Afterword
At over 300,000 words and around 1 year and 3 months, Raccoon Knight is officially finished.
I've never really finished any project of note before. Growing up with unmedicated ADHD, I've grown used to leapfrogging between interests and topics, never really finishing any of them or sticking with them long enough to develop long-term skills. This silly little fanfic about a raccoon-themed hero is the first thing I've ever stuck to. It came around right as I was finally learning to manage my ADHD in a meaningful way. Since I stuck to this, I figured I could stick to other stuff too. I decided to kickstart old hobbies and interests and to maintain a healthier schedule in my life. And it worked! Rather than doing it for a bit thanks to hyperfocus and then forgetting about it, they've stuck around as daily things. So, thanks to this, I'm doing a lot better in my life.
Raccoon Knight means the world to me, and it's strange to say it's over.
Originally, I planned to rewrite Raccoon Knight from the ground up as three separate 100k-word stories with clear goals, beginning, middle, and end, but I've decided against it. This'll stand as is, flaws and all. As far as other wormfics are concerned, I probably won't be uploading any more of them. Maybe my snippets thread will receive an update if the muse bites me, but most likely no more long-term worm stories. I'll still be here, reading them, since there are so many good stories out there.
Instead, my goal now is to focus on other hobbies for a short-term break. Then, I plan to write a shorter original story (less than 50k words) that, once finished, I'll post daily (no idea where tbh (any idea, let me know)). After that, my goal is to write a longer original story I've had brewing in my head. None of these will arrive for a while, so if you want an update (for w/e reason) when they do happen, let me know and I'll PM you when it does happen.
Thank you so much for reading and your continued support over the past year+. It means everything to me. Even if you hated RK and dropped it (and are somehow reading this), then thank you, too. Everyone has been so lovely, and I've met so many nice people.
Anyway, that's all. Bye-bye.
