Announcement
I had thought that with the putting of my fics into draft, things might settle down. Unfortunately, this has not been the case.
Today, I received another rude message on tumblr. It's not the only one I have received since making the decision to go into draft, but it was the last I recorded before making a decision.
This year marks ten years of BIGBANG, come August. A full decade of the 5 people who mean so much more to me than any words I could possibly put down. August is a month of celebration for VIPs everywhere, and I will be one of them.
As August comes to a close, however, I will be quitting AFF permanently.
With that date almost 8 months away, that gives me time to wrap up all of my multi chartered fics and give them the ending that THEY deserve. The fics themselves. Not a majority of their readers.
I am undecided, at the moment, as to whether I will keep them up for a set amount of time and then delete my account completely, or whether I will simply leave it be and perhaps use it to comment and encourage the fics that others write.
In any case, I will not be publishing any new fiction aside from the 30 Days fics and one other, effective immediately.
It was recently my 3 year anniversary on AFF. Three years. It feels like a lifetime. I have met some truly wonderful people on here, and it is unfortunate that I have had the bad luck of meeting some awful ones as well. Enough to guide my hand this way.
As a parting wish, I ask only this: If you do see people making rude comments, if you see fanfic authors receiving hate on tumblr, if you see blog posts where authors are stressed or wound up or hurting - support them. Support your authors, people. They work so had for you and they don't deserve that. They don't.
VIP fandom - I sincerely hope that you get your act together and grow as a community, but I cannot be here in the interim any longer.
It hurts too much.
To those who have stuck by me, I'll stick by you. I know that there are some people I will have with me forever. Some people have been so so wonderful and I am grateful for the good memories I have made here.
I am only disappointed with how many bad shroud them.
