Chapter 7: Update 2 (not a chapter)

Chapter Text

"Jinko where have you been? You haven't posted anything in like 20 days"

^No one has actually complained about me being gone but I feel like I need to explain.

So I had started getting ready to come back to this fic. Chapter 6 is started and partway typed through. I also have a oneshot that's a little over 2000 words typed so that's also a work in progress. As well as a ton of ideas with in-progress story boards.

But then something happened

My health has kinda taken a turn. It's nothing serious, I'm not gonna die or anything like that, but it has been a major problem in my daily routine.
Basically what's going on is that I'm sort of not sleeping. Like I'll sleep for a couple hours max and then I just can't sleep anymore. I tried taking a sleep aide and that caused me to sleep for 13 hours, which made things worse.
And I'm sure I don't really need to explain this, but when I don't sleep, it really messes with my creativity and I end up in a huge block cause I just don't have the energy to write. or at least, to write anything decent.

I've tried staying up all day and night and then going to bed between 9 and 10pm; that didn't work.
I took a smaller dose of sleep aide medicine; that didn't work.
I've tried asmr, subliminals for shifting, warm milk, meditation; nothing has worked.

I don't know why it's happening. I can only assume it's related to either stress or cabin fever from being home all the time. But I'm trying whatever I can to fix it.

It also could be related to anxiety because I actually just got hired for a state job (for anyone who doesn't know what this is or doesn't live in america, it's sorta like a government job. you have to take exams for them and it can take a really long time to get in but they have good pay and great benefits, as well as tons of potential for upward mobility). I haven't started yet, my first day is the 21st. But I'm very nervous about it cause it's a pretty different kind of job from what I'm used to.

So as far as my new job goes, what does this mean for the fanfics?
Don't worry, I'm still going to be writing fanfics and oneshots. I just may not be able to update super often, but I certainly will post as many chapters or oneshots as I can.

I know you guys have been waiting a long time for this story to continue. Finishing the idol Denki AU fic took longer than I was really expecting. But I will be back to continue this soon, I just need to figure out how to fix my sleeping issue so I can be healthy and have enough energy to write decent chapters for you guys.
(If anyone has any suggestions on what to do for my insomnia, feel free to leave them in the comments)

So yeah, I just wanted to give you guys a quick update on what's going on and why I've been gone for so long. I'm going to try really hard to at least maybe get some short and sweet oneshots done and posted so you guys at least have something from me.

Speaking of which, I wanted to ask your guys opinion on something!
So I was watching MHA again some time ago and there was this scene where they were talking about the hero costumes and they show all the students own drawings of their costumes. And when they showed Iida's sketch of his costume, I noticed that it actually looked really good. So I have this headcanon now that Iida sketches in his free time and I thought to myself "hey that would be a really good oneshot idea"
Originally I was going to do it with an OC of mine, but I don't think many readers are all that interested in OC ships. So I started thinking about what ships I could do for this oneshot idea and there's two I really like. And I want you guys to tell me which one you would prefer to see:

SeroIida or IidaUraraka

Let me know in the comments and I'll take a vote count :) I'm also going to ask friends in my discord for their opinions and count their votes as well because they are also readers of mine.

Thank you all for your understanding, I really hope I can fix my health issue soon so I can get back to writing fics and oneshots for you guys. But until then, I'll keep trying whatever I can and continue to work hard on making decent chapters and oneshots.
