I still love my old works-in-progress, and I always convinced myself because of that, I'd eventually finish writing them, but I'm finally going to admit defeat due to how much my life and my fandom interests shifted in the years I couldn't write at all. Even when I got back into writing, I couldn't seem to get back the headspace that birthed these fics. Canon had moved on, my fandom friends had moved on, and I still spend more time plugging away at original fiction than even my new fandoms.

So I'm marking my old fics discontinued and continuing my new habit developed on AO3 of only posting completed works so I don't end up in this situation again. Thank you everyone who was a part of my X-Men fandom years. I'm sorry I was accidentally out of the fandom before I learned how to control my own writing habits and weaknesses. I'll try and crosspost more of my new stuff again but I'll understand if it's not the stuff any lingering subscribers are interested in reading.
