PSA: Looking back, I’ve realized I misspelt Adiv a LOT. Please don’t be confused. I was probably tired. Now I can’t figure out how to edit the chapter. From here on out, once Chapter 2 is posted, it will be spelt “Adiv”. Thank you for your patience, and sorry if I confused y’all.So. First Destiny fanfic. First fanfic I'm posting here.I know some things might be odd, or incorrect, or even a little iffy to some of you. But, frankly? I wanna have some fun with this. Lots and lots of fun. I rarely see long Destiny fics. I never found one past 30 chapters. I don't know if mine will go past that, or if this will be found, but I want to explore some things. I wanna write. I want feedback, I want to see interactions with my ideas. And this is the way to start.As you can see, there's a lot of writing below. Given this is my first A/N but not my first fanfic read on AO3, I have a general idea of how this'll look.Please, be gentle. I know it's a bit weird to say, but I am very sensitive. Critique welcome, just.. not slurs or hate. Please. I'm very nervous about those things.As you can probably tell by the length of the prologue alone, yes, I'm very, very keen on long chapters if I can help it. If you like that sort of thing, I suggest reading "In Living Memory", a Dead by Daylight fanfic that's 1Mil+ words long. It's pretty quality, and I enjoy it, so if you're a fan of longer works or reading in-between work updates, that one's finished. Go check it out after reading if you want!! (Not by me)Edit on 10/11/21: It's been a long time. I have no excuses. However... Here is my life update for those curious.I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Before this, I was convinced in full that I had High Functioning Autism. I do not. In fact, I am due for a trauma assessment.However, on a good note, I've been taking a liking to Islam. I feel safe wearing Hijab. I would not say I am Muslim just yet, but I might become such in the near future. Regardless, it's more than overdue that I work on this again. It's a work of passion not meant to be neglected.If you're finding this sometime in the far future, please forgive me for any confusion you may have. If you're familiar with how many authors use their stories as something to channel their stress, then you probably understand these ramblings.I, too, used to binge FanFiction into ungodly hours in the morning. But please, take care of yourselves and sleep more often. Don't end up like me.With that in mind... sleep well.
