➜ I'M LEAVING ((you should probably read this))

I'm not sure if anyone remembers this, but awhile ago a certain 2min shipper made a huge deal about leaving the site, and like a domino effect, many aff users followed. I think it's about time I join them.

 

My run on here's been fun. I've only been on aff for a measly 2 years, but I've sadly outgrown the site. I'm no longer invested in kpop, and I hardly ever listen to it anymore. On tumblr, I see people spazz about exo's comeback whereas I couldn't give two s. Don't get me wrong, kpop's fine, but it's just not my thing anymore. I honestly can't call myself an inspirit anymore, nor a shawol or kissme. 

 

And I have personal reasons as well. This year, I'll be a senior. I have to start applying for colleges and scholarships. And now that I have car that guzzles up gas like a muddafuqa, I have to start looking for a job. In between all this, I'll have AP classes as well. The very little time I'll have left over, I'd rather devote to fandoms I actually participate actively in, such as Hannibal, Sherlock, Doctor Who, etc etc. 

 

There's just no room for kpop in my life anymore.

 

And this is getting a bit off topic, but I really don't dig the vibe of the site aff has evolved into. Everything's one big popularity contest in which I'd rather not be a part of. People obsess over who's on the most popular authors list and who's featured every Friday. Not to mention that god damn confession blog on tumblr. It's ridiculous. It's immature.

 

I'm done with it. 

 

Maybe I'll come back one day (that's one helluva maybe). I truly do want to finish some of my stories bc it's awful that I've left them the places they're at now. I myself dislike it when authors do that, but now I can see where they're coming from.. Still awful though, and still, my fault. I know.
 

I'm debating whether or not to link this on my ongoing stories as a headsup to my subbies, but I don't really want a massive tidal wave of notifications, drowning me in guilt from their outcries of 'YOU HAVE TO FINISH [insert fic name here] THOU!!' 

 

Eh.

 

To anyone still reading this, thank you. And if I've ever talked to you on this site or had a conversation, thank you for the companionship, but I gotta leave now..

 

So until next time~

wow, I am kind of sad but I really see what you mean.. these days I look at many communities that have become something that I absolutely despise and in a couple months I will be in a similar situation as you, last year of school before college.
I really hope the best for you (: good luck with being a senior and thank you for your stories♥ take care!

Truthfully speaking I'm really greatfull towards you. Your fanfic Pleasure Kitten was my very first Myungjong fic. I was never really into Infinite and I only came across that fanfic because Vinseop was on the tags and I thought that the plot of the story was really interesting. But after reading that fanfic I started to like Infinite more and more and Sungjong became my ultimate bias.
It's really sad to see you leaving aff, but I support you ^__^. Usually I'm one of those silent readers in this website and only comment when I feel it's necessary, but I felt like I should show my gratitude towards you by writing this. Because of you I am now an Inspirit and a proud one. Again, I thank you. <3

Whatever your choice is, I support it! I hope you do well in school and enjoy life. Maybe you grew out of K-Pop because its all very similar. I don't even know why I'm still in the K-Pop fandom. It has something special though that English music doesn't have. I don't know what but it just does. I've been thinking though that if I did get bored of K-Pop, what would I do with all my posters and albums? I don't think I'd have the heart to sell them XD
If your thinking of de-activating your account instead you could just update your stories saying your going on a hiatus for a while. Because you did say you wanted to finish them and I think if you deactivate your account you lose your stories on it. If you do choose to deactivate your account go ahead its your choice I just offered a suggestion to try and help you ^.^

WAIT!!!!
What's your tumblr?
I feel that same way, Sherlock, doctor Who, and Hannibal I love them all, way more than Kpop. I just can't leave yet. I don't know why. I'd really like to talk to you on tumblr about those 3 amazing shows, also, you NEED to watch Merlin, to survive. You'll stop breathing if you don't. Just saying.
I hope you get this.

NOOOOOO OMG NOOOOO I've been waiting for more updates on the infinite fic and ;-;
but you know, I don't blame you and I won't hold it against you. I understand. I just hope you comeback later when you have time and tell us how you're doing, etc. :) Though I'm sad you won't be finishing your fanfictions I was so freaking devoted to... for now, I'll just write my own ending ;) thank you ~ <3 btw, Senior stress , let me tell you. I didn't have to worry about getting my license and having a car (until now) but worrying about college is a big thing. Though I advise you not to worry too much. Things will happen when they're supposed to. Just roll with the punches and whatever happens, never let yourself get down or lose faith. <3

Well do what you have to do, I know the feeling. I graduated last year so i know the pain of senior year with writing and although I still love to write, I just don't have the time to update regularly anymore. AFF is extremely popularity based now and most serious fix writers have switched to livejournal to get their work out. So I guess you can keep that as an option too? But oooooooh I feel you for the Doctor Who love. That is my shooooooooow.

Any who, do what you feel is best for you, and I don't think we've talked before or maybe we have just a little bit but I hope this helps you figure your stuff out. I think you should keep writing as an open option though. Not to post and for whatever fandom or whatever reason, jut to write. It helped with my senior year stress and it may help you ^.^
