Leaving The Fandom (Again)
10 years ago
Since I just sort of "vanished" the last time I left the fandom almost a year ago, figured I should make it a little more official than before, for the sake of being absolutely clear.
Do -not- expect me to upload anything to here anymore. For serious. The only places I'm ever posting again is DeviantART and maybe, MAYBE Weasyl, if I can steer clear of the furry community well enough. I'm just so very, very, VERY over this fandom. I really am. The last time I left was literally the BIGGEST relief and freedom of stress and anger from my life, and I honestly and truly question why the FUCK I ever even remotely entertained the thought of trying to return, given all the positive aspects staying away brought me. So I'm rectifying that and returning to what worked best for me--not actively participating in the furry community anymore.
Do I still identify as "furry"? Within my own definition of what I feel it means to be a furry, yes. By what the fandom, as a whole, would consider being furry ... no. So I guess the answer o that would be yes/no/sorta. All I know is that I will continue to represent myself through half-animal avatars and always still prefer drawing anthro-related subject matter, as well as enjoying visual media involving anthros. And indeed, you prolly will still see me faving art on here now and then (as well as talk to people I consider friends, because I'm not about to abandon them, furry or not). But I, myself, won't be making any contributions or engaging in any kind of community participation anymore. All I ever do is get burned whenever that happens.
So that's the long and the short of it. People who I know and trust will be told where to find me in non-furry areas of the net, and to the rest, I'll pretty much just disappear off the radar unless they stumble upon me by chance someplace else. Sorry to get your hopes up in coming back and trying to pick up where I left off, but this place and these people are just absolutely NOT for me anymore. There's nothing positive left here that's enough to counteract all the bad.
Tootles.
P.S.: Drama-related BS will systematically be hidden from all aspects of my FA account, whenever I stop by now and then to clear out my inbox and fav things. Repeat offenders will be blocked. Like I said ... I'm not about that life anymore. So long as I still intend to keep visiting here on occasion as a lurker, I'm not going to live my life dreading what sorts of foulness I'm going to arrive to the moment I type in this site URL. This account is going to be kept clean and sterile for my visits, at all costs.
P.P.S: No, I'm not deleting any of my works, they'll remain here. I'll prolly just disable comments or something, since that's a feature now.

And here I was hoping to see more of your characters after our chat with 1 of them... What a depressing thing to read...

Awe, it seems I am very tardy to the party, having recently just found your work. I'll try to look your work up on deviantART. It is rather good. and you shouldn't let drama bring you down, the fandom is always full of drama I myself had to "disappear" a few times so I completely understand. I will continue to watch your account just in case you decide to come back.
