You're so hard on your writing. It makes me sad because I love it so much. 😭 All your deleted scenes are so good in my eyes. Even if not much happens, a reason I love fanfic is that they give me those little moments that are missing even in most published works. I remember you saying once that you write too long of chapters and I completely disagree. Whenever I get an update I'm so happy when a chapter's long. Anyway, just remember that a lot of people love your work!

This comment made my YEAR! You are a star in my eyes, thank you for coming forward about this, and sharing your thoughts, it means the world to me!

I totally agree with you, I’d love to go fullhog and just RELEASE the chapters in their full length with no omitting and editing to shorten it to suit the larger audience, but I am always so worried that its real length would put off readers! And yeah, I have been thinking A LOT about you what said, I am too hard on my writing. I won’t deny it, and I’ve been really blind to it as well. It was only when I read your comment that I started to realize. I’m not really sure how to stop being so self-critical BUT now that I am better aware of it, I will remind myself to have fun with it, more often, rather than treat it as an exam set for failure! Because I always end up despising my own work, and belittling myself all the time. But hey, I am just anxious all the time! XD

And ahhh you like my deleted scenes? Bless you!! @ghostlydragonwings suggested to maybe add them as a chapter all of their own on FFN which I think I might do. There’s a lot of content, so I might add these chapters to the end of the original Saving Zim. And heh, I do live for the moments for these characters, as there is no pressure to ‘move that plot’ and they all can breathe, and share more intimate moments I had to reluctantly remove from its original story on FFN.

And thank you for reassuring me about chapter length! Really. I am so super grateful! I kinda get carried away, and it does hurt cutting stuff out, especially Prof.M and Zim moments, and all those little moments and emotions that add that layer. I guess I just love them so much, that I enjoy being carried away by their worlds, and then when I give it to the world, I’m worried they won’t enjoy it as I had done? I dunno. Again, I am constantly anxious, and have that worry on my shoulder at all times. 

And thank you again, you are amazing. Look out for those deleted chapters soon!! Work is crazy, and I’ve kinda last motivation lately, but BUT I will upload those chapters when I can! I promise!
