2019 UPDATE:

Hi everyone! It's been a long time!

If you've followed me on Tumblr, you may know I've gone through some stuff these last few years (a total burnout, a few nervous breakdowns, coming to terms with an abusive childhood, coming to terms with being trans... you know, fun stuff like that). I am no longer writing under MetalPrincess13 and I am no longer posting new stories on this site. Nothing against ... I've been on this site in some way or other since 2002. I've just come to prefer the set up of AO3. You can find some of my works from this site uploaded on AO3 under MetalPrincess13 but any new stories are posted under Essence_of_Silence on AO3.

I don't plan to finish Secrets Kept, though I have been toying with the idea of a rewrite on AO3. I do have a few chapters mostly done for Beyond the Walls and will probably post them sometime soon. I'd like to finish that one up but I really don't know if it'll happen. I have a couple of fics in the process of being written that will likely start to go up on AO3 in the next month or so. I will only be posting longer fics when they are actually finished... so they don't end up being like Beyond the Walls or Secrets Kept with years between updates and ultimately staying unfinished.

Thanks for the support throughout the years!
