Hello, everyone! Long time no see. How are you guys doing?
I have an important announcement to make regarding LDE and its future. This may come as a surprise/shock to you, but since I have observed it, this became necessary with time and cannot be helped anymore.
So, the previous chapter, i.e., Chapter 29, was the last chapter I posted of this FF on the forum; after this there will be no further updates. Those of you guys that waited for the chapters must be wondering why, so here is the answer:
LDE has always lacked a loyal reader base. From the moment Niki and I decided to write this story with excitement to the dwindling readership which began to haunt the FF right after the third chapter- it has only made me wonder: Who am I posting it here for? When I started to post the chapters from my own account after Niki stepped away, I had an inkling that things might improve, and for a fraction of the moment they did- thank you for that. But, as it came to be, this wasn't enough!
Except one or two regular readers there were none. I know many of you read, but from a writer's perspective that is putting it on the internet, it was meant to be read. However, its fate was something else- no regular readers whatsoever. And nothing, which requires equal reciprocation, ever survives the indifference from the source of its life- in this case, the readers.
My life has gotten busier in last few weeks, and I would have given the FF the required time currently for the sake of the readers, but as mentioned above, there are hardly them; and many, many times it appeared that I was throwing everything I wrote in the dark and ignorance. I'm not blaming any of you, don't think that please. Probably my tone suggests that, but it's not so. I'm not angry, no. But with full right on the disappointment part I have reached this conclusion.
I have taken this decision after thinking quite a lot- 3 weeks, to be honest, and it's one of the hardest decisions I have made. Though one thing is to be remembered that I am not quitting writing the story and abandoning it. I will still continue LDE (and finish it), but without any deadline of posting it on here 'on time'.
So, I hope you will forgive me for this and we'll still be able to interact some how.
Thank you very much.
Love you, all. :)
