You were a monster to write this much. I would have suggested to try your hand at RR then Amazon before contracts, but that's also fickle since revising chapters would have took double the time for your original stories. I am at my third grade, and I will be in a similar situation as you. Writing is not bad. I too started writing but I write pretty slowly and have few views in RR since last week. Even if you write 1 chapter a week, it's fine. Some write only 1 every month or so and on hiatus for a long time. It's all about taking action and also having fun. You tried, and will try, to have no regrets. Best of luck.
I really don't get it. I am not able to support you financially right now😂 but you write better than 99% of the Fanfiction writers and your commitment is even further than that. The quality of your works is amazing and it's shows in the details how thought out and research is gone into them. I hope everything works out for you and you wonder on your thesis. If you do start to work than may you find a job that gives you some free time for writing. Weekly Updates would be wonderful if chapter length is enough. It wouldn't break the immersion. Thank you for your continuous efforts and let's go forward together for much much time.
