Hello, again

2 min read

It's been awhile and, despite my best efforts, I have new watchers. Seems like a (re)introduction is in order.


Hi, my name's Suzanne and I think my writing is decent enough that I'm not embarrassed by it. On here, I upload my poetry but I also dabble in fanfiction. That I'm more embarrassed by, but we deal. I'm 21 and planning on heading off to law school in the fall. My birthday is on Dec 4, not the 7th but I've lied about a lot of things to dA when I first signed up all those years ago.


I've been in a long-term relationship for four years now. That coincides close enough with when I stopped posting on here. He's a good man, but he's not the best muse. I like that; I've had enough excitement and enjoy "boring" now. It suits me.


I have no idea how long I'll be sticking around for. I had three poems I wanted to touch up, one of which I posted already. I don't know whether I'll be a tormented soul again or whether I just need to artistically vent over the last thorn in my side. Can we play it by ear?


Now onto being humble: I appreciate those of you who stuck around in my leave of absence. I'm not the most social on any social media, but the kindness is noted and appreciated. I'll chalk it more up to you liking my old stuff and hoping for something new than not clearing out your watch list. As for the newbies, you're the most pleasant surprise of all. While a lot of my old writing - of all varieties - I find to be supremely cringe-worthy, it's nice to know it had a longer shelf-life than I expected. I hope you'll like the new things I'm churning out. And, if not, no offense taken.


And here's the plugs for where you can find me more often. I don't know how dA works anymore, how you submit to groups and all that fun exposure stuff. I feel like a goddamn dinosaur. Here's the sites I know how to work:


tumblr: main | writing


ao3 (clearly not that embarrassed)

Hi there, everyone. Been while. Hope you've all been well.

I'm wrapping up my first year at an actual university. Graduated high school last May with my AA so I only have one more year of classes left. This semester had been the roughest since I had to write a research paper required for my graduation. It's on German guilt in contemporary discourse surrounding the Holocaust. I'm a history major. My school doesn't offer any German history classes outside those focusing on the Holocaust and WWII. The Nazi-era is important to study, especially for Americans in this moment when then number of parallels are striking. But my specialty is Prussia from 1712 - 1918. It's a bummer not to talk about what I love and know best. I plan on writing multiple histories and biographies, though. Someday I'll be paid to never stop talking about this. It'll be worth it in the end. 

I'm excited for summer. It's my second summer in a row not taking extra courses. It'll be nice to relax and recharge. I haven't had much time to write non-academically. I've written some fanfictions because those are easier and take less out of me emotionally. I want to write poetry again, but I don't know on what. What I really can't wait for is reading. I got so many books for Christmas and my birthday, but I haven't been able to read them yet. There's so many classics and recent releases that have been untouched on my shelves, quite a few biographies on Frederick the Great and studies of Prussia I need to finish. I'm excited. The stuff I have to read for my classes is interesting. Learning about modern China, poverty in Latin America, and Amercia's economic history has all been much more exciting than I thought it would be. But there's nothing like the books you want to read, that there's no pressure to get done by a certain date and are for pure enjoyment. 

I don't come on here much anymore. It gets boring when you're not producing much or what you are producing has no audience anymore. But, I check in every now and then. Go through the notifications for my groups, check out the art and journals of who I'm following. I'm here, but not fully. Don't hold it against me. 

If you want to reach out I'm more active on tumblr as oldfritz there. I'm also fairly active on twitter as thesuzannediana.The latter's mostly political, but I do have a fandom account called gilbobeil. Reach out if you want, but there's no pressure. Most of us weren't very close anyways.

If you watch me for my poetry only, don't worry. I'm staying here and will continue to upload my poems on dA. 

My fanfictions, on the other hand, will no longer be uploaded to dA. I've had a great run on here with them. This was my first site where I ever posted them and, for a long time, that's what the majority of my following was about. That's changed and so has the landscape of this site. The only popular fanfic in the Hetalia fandom here is reader inserts, a genre I've never taken seriously and refuse to participate in. And even those are receiving less interactions. The fandom on tumblr, ao3, ff.net, and (now) amino remain fairly healthy. That's where I'll post all my stories from now on. In fact, the last two I've made have been exclusively on there as opposed to in the past when I cross-posted on all sites/apps I'm active on. 

If you want to continue reading my Hetalia fanfics, this is where you can find me at on each of the sites: 
Ff.net: tearsofbreakingglass
ao3: princessdi
amino: oldfritz
tumblr: inkstaineddove

Thank you all so much for the continuous support. I hope to see you elsewhere on the internet :heart:
