Dementophobia • tyler joseph •

annoucement

hey, guys,

there's something i would like to discuss. although i haven't been active in posting anything there recently, i still check up on this account and i still try to read everyone's comments because i'm extremely thankful for the feedback.

however, i think i need to bring light to some issues. most of the comments are on this story (especially here recently) and on the sequel have been very rude and hateful. everyone is entitled to their own opinion, which i understand, and i appreciate any feedback positive or negative, but there have been many many times where i thought of unpublishing the entire dementophobia series altogether.

i started writing dementophobia when i was fourteen and i believed i finished it around fifteen or sixteen. i was very uneducated in certain topics that are mentioned throughout this story at that time in my life. now that i am nearly nineteen and have experienced much more of life, i wish i could go back and rewrite everything correctly.

unfortunately, i cannot because i am now enrolled in college and working full-time.

now it it cycles back to the question of do i unpublish a whole four book series? do i get rid of something that i put a lot of work into?

as of now, i will leave dementophobia up because i do know this series has brought people enjoyment and people have became attached to the characters.

all i ask is

- please be kind and respectful in the comments even if you are criticizing something!

- understand that i am aware that i have handled topics wrong

- understand that when i wrote this i was just an overly excited boy who wanted to get updates out as soon as possible which led to rushed writing and plot holes

- dementophobia was my first ever story so the rushed writing and plot holes were destined to happen

- and finally, understand that dementophobia was considered my baby for many years so to reinforce, please BE KIND

in closing, since i do still check this account, if any of you guys wish to talk about anything, my messages are always open along with my twitter which will be listed at the bottom (beware i still go by my birth name because of certain people who follow me so pardon the confusion) and if dementophobia wasn't your cup of tea, feel free to check out my other works, which i promise are much better!

thanks!
