Dear new and old readers of Antisocial Media,

I want to start this letter off by saying thank you. I know most creators say this, but really, without you, this series would never have happened. I was just a kid when I wrote episode one, and because of you, I reached about 55 total episodes, published and otherwise. You all helped me grow as an author and as a person, and for that I thank you. In fact, you guys are the reason I'm writing this explanation instead of just randomly disappearing off the face of the earth.

Anyways, enough about that. I'm writing this today because I owe you all an explanation. Season 2 wasn't supposed to be the end. Episode 24 wasn't supposed to be the end either (even though it's literally called the end--that's irony for ya!). And I'm not saying this is the end, someday I might bring AsM back, in one way or another. I'm just saying that for now, this series is on hiatus with no future plans.

I actually don't know what I'm saying here--sorry, I guess? I would give an explanation, but that wouldn't fix anything. Basically what happened was during Facebook Week, I found it harder to connect with my characters, even though I had so much planned for them. It was like I couldn't do their voice anymore, like being friends with someone since preschool, and growing apart in middle school, like you're trying to stay friends but you just don't have anything in common anymore. Also, my opinion of social media changed. I'm not as into Tumblr anymore (wow, shocker!), and I don't know all the current memes, which makes it difficult to stay fresh.

These feelings continued to grow as I tried to work on other episodes, until I just couldn't write anymore, or at least not for AsM. I did finish a few episodes and excerpts, so if anyone's interested in that, I'll make another update later. 

Eventually, I decided that I need to move on. I'm not working on any new projects yet, and Idk if I'll post them on Wattpad, but I'll keep writing, and I know you'll all see me again. I'll still be around.

"But Jess, what about ptf-and-asm?" First, I'll address PtF. Ari is still one of my best friends, but they also decided to end their series before they could start season 2, sadly. I don't know Ari's plans, but I'm sure you could ask them. As for the blog, I've been using my original tumblr "i-writethewebsites" less and less lately, and that also goes for ptf-and-asm. I don't have any plans to delete the blog, but I'm leaving that in the hands of Ari for now. I'll also be archiving screenshots in case something does happen to it.

One thing I've had difficulty with is that I feel like I owe it to the world to post an ending. I owe it to my characters, I owe it to my readers, I owe it to myself. But I don't think I can right now, at least not a satisfying ending that will wrap everything up the way I want it to. I do have records of my old plans, art I would post at the finale, how each character would complete their own stories, and if you all are interested, I will post them in an update.

Lastly, I know this is disappointing. I know no amount of  "sorry" or  "writer's block" excuses will make you happy about my decision. I know, I've been in your place many times. So this is why I'm posting this now. I want you to have an ending, even if it's not a true ending. 

I love you all, and thank you for making a twelve-year-old's dreams come true with thousands of reads, hundreds of comments, fanfiction, an official tumblr, and many great readers who have become great friends. Thanks to you, I've discovered many things, like my love for screenwriting, which will hopefully lead to a career in that field someday. Thank you all and I hope you go on to do great things.

Stay golden, web fans!
