Hi all. I've needed some time to get the courage to post this. The other day I posted a thread in response to someone that was hurtful. I had recently gone through a traumatic experience and in turn took a shit on people who didn't deserve it and are incredible.
Hi, this is me. I'm sorry for the deception. I'm moving on from this account, but I have many friends here and if you would like to remain so, you know where to find me.
@MessyBunEdTeach I've had a lot of these thoughts in the past, and it's definitely formed my writing, down to the fact that I don't describe the characters in my fics and try to keep them as separate from the actors as possible. But that's me, I can't judge others.
@wesmanderson I do know! I've just realized that I need to make a lot of changes in how I view myself and how I engage in social media, and if others can use my experience as an example and choose not to do the same thing, I'll feel a lot better. You're a saint and you deserve this.
@wesmanderson It's never worth it. I know how much I pour into my own writing and the realization that someone else might be turns off of doing that due to criticism is not worth it, ever.
@wesmanderson Thank you for being so amazing, Wes. I won't be finishing your SMAU because I want you to feel safe to write whatever you want the way you want without judgment, but I 100% support you and vow to not do this again. Write what makes you happy.
I've made a vow to myself to direct only positivity towards creators and if I read something I can't handle, to just stop and move on. The only thing worse than hurting yourself is hurting someone else who is just trying to communicate.
Hey, I want to thank Wes for being so forgiving for what I did, and also want anyone who is still following me to know that this is right. We can't take these things out on other people. We can't let our hurt hurt others. Please learn from my mistake.

My actions hurt people and also hurt the only place where I have felt safe and seen, and I don't know if I can go back to feeling that way about OFMD or its fanfiction again. I hope I haven't tainted anyone else's enjoyment and I hope you all feel the love you deserve.
