What happened to brittlepin?

i just noticed yesterday that her profile was deactivated while checking my to-read list as I can no longer access one of her (?) fics. Can somebody tell me when did it all happen? It made me sad cos she's a really nice writer who takes time to respond to comments and interacts with readers. I personally dislike people who walk out on us like that but knowing the kind of person she is, I'd say she did it for a good reason and I don't have the right to judge her on that. I just wish she comes back to AFF as I love some of her stories, too bad I didn't get to read all.

Losing a good writer like that . If any one of my favorite writers leave again like that I don't even wanna know what I'd become. I don't want to feel sad over things really. I just wish AFF will be able to keep this place a harmonious and peaceful community for writers and readers to co-exist, that you wouldn't think of leaving no matter what the circumstances are.

** Realizing that brittlepin actually recommended two of my fave abo fics of all time (thru her omegaverse fic list)and introduced me to those writers whom I hold dearly for life, my heart is definitely crushed. I owe a lot to her and I hope she finds peace and happiness whatever her decision may be.

this is her response on redbunnies/zyxisagod's livejournal:

"This post made me realize how much I put up with that I shouldn't have to put up with.

I killed my AFF account and locked my AO3 and LJ. In no mood for sharing anymore fics with anyone. Depending on how well I fare this summer, I might peace out of EXO ficdom as well.

I thought I was selfish for thinking such things, because readers have that magical way of making you feel guilty no matter you give them. But when some form of realization dawned on me I became so mad, so upset. If I didn't have any friends in the fandom I would've deleted all my accounts and probably paid more attention to rl activities, but I stayed back mostly for my friends, alas the active twitter T-T

This entire post is both eye-popping and distressing, and it boggles me how some readers STILL don't understand it. And all those convos on twitter, by god.

I usually try to motivate people to keep going, hold on a bit more etc, but here, I honestly think it's better to wrap up this mess and make it the past ASAP. It's a mental anguish! I hope this decision has a positive effect on you and everything around you. May you find it in yourself to bloom again \o/"
