Time to Say Goodbye

Dear Members,

No doubt you will have noticed that though December is upon us, metamorfic_moon has not announced our annual Fic Advent. Indeed, you've probably noticed we've not had a proper event here since last year's Winter Hallows Advent.

I know that much of the fandom has moved on, and that the mods have way too much other stuff on their plate, but this place was my first exposure to the HP fandom, and possibly the nicest corner of that fandom ever. I'll miss it like whoa. Thanks for running a great show.

Btw, will the comm stay open in an archival capacity? Or will the fics be archived somewhere else?

It's sad to say goodbye, but good to know we'll be missed here and Meta was a bright fandom experience for you. Thank goodness that LJ friendships aren't restricted to particular communities. :)

Definitely we'll keep Meta open as an archive. We'll be doing some clean-up around here eventually to make it as accessible as possible to anyone who wants an R/T fix.

I'm glad it'll still be around as an archive, though - had you thought about turning it over to new mods?

New management, alas, didn't feel right for this comm.

Thanks for all your wonderful contributions here! Maybe you could post some of that fantastic film noir AU you started for this final go-around!

Understandable! :) And the archives are fantastic.

...Ahem. Yes. I really do need to finish that! I always feel so annoyed with myself when I put in the effort of writing half of something and then let it sit gathering dust.

I think this is probably the best comment we could have about Meta, because it's exactly what we set out to achieve and it's so lovely to know that we managed it. Thank you so much.
