. I was even reading some of the comments making fun of the story, and I was like "true, same, haha you have no idea."

But some time ago, my sister saw how popular Frosted Arrows was and she asked me why I haven't updated for, like, a year. I told her I'm just not happy how my story is and people just want more of it. Then, she said this:

"But you came up with a story. With plot. It's better than some others, honestly."

I'm not really into comparing myself with others, but I somewhat agreed to what she was saying. Frosted Arrows copies the movie at times, but I had a plot of my own somewhere deep in there. Also it has more of a plot compared to some other fanfictions, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a good plot, since some of it isn't mine.

I am not proud of the plot and writing style of Frosted Arrows, but I want to fix that. I considered deleting the story altogether, but then I had an idea.

Remember that part/chapter/author's note thing where I said I was coming up with a sequel? I was thinking I could merge the plot of that and bit of Frosted Arrows so I could make something original, something that doesn't copy the movie. There are little plot bunnies in my head on what the new Frosted Arrows would be about. Btw I don't think I'll be calling the story Frosted Arrows anymore...

But this is going to take me a while because it's been such a long time since I even typed a draft for this story, and I have to cOME UP WITH A NEW PLOT.

SO TO THE ONES OUT THERE WHO'RE GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY SLOW UPDATES AND BASH ME WITH COMMENTS, PLEASE RESPECT THAT I HAVE A LIFE AWAY FROM WATTPAD I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST INTERNET CONNECTION I AM NOT SURROUNDED BY ELECTRONICS ALL THE TIME AND I DON'T WRITE 24/7

I apologize for that, but it is not fun when you constantly get notifications saying that someone commented on your story: "update" or "oh my god just update idk what's taking you so long!!"

I'm sorry to the people who expected a real chapter. I know some, probably most, of you guys wanted more. But I can't tolerate my old writing skills any longer. I promise you, I will try to make Frosted Arrows a much better fanfiction for you to read.

To the readers who are angered with me, I am sorry to you, too. You obviously loved Frosted Arrows and where the story was headed, and you stuck by it. But the truth is, I am not happy with this fanfiction. At all. I literally cringe for a few seconds and I remember typing some of the stuff and feeling confident about it, and yeah... Please respect that what I write is supposed to make me happy, too. But thank you for liking my fanfiction even though I think it stinks now.

Now, to the ones who are actually excited for this change. I hope you like what I come up with later, and thank you for respecting my choice.

It will most likely take a while for me to even get the first chapter out, because I need to go back to square one and I'm usually picky with my writing. So please keep your patience with me.

Thank you for letting me take away, like, five minutes of your lives. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me, I will try to answer as many of you as I can. And please, no spamming!

Bye~
