Happy Wednesday!
I come today with big news! I ACTUALLY HAVE AN UPDATE OF ‘YOU IRRITATE ME’!!!!!! I’m so excited to be working on this story again. I think it might be just what I need to get the creative hanfic juices flowing again. The layout’s a bit wonky, but it does work. Please just click right in front of the word you want to access (Chapters, Soundtrack, etc.) and the page should load. I’ll try to update the layout so the buttons are visible again in the next few days. [EDIT- Layout is now fixed!] I’m also working on the next chapter of Revelations, so that will be coming soon as well.
I realized that I had posted my reasons for not finishing FFL on JSOR, but not on here, which I apologize for profusely. The decision just came at a time when I wasn’t posting here regularly. So here is what I posted there:
After MUCH thought and consideration, I have decided to not finish Fine, Fine Line. This story, and Tumbling Down as well, were quite autobiographical. At times, they were far too much so. The guy I based Taylor off of for these stories consumed me emotionally for four long years. But now, I’m past him. I’m with a wonderful guy who I’m crazy about and the old guy is far, far behind me. I know that continuing to write this story will stir up emotions I just can’t bring back up.
I feel terrible about leaving it up in the air. I had the entire story planned out, but I’ve tried to write it and it just doesn’t work any more. I made the mistake as a writer of putting too much of myself into a story and it backfired on me terribly.
I sincerely apologize to fans of this story. I wish I would have been able to finish it for you, but just can’t bring myself to write it any more.
So that’s my story and I unfortunately must stick to it for my own sanity. I so appreciate the support you all gave me with these stories and I’m sorry to leave you all hanging.
But, in happier news, I’m doing my own awards site! I’m still in the process of setting up the nomination ballots and the like, so it will be a few weeks before I get it going, but I have the site up and want to share it with all of you! The link can be found –>here<– and it’s my own little homage to the Academy Awards. I hope that everyone has fun with these as I’m super excited to be doing my own awards site!
Thank you SO MUCH to Jenny, Diana, Madeline, Toni, Maria, and Lena for leaving me love after the latest update of Revelations. Please check back soon for an update of that! You guys are amazing!

hey, I tried to read the second chapter of YIM because I am so psyched for an update on that story, but I think the link isn’t working. It won’t let me click on anything. Thought I’d let you know, cuz I am DYING to read it
