I'm sorry everyone, I really did try to power through this slump. The last maybe 20 chapters have been a chore to write honestly, and I haven't been the most proud of them. When I started this fic I looked forward to every free second dedicated to adding at least pieces towards the next chapter and I haven't been that way for a while now.
I tried to chalk it up to my job just draining me, but after waking on my day off and feeling a sense of dread (maybe not that extreme but couldn't think of anything else) when I went to try and write the next chapter. The plots I came up with originally just kind of came to me at random I didn't have to sit down and think what would be the best path to take or whatever.
But I think it's for the best (for myself) if I take a break from this story, at least for now. Yup you heard right, this is potentially just a really long break. However I would recommend you remove the book from your library if you're like me and don't keep anything in it that doesn't update regularly. I'm sure you'll find me one day in the future on the recently updated tab and who knows I may start another FF or an original story in the meantime.
I just felt I wasn't keeping this one to the standard that I wanted for it and it was effecting me too much. Even though almost all of my comments and reviews are positive I couldn't help opening this account with the feeling of my heart dropping from anxiety, and I would get anxiety just thinking about writing it.
Hope you all can understand that and once again I'm sorry for potentially dropping this FF, but hopefully just a long break.
Now let me drop some recommendations for other TBATE fics
"TBATE- a force to be reckoned with" This was the fic that made me want to write my own TBATE FF definitely go give them a read( though I'm sure if you've read mine, you've probably read theirs)
"TBATE: Abnormal One" This author seemed to be influenced by me a little bit and even added the Phoenix lore that I started, so give them a read as well.
"TBATE: Osiris" This is a new Fic that has some promise and I hope the author will keep writing it (ironic I know) Though some people won't like him basically taking Arthur's place, I look forward to what they have planned
"Reynolds Hamsworth" Good fic but doesn't get updated often. Still a fun fic that I enjoyed reading.
"TBATE: The Next Stage" I'll be honest I found this one late and haven't read up to the most recent chapter, but they seem way more knowledgeable than me about the later aspects of TBATE as shown by the very intro. It's a bit wordy imo, but still a great read for Novel readers, and comic readers if you don't care about spoilers.
That's all I got, go give these authors some reads and I hope to see you all in the future either on another FF/story or if I return to this one.
Thank you all for being so supportive of this Fic and my writing.
Thanks for reading.
