This has been circulating in my head for a couple of weeks now and I realize it couldn't have been at a more worse time than right now, but I'm barely even watching the show so to hell with it.
I know a lot of people will think "Oh great, she's an IshKara fan so now that Ishana's gone, she's leaving too" but let me correct that for you. Ishana is the least of my concerns. I am a die hard Shivaay-Sidharth fan (sorry ShivIkians, nothing personal but I see the chemistry there) and my obsession started when I saw a pic of the duo looking at each other. The last episode I watched of the show was Malika's entry and then I went and watched the episodes with the Sidharth.That ended with Sid walking out of Oberoi mansion taking a piece of my heart (and Shivaay's heart) with him 😆.
But in all honesty, I simply got bored of the show. The writing is lazy, they are taking no risks to move the story forward and having been in the writing business for so long, I'm constantly surrounded by good written material so this show just dropped off my radar eventually. The one risk they did take was Ishana and they got pressured by the internet blowing up and moral policing her character. They chickened out and scrapped the character entirely (and the actress is gone now too, so long Madame!) which only made it seem like they weren't confident with their writing. It's an instant turn off for me right there.
As a publisher, one thing I've been asked to look for in anything that comes my way is risks that an author takes and how well they can convert something that you think will never work into a masterpiece. One that really makes a story blow up and go big (ie: money). Even as a writer I've taken huge risks and being confident in my writing and myself, I've been able to gather some pretty loyal readers. The whole point of writing is taking risks (where's the fun in doing the same thing over and over again?) and I'd always hoped, maybe, just maybe these guys would take a risk and do something new. But alas, they didn't.
Granted not everyone is going to like what you write (when was the last time we all agree upon something 100%?) but you can do your darn best and show them why you're worthy of being called a writer. If you're not confident in your abilities, then why even bother doing what you do?
I'm pulling out from the forum not only because I've entirely stopped watching the show and have been drawing up story ideas for Sidharth and Shivaay (I write slashfics, deal with it 😃), but also because of some other factors. Specially one that involves me not spending so much time on here anymore. To my readers, I'm incredibly sorry but I'm removing my stories from here mostly as a safety precaution. I've had my work stolen before and I'm not taking any chances as I'm going to be revamping the story and doing the old switcheroo. I've enjoyed your support to the fullest and if you ever want to get in touch, you know where to go and who to ask.
Again, kindly do not take this post to mean "I'm leaving because Ishana left" and don't send me any PMs regarding trending for Vrushika's return or whatever. I don't care about that and it'll only be wasting your time and effort to send me PMs about this.
That being said, it was a pleasure getting to know you all. I hope our paths cross again in the near future.
Until then...
We've come a long way from where we began, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
