Don't mind me. Just over here silently mourning the loss of this site. Honestly, I was kinda hesitant to say anything at all, but as I continue to post things on ao3 and tumblr, I mourn my early years here. Be it on this account or one in my old home fandom.
Was feeling a bit nostalgic, but this site has changed so much, in some ways, for the better. In many other ways, for the worst. Most of my favorite authors have seemed to have moved as well. Sometimes I just come across them elsewhere on the internet, sometimes they themselves say it. None of my "bookmarks" on this site update anymore and every passing day this place feels more like a wasteland. I'm just another nobody who once called this ghost town home. Pretty sure a good chunk of active users on here are now bots. Wish this place was still as beautiful as it was back in the day. Filled to the brim with sometimes great, sometimes mildly cringy works, where grammar felt like a suggestion and a lot of people got their start. It was never hard to find a good fic back then. Back before Coins and ads. When my silly little compilation of incorrect quotes was the funniest thing I'd ever written. When Spiral was a character who I didn't bother to completely flesh out, rather I just wrote and let her guide my metaphorical pen. Back when I though Wolftale was the pinnacle of my writing talent.
Sometimes I wish things never changed. I'm an adult now. Isn't that something? I graduated. Tried and failed to fix my mental health. Lived through a natural disaster right atop my hometown. I never stopped writing. I still have stories to tell. It's a shame that this place is no longer somewhere I want to write them.
I feel like this might be my big goodbye. After my inactivity and watching from the shadows. I think I might need to let go. I loved this place so much, and will cherish every word I wrote here. If things ever get better I might come back. But until then,
Goodbye.
