hi Harshada,
I was reading the fiction, Twilight series more than 7+ years back and I was completely addicted to it. While browsing for information over the internet, came across that the author has released a drafted version of the same story being told in the other protagonist's POV. She had to upload draft version of that while still being written as the story has been leaked online and she didn't wanted to continue in that state of mind. I read in one of the interviews that if she decided to continue the story in that frame of mind then she would have killed off one of the protagonist.As a reader, I wanted her to continue the story after reading that drafted version. Mind that I was completely addicted to it. I always wished that she would some day complete that work. I know that its her story and if she wishes not to tell, then its her decision completely and we should come to terms with it. But you know as readers we are selfish(at least I am :-)) until this happened.But today after reading your update and note and the circumstances that have forced you to complete your story in a way you didn't plan it , I really understood what that author might have gone through seeing her work online while she is still working on it. I have been reading the posts and also your comments that let me understand your point of view and your thoughts.I was reading all the opinions of the individuals on the current track and I have read your note on how you would discontinue your story. But still you did come back and did complete your story to give a logical conclusion and I cannot simply stop admiring you for that. Even in your current frame of work, you still did think of all your readers.I can see how you have transformed Shivaay in your story and I think that's what you have wanted his redemption to be, though in a detailed manner.I just wanted to let you know that I have understood something from an author's perspective from you. I am not sure if I had been articulate enough to let you know what I felt on this.You have a simple, yet an elegant way of story telling and I loved your stories.Thank you.
Hello there. Firstly I am extremely sorry for being this late in replying. I did read this on the same day you posted and really wanted to revert back to this before but somehow couldn't.
I don't know your name so a bit unsure about how do I address you.
What you have mentioned is pretty encouraging, you know. In fact, I admire your efforts and time that you have taken to type this out for me. Trust me when I say, a writer's mental state holds very much importance in the stuff he/she writes. I am not sure about everyone but there are people for whom, writing is like a life line, for whom its a way of getting out things, for whom its more like will to divert mind from the terrible events of personal life. People do not realize before verbalizing and judging others on based on their knowledge. I believe, you are always pretty behind in knowing yourself and in that, if you are trying to know what is right and what is wrong, forcing your absolutely unacceptable remarks on others... then that hurts.
No dear. Readers are not selfish. They crave to read what they have started and there is nothing wrong in it but I think writers are human also. One should think of their mentalities as well, sometimes.
And I cannot stop admiring you for being here, in this way. Does mean a lot to me.
I adore my readers and everyone of them knows, that they do hold a tremendous importance to me. I have time and again let them know.
You have been. I did get everything you wanted to convey. I am a sucker of simple things. I mean, yeah, I can use adjectives, fancy words to make my stories attractive [ simply presenting them like a pro ] but then, I simply don't want to. I love writing with as normal words as I can. I am glad you liked my fics.
Thank you so much.
