Long time, no see, friends.

I got on dA as a wee Freshman in high school, and now I am quickly approaching my senior year, last year, of high school- whilst I shall spend a tooshload in preparing for college and such (fingers crossed, I am hoping to attend the Savannah College of Art & Design in Georgia, despite the very slim chance I will be able to).

My fan fiction, mErcy, was started when I was going on as a Freshman, and as such, is shamefully lacking in decent writing skills...

Yeah, I did not grasp how to write very well at that point in time.
As the years went by, my writing skills have increased well enough to be (hopefully) noticeably different.

(Hopefully).

As such, my word that mErcy will not be continued remains firm. Each week, a chapter of mErcy is planned to be thrown into my scraps as part of cleaning my dA account.

HOWEVER:
As each chapter is scrapped, a new chapter for the reboot titled "Breathe" Will be released. Every weekend.

I didn't plan to continue on with creating it, but I couldn't help myself.
The first chapter will be up this weekend!

It will be a re-write of mErcy, will contain BEN Drowned creepypasta (of course), will continue as a Reader insert & CYOA, etc.
But, of course, it won't be exactly the same.

Gotta make thing very interesting, with oodles of creepy and just, much, much nastiness.
I'm very excited about it! C:

Thank you, friends <3

<sub>.:mErcy will be continued! Choice B is all caught up, and now the merge chapter (for both choices) is up:: xwillow.deviantart.com/art/mEr…

Which is awesome.
Because Choice A wasn't touched since last December |D

I was originally planning on continuing the split, but this is much easier to keep up with.
But I will continue to stick more CYOA choices into future chapters c;
Here's to hoping I can flex .:mErcy out into the super-monster of a story I hope to do!

There will be a few changes, though. Instead of being a BEN DROWNED x Reader fanfic, I have decided to make that whole romance jazz more of a subplot...it will inevitably happen (like mErcy was intended to be), but I also want to focus on a plot more personal to reader's character.
Sort of like a whole journey, adventure sort of thing.
Ha :,D
BUT THERE WILL STILL BE MANY BUNCHES OF BEN.
I PROMISE.

please don't kill me.



I also plan to upload more art, and play with my style a bit more
I need more skills, yo!

And hopefully join more rad RP groups if I can keep up with them.
And get around to writing an actual creepypasta for Lon. But it wouldn't really be creepypasta...or at least, to me it wouldn't be.
I like the anonymity of some pastas...Lon's just wouldn't be the same without that :c

And then hopefully get around to everything else I have to do but continue to procrastinate on.


Willow out! <3</sub>

<sub>Last week was a fairly busy week for me |D
I spent most of it trying to cram for the ACTs....I had to take it early in order to be in College Algebra next year, needing at least a 19 in the Math section.

I feel more like I probably made a 2 in the Math section.
But only a 2 if I'm that lucky.

It was horrendous; all the other sections seemed pretty easy to me except the one I needed to do my best on |D
I felt like they were trying to ask me to calculate the square root of purple when multiplied to the mass of all the stars in the universe but subtracted by zebra stripes.
I was like

"waht"



BUT NOW IT'S OVER WITH SO YAY.



NOOOOOOOWWWWWW

I can focus on mErcy! :,D


ALSO YOU GAIZ MY NEIGHBORS GAVE ME AN OLDISH WACOM TABLET AND I'M SO HAPPY AND STEADILY LEARNING HOW TO USE IT

<sub>Okay so wow.

I haven't been on dA since January, I think.

Since then I've had to give a lot of good people goodbyes, get rid of few people who were just...not great people for me, and I've had to make some pretty big decisions about some stuff. Just a big steaming bowl of life splashed me across the face for these past couple of months...good and bad pits.

Fingers crossed, the bad stuff should be over soon enough, if it's not already.

On the bright side, I went through ALL of my feedback messages and read through every single comment, over and over. Even if I may or may not have replied to them, I read through them ALL.
And I was absolutely hysterical; the feeling of reading through them and seeing what you guys think about mErcy and other things just touched my heart to pieces. Some of them were hilarious to read, and I loved reading them. I was sobbing and laughing throughout the entire feed (as childish as that may seem...)

You could say I was

SOBBAUGHING.

^{Now my family is kind of staring at me weird-like because I'm at the office computer OTL}

But seriously tho. My readers and their thoughts and comments seriously mean the WORLD to me.
When I started writing mErcy, I was in a dark place. My heart was broken to pieces, I was convinced that I was worthless, my weight was waaaaaayyy under and my parents kept worrying that I'd end up in the hospital. I just didn't care about anything except sitting in my room and lying on my bed and going over and over in my thoughts of how tired of everything I was and how I just wanted to disappear and sleep forever. I'd listen to my music and stalk dA all the time, when one day the idea of mErcy popped into my head whilst listening to the song (which is so obviously called) mErcy. I typed up the prologue and the first few chapters and carefully decided whether or not to upload it. I was scared to death to hit the submit button.

But I did.

(I had to work up the courage not to delete it right after submitting it, tho).

And then I got a few comments of how this person or that person liked it, so I continued. I know it sounds silly, but honestly, my readers are probably the only reason I'm still here today. The feeling of knowing that these people genuinely like something that I put a bunch of effort into was overwhelming, so I continued mErcy and it just sort of grew into this awesome story that I'm so excited about. I had so many ideas for it, and twists and turns, and so much.

And it's all because of YOU GUYS.

YOU SERIOUSLY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME.
LIKE
YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

But you know, life got in the way...Updates slowed until they finally went into a halt.
Now that everything is calming, and it's summer (and it's about the time for mErcy to hit it's one year anniversary (which is July 1st), I've been thinking of continuing it again.

But first:
I'd like to know...

Should I continue mErcy or nah, since it's been so long since it's last updates...?
