Hey guys, been a while since I posted in this book huh?

I just wanted to talk about how I'm feeling at this current moment with my writing and everything, and where I think everything is going in the future.

So, as you all know (because I won't shut up about it), next fall (2017) I will be starting college. I thought a lot about my current writing schedule, which is atrocious, and I thought about how that would work in college? In reality, it would probably be even worse. And I've seen that happen to a lot of writers: they go off to college or start a job and they just don't have the time anymore. And I know that a lot of you on here are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, but a lot of us are 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. We're getting ready for college, or getting a job, or just trying to start our lives, and, as painful as it is to say this, we have to grow up sometime. I hate when I see people getting harassed for deciding to stop writing because they have school or a job. Fanfiction is something we do because we love a band, just like buying merch or going to a show, and stopping doesn't mean we love the band any less. When I decide to stop writing, it won't mean that I love Paramore any less, just that I feel like it's time to move on from fanfiction. And I owe apologies to countless people for convincing them to stay and keep writing when they really didn't want to, and I'm sorry, I should've respected that you all needed a break, and shouldn't have persuaded you to keep doing something you were no longer interested in or passionate about. I just want everyone to understand my reasoning, we all have to grow up sometime. And I personally love how accepted I've been here, on buzznet, on tumblr, and in all the fandoms that I support, and I love you guys, I love talking to you and be being a part of this incredible community that we have built together, and I will never forget any of you, and hope I have the good fortune to keep in touch with you and possibly even meet you someday. 

That all being said, I will not be starting any new stories going forward. Instead, I will be focusing on finishing my current works. It will probably take a long time to finish them all, at least that's what I'm hoping, because I don't think I'm ready to leave you guys just yet. But I will eventually, we all will. And then one day, hopefully, we'll all look back and remember our generation, and how crazy it was for us all to be a part of a big community that loves and supports each other like we do.  

My point with this post was that, while I appreciate everything you guys have done for me (seriously, you have no idea), but one day this will have to end. And I don't plan on stopping anytime soon (not with a new Paramore album coming out!), but whenever I do get done with my stories, that will be the end. 

'Some of us have to grow up sometimes', just not quite yet. 

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for reading this, and I love you guys. - Harley
