Hi, there.
I'm going to start by saying that this is definitely the best community and fandom I've ever been a part of... I am yet to encounter any argument, or bashing, or hate between two or more members. I honestly can't put into words how much I love you all, how much I enjoyed the fanfics, and the love, and the sense of belonging that I felt, here.
If you haven't guessed already, what with ownership of Y_Slash moving to
lucy_and_ramona and my not posting in an age... I'm leaving. As in, the fandom. As in, I'm probably not coming back... If you think about it, I've already left by not posting, etc.
It's been a good time, I have to say. Really, REALLY good. I've laughed so hard I've fallen off my chair, I've squee'd my head off, and I've bawled my eyes out because of some of the amazing fics out there... and I couldn't be more proud of this community and every one of you members on it. You guys are so brilliant, honestly, I'm not making this up. You are ALL fantastic. (Yes, even you, lurkers.)
(By the way, if you're reading this and wondering who the fuck I am, that's really my fault for not being very active. Hi, I'm Philli. It was myself and
nicoleh262 who started the community. It was me who named Cherimon, etc, etc.)
So, yes.
The fic that this was linked to in is my last. If not forever, then for a very long while.
And, I'm sorry. Sorry that I've been rubbish for the last few months, because I've been avoiding this inevitable moment; explaining to you all that I'm going. It's no-one's fault, I'm just like this with fandoms. I don't stay long, and I can't express how guilty I feel for getting so integrated into this one.
So, lots and lots and lots of love for you guys, and all your hard work, and... every thing.
Yours,
Philli.
PS: In regards to the YouTube channel... I'm still doing that. I couldn't upload today because of technical troubles, but I shall post next week, I promise you. I'm not going to abandon the friends I've made (if you count me as a friend, that is) just because I'm leaving the fandom, and I hope you guys feel the same way.
PPS: One of the maintainers is going to have to start adding entries to memories... sorry!! D:
