Ending Speech
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the subscribers, commenters, silent readers, upvoters, viewers, haters, and anybody else!
I’ll first start off by saying I’m sorry for all/any of the broken promises, because:
I am retiring from Asianfanfics.
It’s been five long years and I’m proud to be a pioneer to see it improve and unfold to the Asianfanfics today. These days, though, I just can’t keep up anymore. I’m growing older and life is demanding more from me as an “adult”. (Whatever that means.) I never thought I would leave as I see each of my pioneer friends and authors go one by one, but here I am. I finally understanding that it’s not so sad to leave, because all things come to an end, the good and the bad (and whichever side I’m on).
I won’t delete my account, just so you know. I’ll try to visit from time to time to see how everything’s still up and running, because Asianfanfics has been in a special place in my heart for a long time now with other kpop stuff.
The funny thing is: I never knew why I wrote my last story, Lost to Memories. I know that it’s not as famous as my previous work, trust me, I know haha. But I never knew why I would sit down every night, typing this story, letting the flow take me and I could go on and on. It didn’t feel like a chore and I wasn’t completely in love with it either, until now. Until now when I’m writing this ending speech, in the moment, when I realized how much this story actually meant. Not only is it the last fanfic I will ever write, but the whole way through, I have written about characters constantly overcoming situations, obstacles, feelings, and especially about them moving on. The epilogue, I think, certainly created a new aura around the setting, showcasing a new beginning. Wow. I never realized how much this story really connected with my leave. Haha. And if I have learned anything from my story, it is that it’s okay to leave, because I will always have memories of each one of my readers, friends, favorite authors, stories, many other wonderful times I had on this site.
So, this has been kkhihi. Instead of a goodbye, I’ll say what I had said before. “Until whenever we meet again.” Probably in a different place and a different time ^^
