Hey everyone,
This has been sitting in my drafts (and my heart) for a while now, but I think it’s finally time I say it out loud.
I’m stepping away from writing new BFDI fanfictions.
I’ll still finish the stories I’ve already started—because I care, and because you cared enough to read them. But after that, I’m done creating new ones.
Now before anyone panics, let me explain why:
First, I’ve just been feeling… off. Unmotivated. Like I’m forcing myself to write stories that no longer light me up. And writing should never feel like a chore—it should feel like flying.
Second, some things happened. Things that really hurt me. I’m not going to spill the tea or name names, because that’s not my style. But I will say this: it made me seriously question certain friendships. And yeah, it stung more than I expected.
Third—and this one’s big—I want to grow.
If I’m going to be known, I want it to be as a storyteller, not just another girl writing fanfiction in the corner of the internet. I want to be someone who creates work that makes people feel something. And I can’t do that if I stay in the same space forever.
I’ve got a YouTube channel—Teal_Era Gacha—and I miss it. Like, a lot. I’ve been neglecting it while pouring everything into Wattpad, but now? I want to get back to it with purpose, passion, and full-on teal energy. I'm aware it's a Gacha channel and yes it isn't impressive, but it's one of the ways I enjoy sharing.
So this isn’t me vanishing. This is me evolving.
Thank you to the people who stuck around
Who commented, supported, reached out
You made this chapter beautiful
But now it’s time to close that book and write a new one
Same Era heart
Same creative soul
Just a new canvas
