Hi there!
It looks like you canceled your domain myfictionaldays.com. There are a few ways you can get it back:
1. Wait. The domain is released into the market about after 7 days if it was canceled within the refund period. You can then register the domain at another registrar. However, note that this method is risky as anyone can register the domain before you have a chance to do it.
2. Repurchase the domain. We can send a payment request to you via email. Once you’ve paid the domain registration fee, we’ll restore the domain for you.
3. Upgrade to an annual paid plan. If you want to use the domain with your WordPress.com site, a paid plan is required. If you upgrade to a yearly paid plan, we can restore the domain at no extra cost for you. That’s because our yearly plans include domain registration for the first year.
From the second year onwards, the domain and the paid plan will be billed separately. And if you choose a monthly plan, the domain registration fee must also be paid right now.
We have a short window to restore the domain. So please let us know as soon as possible how you’d like to proceed and we’ll help with the next steps.

Hello, thank you very much for the reply. I have just upgraded to an annual paid plan on my WordPress account. What are the next steps to retrieve the previous domain? Thank you.

Thanks for confirming.
I’ve restored your domain to active status and you can confirm it’s visible here, and set as your “primary site address”

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
