Hello, fellow readers.

As you can see, Darling hasn't been updated in many weeks.

I'm hitting a shipping/writing rut in regards to KakaSaku, I've documented my feelings and chronicled them on my Tumblr (RouxThePoptropican).

"What does this mean for Darling?" You may ask.

It's never been a joy or goal of a fanfiction writer to abandon nor refuse to update a story, it's quite depressing actually. I need to be honest with myself and most importantly, YOU.

KakaSaku is a oversaturated market, it's very easy to feel overwhelmed and insecure. As there are many, many, many excellent writers. For me, I feel like I don't have much to offer... Which deeply saddens me. Now, I'm not leaving you hanging on a cliffhanger. You're awesome fans.

I will continue to write (Darling) but it may be shorter stories, you may tend to see my lack of interest or lack of charisma in it. I'm doing my best to continue writing my story, however, the lack of reviews and engagement is what acts as a detterent for me.

In short, I'm branching out. I am a multisaku shipper, afterall. I have two WIPs going for me (IruSaku and Sakumo x Sakura).

Darling will be continued, I made an AO3 (ElGatoLaNegra), I'm gradually abandoning the KakaSaku fandom and I will continue to write.

If you want to talk to me, go on my Tumblr. I answer Asks, questions and do prompts there.

I'm found here on (main) and am on AO3 (ElGatoLaNegra). Darling is found on /AO3, AO3 needs more reviews and kudos.

Thank you so much for your patronage and viewership.
