CHANGES.

causticmayhemx = Writing Journal.
xsideofparadise = Archive Journal.

This is not friends only anymore, I will add anyone who adds this unless I don't like you and then, well, I won't. Because it's my journal and I can choose to not add you if I do not wish. Also, while you're at my journal, please act with a sense of class and decorum and respect. I don't tolerate immature assholes or pretentious assholes. So please be respectful.

NO FLAMING. It's pathetic, really. Find something better to do with your time. If you're here to start drama, then I suggest you click the back button because you're wasting your time. I'm here to write and share it with whoever wants to read it. I refuse to waste my time with people who aren't worthy of it.
DISCLAIMER: All of the stories posted herein are false. Some are inspired by what happens in my personal life or my friend's lives. None of this is true. I use the names and faces simply for amusement and because, really, who on here reads original fiction, anyway?
ALSO: Never accuse me of plagarism. No one has, but this is coming from a bit of kept-in ranting. I do not plagarize. I do not have the time to read every single story so if there are any similar parts in my stories and in someone else's, it's probably coincidence. I've had people copy my work before (on Quizilla, word for word) and I know how crummy that feels to have someone rip me off. I would not do that to someone else.

Thank you.

This is just a quick update to let any of you reading know what's been going on. I worked seventy hours a week this summer, so any spare time I had was spent sleeping and hanging out with my boyfriend. I'm not a fan of excuses--I prefer to just own up to my actions without trying to give a reason, mainly because my reasons are my own and of no importance to any of you. I'm going into my second year of college, classes start on Monday, and I'm going to have a hard time attempting to juggle everything going on.

In short, I feel I have moved beyond the slash world. I haven't read it in months, I haven't written it in months, and I honestly don't feel the need anymore. I don't have the desire. I have no interest in wasting my time. Writing has been a large part of my life for years, and I don't doubt that it will continue to be, only I will be working on original stories that I started years ago and abandoned for these sorts of websites.

In conclusion, I am removing myself from the online writing world. I would call it a hiatus, but I honestly don't think I'll be back and I don't want to say there's a possibility when I know there isn't. I'm sure this isn't shocking news and I doubt many of you actually care (some of you might rejoice, who knows) but that is what's been going on. All of my stories will still be available on this site and through my archive. I apologize. I'm going to miss it dearly. But this is something I have to do. Thank you for your time.
