Feel free to skip this chapter and wait for the real imagine which should be out soon.

Hey readers, it's Mel.

I feel like I always apologize for how little I update this. I'm sorry I take so long. When quarantine started, I was on fire with the updates. I had just fallen in love with Robert Smith and the Cure and my mind was just filled to the brim with fantasies about Robert Smith. Then I got the idea to put them down into writing and here we are.

Now, I've found myself in a bit of a rutt. I get ideas but as soon as I write them, I feel discouraged. I want to be a good writer and actually make a living off of writing. Though I am not in any way ashamed of writing fanfiction, I want to make it the least cringeworthy as possible. I want people to read my book and be hooked and heavily immersed in the stories, something so well written it can be a good book that you actually want to spend some money to read. I want my Robert Smith imagines and all my other works to hook you in. Your feedback on my writing is always welcome.

Anyway. I've been quite busy for the past year. I have work and school. Aside from that, mental health issues. A lot of stuff is going on in my personal life that I don't feel that it is appropriate to share here. Don't want to be such a downer. After all, many people find solace in reading. Wouldn't want to make an imagines book all doom and gloom- although it's very fitting considering we are fans of the Cure.

I am saddened to say that because I am very grateful for all of my readers. I remember being 16 and I saw that there wasn't much of a community for Cure fans on here. I wanted to put my fantasies into writing and hopefully find a likeminded community of people who loved Robert Smith just as much as me. Seriously, you guys are great. And I'm so happy to make requests for you.

I'm saddened to say that this book has taken a bit of a back burner to many of my other writing projects. I have many projects that I've been working on for years, long before this one. I almost forgot about this book because at one point, requests slowed and not many people were reading this. I'm not going to sit here and pout about how low I score on the tags or something because those mean nothing to me. I just can't help comparing myself to other creators on this platform and how they can actually update consistently and keep their audience hooked. I feel a little self conscious about my own writing but please don't confuse my statement with me seeing them as competition because I don't. I'm an avid reader of their stories, giving them nothing but appreciation.

Am I giving up on this book? No. I love this community too much to quit. Writing makes me happy and this is something I'm proud of creating. I will still be writing because it's my life! I won't give up on this book anytime soon.

Requests are always open 24/7. I don't think I'll ever close them. However, Wattpad is very glitchy on me and people often send me requests and they get deleted. So, my solution would be submit you requests through the following:

1. Comment section- mostly for suggestions

2. DM on Wattpad- you can still do that but sometimes it gets deleted. So I will screenshot just in case it does

3. DM me on Twitter or Instagram (in my bio)

Also my rules regarding requests. I did add it to the chapter where I explain my policy on requests but in case you haven't seen it. I will update it here.

I will not do anything that has to do with suicide or self harm. I'm sorry, as some of my readers are suffering from depression and some of you may be seeking some comfort. However, those are very touchy subjects for me.

Normally, I don't like to turn down requests. I like to make others happy and feel included. I wish everyone the best in life, even if it's not going so great right now. But for the sake of my own mental well-being and battle with depression and anxiety, I want to stray from those subjects. I apologize once again. I hope you can understand.

Regarding the type of content...

There isn't a way for me to put a voting poll on here so you guys can tell me in the comments. Would you guys like to see more 18+ smut stuff or more SFW stuff? Of course I will always put a tag in each chapter title to distinguish the spicy stuff from the sweet non smutty ones. Just want to hear your thoughts.

Anyway, I leave you with that. I'll still be here, working slow as hell but working on this nonetheless. I just wanted to get this off my chest. By the way, request in the making, should be published soon! See you guys later!
