B.S. Excuses
The reasons the writer’s didn’t have Caroline end up with Klaus was because it would be “disrespectful” to Stefan’s memory.
So what you're telling me that;
It wasn’t disrespectful when Elena kissed Damon, well Stefan traded HIMSELF for the cure to save his brother?
Or Stefan, repeatedly walking out on Caroline, wasn’t disrespectful.
So Caroline, is supposed to spend the rest of her LIFE, eternity, honouring the memory of the guy she was only married to for ONE DAY, when he choose to die to protect his ex-girlfriend (and you can’t tell me she wasn’t a HUGE reason for why he did that), and brother? 
That Caroline is supposed to set aside her own happiness, to honour a sham wedding that only took place to bait out Katherine?
EVEN IF, even if they WERE married, it’s been YEARS, (Lizzie and Josie were 4 in TVD, and 15 in TO), so even after 11 years, after over a DECADE, she can’t move on and be happy?
Now, let’s look at a different hypothetical scenario, if it was Caroline who died that day, they would have had Stefan ALL OVER Elena, in the primer of a hypothetical season 9 of TVD.
The only reason this happened was because Nina (I have nothing against her) decided to leave the vampire diaries, forcing the writers to think of an alternate romantic plotline. Caroline was literally treated like Elena’s understudy! 
So SCREW B.S. excuses, Klaroline should have gotten their happy ending, and them even attempting to use Stefan’s death, and “Steroline”, to prevent that, DISGUSTS ME!
(I knew their was a reason why I camp out on the Ao3 “Caroline Forbes/Klaus Mikaelson” tag like a little troll under a bridge, because canon SUCKS, and Klaroline fanfiction is my happy place.)
^^^This is my opinion, you don’t have to share it, or even agree, it’s just mine^^^

Rating TVD ships :
Stelena: 6/10. Paul and Nina had good chemistry and it was certainly the better option of the two main ships but I found them very vanilla and I take the stance that the brothers ruined Elena so I can’t bring myself to fully support it. Also, the retconning of this ship after season 4 always bugged me.
Delena: 1/10. Nothing about this toxic ship made sense and it was clearly done as fan service. Elena HATED Damon in the earlier seasons and it was clear her only loved her because of Katherine. Damon was clearly manipulative towards Elena, always controlling and undermining her, and I have already mentioned the fact that the Salvatore brothers traumatised Elena and ruined her life.
Steroline: 4/10. This ship had the sole purpose of giving two main characters an ending with another person. It was boring and they were obviously better as friends. However, they weren’t overly toxic or impactful so I didn’t mind them too much.
Bamon: 8/10. It was much better than Delena and their chemistry was good. Their time in the prison world was one of the only semi-interesting elements of the story after Katherine died . Bonnie deserved a dynamic love interest and she brouggt out the good in Damon, something that Elena did the opposite of. However, I don’t see the ship lasting as Bonnie is a very moral character and Damon is pretty much the opposite.
Klaroline: -100000/10. Everything about this ship sucked. His attraction and interest in Caroline made no sense and realistically she would be a brief fling at best. Her sleeping with the guy who essentially wanted to kill her best mate was shady and the fact that KATHERINE of all people had to call this out was honestly sad. Also some ( not all ) of their fans are so annoying, always complaining that they didn’t end up together and disregarding all of the pain that Klaus caused. Most TVD fanfiction revolves around either them or Dullena and this is really annoying to me, as someone who doesn’t ship them.
Forwood: 3/10. It’s better than Klaroline but it’s still toxic and both characters annoyed me when they were together. Caroline was better when paired with one of the other girls or Stefan ( as a friend ) and I thought that Tyler was always either boring or a horrible person.
Steferine: 5/10. Paul and Nina’s chemistry really shone with this pairing and they were interesting in season 2 but as time went on they became tiresome and Katherine’s obsession in season 5 was both annoying and completely out of character. I was much more interested in the Katherine / Caroline dynamic and also the Katherine / Elena dynamic than the Steferine one in this season.
Kalijah: -5/10. This man found a way to free her but chose not to use it and instead was going to allow her to die at the hands of Klaus. Then he got upset when she fled to stay alive and held it against her for years. Finally, when they had a fling in season 4, he broke up with her and betrayed her over killing ONE guy who was her enemy, conveniently ignoring the amount of innocent people that he and his family have killed. Everything about this ship, aside from the actor’s chemistry, sucked and the idea that he was loyal to her for 500 years is absolute bull.
That’s it for now, but I may do a part 2 with some non-canon ships or any canon ships that I haven’t covered yet.

SHIPPER CHALLENGE (idk man i just wanted to do one of these)
Pick your top ten ships without reading the questions.
1. hizzie - legacies 2. klaroline - tvd/the originals 3. forwood - tvd 4. klamille - the originals 5. steroline - tvd 6. rellamy - t100 7. rogan - gilmore girls 8. jude/cardan - tfota 9. clato - the hunger games 10. villadero - jane the virgin
Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you first started shipping 6? Idk man I shipped b*llarke for a reeeallly long time and then i kind of went into the braven tag out of curiosity and ended up loving them. i think my fave ep was either the one where they slept together or the s4 finale when raven promised to be by his side for always.
Have you ever read a FanFiction about 2? Yep, definitely, I have 200 KC fics bookmarked on ao3 and a lot of the fic I read in general is about them.
Has a picture of 4 ever been your screen saver/profile picture/tumblr avatar? Um, nope. At least, not of Klaus and Cami together, but I was using a cami icon for my blog temporarily.
If 7 were to suddenly break up today, what would your reaction be? Oh they already did and I haven’t gotten to that ep of Gilmore Girls but i’m fully prepared to be emotionally destroyed by it :’D
Why is 1 so important? Uhm because they are absolutely everything, all the tropes rolled into one beautiful package. Because their personalities are so strong and well thought out and they complement each other, they make each other better, their story is integral to the plot of legacies, they’re absolutely perfect, they belong together, and they just can’t quit each other lol. Enemies to frenemies to best friends to back to enemies to sirebonded lovers for the win y’all!
Is 9 a funny ship or a serious ship? Uhm they have like very little canon interactions and scenes together, so maybe a funny ship I guess. Especially because Clove is such a fierce and violent little thing, and she can be aggressive and heated in the moment but I also think she’s very cool and calculating when her rage isn’t getting the better of her, but unfortunately my wonderful girl is practically just a joke character at this point, and fandom dislikes her a looot. Like it’s been years and she was such a minor character, as was Cato so there’s not a lot of content for them at this point. :p
Out of all of your ships listed, which ship has the most chemistry? Either rellamy or klaroline.
Out of all of the ships, which ship has the strongest bond? Uhh, I can’t decide between rellamy or villadero. Rellamy have been through so much together, have been partners, friends, co-leaders, and have a wonderful relationship based on mutual respect and adoration. I think they’re each other’s ride or die and the circumstances of t100 definitely made that more intense. But also villadero have also been through a lot together, just in a different way from rellamy, more telenovella style ;) especially considering michael’s death and resurrection lol. And they are best friends, they speak highly of each other, they love and trust each other, and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together... You can see how it would be hard to choose lmao.
How many times have you read/watched 10′s fandom? I’ve only watched JTV once, I wasn’t interesting in a rewatch right now, but the relationship between the Villanueva women and the emphasis on family as well as romantic love kind of made it a comfort show for me, so I might rewatch it at some point!
Which ship has lasted the longest? Uhm I counted and six of these pairings have at least one or both dead characters (does villadero count??? idk) and a lot of them broke up at some point (rellamy was never together unfortunately :p) and then there’s rogan who had a breakup, infidelity, pregnancy, and ambiguous ending... as well as hizzie who haven’t gotten together and whose story is still unfolding (RENEW LEGACIES!!!!!). i’m just going to say jurdan because cardan is immortal and they’re both alive?? i guess???? idk.
How many times, if ever, has 6 broken up? THEY WERE NEVER EVEN TOGETHER THE WRITERS DIDN’T GIVE THEM A FAIR CHANCE, JUST A STOLEN KISS AND A ONE NIGHT STAND (*sobs*).
If the world was suddenly thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would make it out alive, 2 or 8? LMAO this is a good one because klaroline are literally immortal vampires and klaus is the original hybrid... but also jurdan have a fair amount of healthy survival instinct, combat skills, and general badassery (jude more than cardan), and there’s the fact that cardan’s immortal... i’ll just say KC because they would legit just be chilling in klaus’s mansion or in paris somewhere, not getting their brains eaten (they’re too dead for that! XD).
Did 7 ever have to hide their relationship for any reason? Not that i know of? at least not on gilmore girls, in the spinoff they did have to hide because they were cheating on odette *sighs as yet again another ship of mine is ruined by infidelity*
Is 4 still together? No because they’re both dead :’( maybe they’re together in the afterlife tho!
Is 10 canon? Yes but unfortunately not endgame :/
If all ships were put into a couple’s Hunger Games, which pair would win? Uhhh clato didn’t win in their hunger games so as much as I love my two violent babies I don’t think these two teenagers would win especially with the rest of these couples as competition... villadero would be out immediately because jane hates camping and she much prefers her romance novels to violence and gore, and while michael is a cop and would have some physical duress, probably?? i don’t think he stands a chance against the others. I feel bad not giving Cami the credit she deserves but she’s a pretty unexperienced vamp especially in physical combat so she’s out... raven has her mental durability/genius and both she and bellamy have physical strength and combat capabilities but I don’t think Raven building bombs will work against Klaus or Caroline lmao. I think forwood are the star crossed lovers and would make a good team, given Tyler’s werewolf senses and Caroline’s enhanced power as a vampire but Tyler might not survive... no one’s going to overpower the original hybrid, not even jurdan, so i think either KC, or CK if klaus can keep cami from being killed (which yes she can handle herself my wonderful independent bb but I don’t think she’d survive Raven mf Reyes), would win.
Has anybody ever tried to sabotage 5′s ship? Uhm does Klaus count? Because he didn’t seem to keen on interfering since he had his own problems to deal with in NOLA and seemed happy that caroline and stefan were happy together... IDK i haven’t watched past s4 but i think a lot of obstacles came in SC’s way in s6? was it someone named cade? and also wasn’t alaric into caroline too? (ew gross go d*e you pedophilic old man jfc)
Which ship would you defend to death and beyond? villadero, klamille, rogan, and rellamy
Do you spend hours a day going through 3′s tumblr page? No not really?? I do search for forwood content tho even if the fandom is practically dying :/
If an evil witch descended from the sky and told you that you had to pick one of the ten ships to break up forever or else she’d break them all up forever, which ship would you sink? RUDE! But uhm I guess clato since they never got together in the first place?? Or KC because as much as I like them they weren’t really ever on the same page in their lives to get together anyways and the fandom is pretty awful (and I’m only talking about the bad apples, I know a lot of nice KC shippers who I enjoy talking to!)

Meine Einzel-Fics Teil 2:
Good Omens-Fic: Lieblingskind
Basiert mehr auf der Mini-Serie als auf dem Roman. Vages Crowley/Erziraphael. Eltern sollten alle ihre Kinder gleich lieben. Und die meisten Eltern werden, wenn man sie darauf anspricht, behaupten, dass dem tatsächlich so ist, dass sie alle ihre Kinder gleich gerne haben. Falls ihr zu den Menschen gehört, denen von ihren Eltern immer wieder versichert wurde, dass sie euch genauso sehr lieben wie eure Geschwister, habe ich schlechte Nachrichten für euch: Das ist eine Lüge! Und die Tatsache, dass sie euch ins Gesicht lügen, bedeutet natürlich, dass ihr eindeutig nicht das Lieblingskind seid.
The Vampire Diaries-Fic: Still Standing
Damon kann und will nicht mehr weiterleben und will sich neben Elena austrockenen lassen, er hat die Rechnung allerdings ohne seine Freunde gemacht, die nicht einfach nur daneben stehen, wenn er aus tiefer Depression heraus einfach aufgeben will. Fix-It für Staffel 7 und 8. Delena, Steroline , Nora/May Lou, Matt/Penny, Benzo.
Vampire Chronicles-Fic: Blood Connection: A Tale from the Vampire Chronicles
Covid im Hintergrund, alle schrecklichen Dinge, die jemals in den Vampir Chroniken passiert sind, werden erwähnt. Mehr oder weniger alle Paare, die jemals vorkommen sind spielen hier herein. Ich habe diese Fanfiction im November 2021 zu schreiben begonnen, doch dann war der 12.12. 21 gekommen und Christophers Nachricht stand vor meinen Augen. Für Anne,
Danke für alles. Niemand sah es kommen. Vielleicht waren wir zu selbstzufrieden geworden. Vielleicht hatte die Tatsache, dass wir die letzte große Tragödie überstanden hatten – die zweite große Verbrennungswelle – uns dazu gebracht uns einzureden, dass wir sicher wären. Vielleicht waren wir zu sehr auf uns konzentriert gewesen und hatten zu wenig auf den Rest der Welt geachtet.

Revenge, Interrupted (Part 24)
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18  19  20  21  22  23
A/N: *waves* here it is, 6 months later! (sorry) I’m a bit out of practice but please bear with me 🙏🙏🙏 the drama is just beginning :D
They had settled into a little routine the past week.
They woke up together. Stefan hit the gym and Caroline got ready for work. Caroline went to work and Stefan read a book. Caroline returned and they hung out for a while. They made a pillow slash blanket fort one night and fell asleep in it, tangled up in the blankets as the fairy lights twinkled above them. Sometimes he cooked, once they got dinner at the diner, some days he barely saw her if she was with Bonnie and Elena the entire evening. They went to bed together.
It worked just fine for him, he told himself and Lexi. They were a couple in front of their friends, and in private they kept a platonic distance.
Well, that night in the pillow fort had been almost magical, with the two of them laughing and cuddling more than they would have, but for the most part, they were strictly just friends. Stefan avoided touching her, and they barely ever kissed in front of their friends, sticking to pecks on the cheek.
But Stefan found himself missing the old intimacy they'd shared. Surely there had to be a line between angsty confusion and the distance he felt in his heart right now.
"Stefan. Mate."
Enzo's voice interrupted Stefan's train of thought.
"Hm?"
"What's up?"
"Nothing just... bored."
"You do seem excessively broody. All okay? I haven't seen you with Caroline in a while?"
"What do you mean? We went to the diner last night."
"Oh, right. That. Can I make a confession? I never particularly liked the food there. Too greasy for my taste, and I despise cheese fries."
Stefan shook his head. "So you pretend to like it because Bonnie does?"
Enzo nodded. "The things we do... anyway, I have to run."
Stefan stared into space as Enzo hurried out of the loft. Enzo was right, and he had all this time on his hands. Caroline deserved a treat or two her first week as a working adult.
This had nothing to do with him missing her or anything, of course.
~*~
Stefan checked his watch. She should be out any minute. He leaned against his car, slightly nervous.
Nerves, after everything they'd been through? It was ridiculous.
The doors burst open and Caroline walked out, chatting animatedly with a girl covered in tattoos and wearing heavy black eyeliner. Her gaze landed on Stefan and she came to a stop, a smile lighting up her face.
All the anxiety Stefan had been feeling literally evaporated into thin air.
Stefan never smiled much. Damon never let him forget it, slapping the "broody" label on him when he was nine years old. But with Caroline, Stefan smiled without meaning to, and all the time.
He grinned back at her as she across the street and threw her arms around him.
With her body pressed against his, her hair falling into his face, and the beautiful flowery scent of her shampoo intoxicating him, Stefan didn't feel those oceans between them. Despite himself, he lifted her off the ground and spun her around, letting himself drown in the sound of her laughter.
"Your boyfriend is hot, Caroline! Nice." Came a voice from the distance.
Stefan put Caroline down and they both turned to the girl Caroline had walked out with.
"Thanks Davina, see you tomorrow," She called out cheerily. She flashed Stefan a dazzling smile again. "To what do I owe this pleasure, Mr. Salvatore?"
"Oh, just thought I'd surprise you. With it being your first week and all."
She shook her head, her blue-green eyes glinting mischievously in the sunlight. "We aren't all trust fund Salvatores. I've done plenty of internships before."
"Yeah but you know, this time it's for the rest of your life."
"Wow. Depressing."
"Don't worry, I have another surprise planned after."
She perked up at that, but before Stefan could get another word in she suddenly stepped back and pulled out her phone, tapping furiously and then holding it up. "Well, we shouldn't let this opportunity go to waste."
"Right." Stefan felt a tiny invisible punch in his gut. Or maybe heart.
She quickly took the selfie and sent it to her group chat with the girls.
"So, a surprise huh? Spill."
"Nope."
Caroline let out a disbelieving laugh. "No one has ever succeeded in keeping a secret from me. Not even my parents when I was turning four. I'm the Queen of Pester Power, copyright Liz Forbes 1995."
"I think your dethroning is long overdue then, isn't it?"
Caroline narrowed her eyes in mock suspicion and got into the car, slamming the door shut.
Stefan sighed as he made his way to the driver's seat. What the fuck was wrong with him? He didn't even understand what he was doing. Was it some form of masochism?
He wanted more than anything to have a safe distance from Caroline, be nothing but good friends, and when he finally had that he went and did something to destroy it. And then felt bad when Caroline acted the way he'd been trying to.
Maybe he wasn't that different from Katherine.
He hadn't felt this conflicted since her. His other relationships were all so easy, so uncomplicated.
But love? The only time he could say that he'd been in love for sure was with the woman who lied to him, messed with his head, cheated on him with his "friend" Elijah, gotten him hooked onto drugs far worse than the weed his friends teased him about, and basically turned his life inside out. He didn't even remember it properly. It was all a haze of drugs, sex, pure hedonism and Katherine. Just Katherine, everywhere. Her long dark hair and tight dresses. The shine in her eyes that had fascinated and terrified him. The way she convinced him she both adored him and made him feel like she would leave him to drown if it suited her. 
Despite it all, she was the only woman he'd loved.
Maybe Lexi was wrong. Maybe he was more like her than he'd admit. And maybe love really was complicated and painful.
"Stefan?"
Caroline was looking blankly at him, but her voice betrayed her concern.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, just... brooding, I guess." Stefan smiled grimly.
"Your knuckles are white" she motioned to the wheel Stefan had been gripping far harder than he'd realized.
"I just... could be having a better day."
"Oh."
"Don't worry about it."
"Stop the car." Caroline said suddenly.
Stefan pulled over and Caroline turned in her seat to face him.
He gulped, suddenly aware of the tiny distance between them in the car, his mind wandering to the night at the party despite his best efforts.
He wanted nothing more than to touch her again, kiss her lips, run his hands over...
Nope. Not going there.
Caroline seemed self-conscious too, breathing carefully as she composed herself. "What's wrong?"
He couldn't help it. Caroline was easy to talk to.
"Maybe I'm more like Katherine than I thought."
"Your evil ex? Stefan no, Damon told me about her. You're so noble and kind and good-"
"Then why do I want to do exactly what she would do?" He heard himself whisper hoarsely.
Three things happened then. Caroline's forehead creased in confusion. The radio changed songs and Hypnotic came on. And Stefan Salvatore closed the gap between him and Caroline Forbes.
His hands were everywhere, up her shirt, in her soft hair, cupping her face. She was kissing him back, mirroring his urgency as she pressed herself into to him, her hands tangling in his hair. Stefan kissed her neck, eliciting loud sighs from her and making her scratch his back as she moved closer to him, her legs travelling against his and sending shivers down his spine. He got the message and gripped her hips, swinging her onto his lap, her arms going up around his neck as she gasped a little.
Stefan decided that was probably his favourite sound in the world.
She was straddling him now, grinding slowly, sensuously, mercilessly, sending shock waves of pleasure through him. Instinctively, Stefan recaptured her lips with his and resumed exploring her body, caressing her smooth skin as they made out heatedly. The high and sheer satisfaction drowned out any guilt or self hatred that might be lurking in some corner of his mind.
"Don't stop" Caroline sighed as Stefan's fingers slipped under her skirt, her grip on his arm tightening.
Don't stop, Katherine had said as they'd been parked in a dark alley and Katherine first had him try her drug of choice, rewarding him just like this when he'd gone through with it.
No, this had to stop.
Stefan pulled away, his chest feeling hollow as his body longed for contact with Caroline again.
Her confused gaze fell on him.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that" Stefan croaked miserably.
His words seemed to snap Caroline out of the lust-filled haze they'd been in. Her cheeks slowly reddened and she looked away, mortified.
"It's fine."
Stefan hated himself.
She moved back onto her seat and the ride home passed in silence. The first-class tickets to the latest romantic comedy in theatres felt heavy as stones in his pockets.
~*~
"What's wrong, Stef? Do you want some of this shake?"
His misery must be written all over his face if Damon was being nice to him.
"No thanks. I'm okay."
"Come on, you aren't. Tell me."
"It's Caroline. Just usual relationship stuff I guess. Feelings."
"Ah." Damon nodded wisely. "That old girl. I had that issue with Elena too." He opened his eyes wide and fluttered them in imitation of Elena. "You don't communicate enough, Damon." He said in a high pitched voice. "I never know what you're thinking, Damon. Sex isn't communication, Damon."
Stefan just sighed and went back to scrolling through Twitter. "Look at what Trump just tweeted. Fucking clown."
"Don't change the topic! Fine, if my relationship is too sexually unrelatable for you, maybe Enzo here can give you some advice."
"Don't look at me mate, Bonnie and I never fight."
"Never?"
"Nope. It's quite, how do you say it? Quite chill."
"No conflicts? No jealousy?" Damon prodded.
"Nah."
"Weird."
"Yeah, that's abnormal" Stefan added.
"Whatever, college relationships are different, I suppose. So, excited about your job starting next week?"
"Actually, I haven't accepted yet."
"What? Why?" Damon asked, shocked. "It's an NGO, Stefan. Your dream job, Mr. Do-Gooder-Save-The-World."
"Yeah, but I heard back from the publishing house today and it pays better. And I like books too..." Stefan trailed off.
"Oh, money-minded Steffy. I like it."
"Then I know I'm making a mistake."
"You have your whole life ahead of you, mate. Do what you think is best for right now." Enzo piped in.
"Take the one with more money and easier work and fewer hours, dumbass." Elena stood in the doorway, grinning manically, with Bonnie in tow, her expression unreadable.
"Uh, thanks. You good?" Stefan replied.
"Yes! Guess what? The boys get to town tomorrow!" She squealed.
"Boys whom?" Damon narrowed his eyes.
Elena huffed in disbelief. "Um, hello? My boys! Our boys!"
"They aren't my boys, let's be clear on that." Damon glared.
"The Mystic Falls gang! Tyler and Matt!" Elena squealed.
"And Liv" Bonnie added dully from behind her.
"Oh, I was just going to say Penny, but I heard she and Matt broke up, right?" Elena asked.
"Yeah, they did, right before the trip. Yikes." Bonnie grimaced. "He was a mess. Sheriff told me she found him wandering in the woods one night."
Just like they’d found Stefan the day Katherine had dumped him, high and disoriented and a wreck.
"Oh god. He probably needed the break then. Tyler’s probably helping him hook up with girls in every bar in the country," She smiled.
"So-" Stefan cut in. "Matt and Tyler are both Caroline's exes right?"
Elena giggled. "Oh man, I'm so used to Caroline being the jealous one"
Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but it's no big deal. We were all kids and we've known each other forever. Lots of drunken hookups..." She pursed her lips.
"Yeah, Care and Ty broke up the first year of college and as for Matt, he was like a rite of passage." 
Bonnie shot Elena a WTF look and left.
"I mean, I dated him too! He was Bonnie's first kiss. Good old Matty-blue-eyes, blond-haired All-American boy straight out of a Hannah Montana countryside TV, sweet and safe and the first crush of nearly every girl in our class..."
Noting Damon's expression, Stefan changed the topic hurriedly. "Oh, okay. Well, have fun. Would, uh, Matt's sister be coming by any chance?" Stefan asked casually.
It worked: Damon burst out laughing. "Vicki was Stefan's stoner buddy."
"Oh, I don't know. She wasn't in any of their road trip pictures. Actually, all the pictures have been of the boys. Let me check..." Elena walked back into their apartment.
Damon turned to Stefan. "Should we be worried? Am I being crazy, or did I get the vibe all three of our girls are in love with these Mystic Falls townies?"
"You say ‘Mystic Falls townie’ like our mother and cousin don't live there and it wasn't our favourite summer destination growing up."
"I don't know, I liked the Bahamas."
"Seriously, Damon, Stefan, don't worry over nothing," Enzo said.
Stefan's phone buzzed and his heart skipped a beat. 
But it was Sarah calling, and he decided to take the publishing job. It had nothing to do with the fact that the building was around the corner from Caroline's workplace.

Hey, how are you? Do you remember me (the fan that does not have the best spelling)? I'm sorry for disappearing, I was going through some dilemmas of early adulthood. Thank you for always being a safe haven for the Steroline Shippers. Lost Boys Like Me Are Free is one of the best stories I've ever read, and, sorry for the curiosity, but will you continue it? Thank you for everything!! Xoxo
Of course I remember you. Please don’t apologize for going and living your life. It sounds like you’ve been very busy organizing your life, so really love, it’s alright.
Your message is literally so sweet. I don’t know if I would ever call myself a safe haven, but the fact that you even believe that is an honour. LBLMAF is a hard subject for me if I’m being honest. I sort of gave up on writing it because I figured that I’d waited too long and no one would really read it anymore.
However, it was always one of my biggest regrets that I never finished it. And some lame part of me always wondered what would happen if I altered it and actually tried to send it off into the world as an actual book and not a piece of fanfiction.
So long story short, I don’t really know. I’ve gotten back into writing recently, but if I did finish it, it would probably be more for the outer world and less for the internet. Although, I would obviously let you all know if it actually made it to book form.
Another thing I considered was just putting a summary of how it ended online so people knew, but then the book wouldn’t sell soooooo. Like I said, it’s confusing lol.
That is a very long and convoluted answer, but I really appreciate you sending me this message. Let me know if you’d actually still read my stuff, because lack of readers is a legitimate fear of mine. 
Sending you all my love!
