Because I apparently have no self control...

I'm leaving HP fandom indefinitely. This has been coming for some time, though I've always held off for some reason or other. But my excuses are gone - I finished my Help_Haiti fic for Marta, I finished my Next Gen Boys table, I turned over modding duties to others for anything I was modding, I haven't joined any new fests, so, yeah, my plate is

Oh! *hugs you* Our interests have kind of gone in different directions of late, but I read when I could and enjoyed participating in the ass_ldws, and I'll miss your contribution to fandom. I do understand how it can take over your life. I also suffer from that obsessive desire to throw yourself wholeheartedly into a hobby, to the detriment of all else.

I'll miss seeing you around, but would like to take this chance to thank you for being one of the first to make me feel welcome here at LJ. I am always very wary stepping out of my comfort zone, and taking the step into a community like LJ was a huge one for me. Thank you so much for your support, and I wish you love and luck for your personal endevours.

*hugs and smooches*

Thanks so much, hun. Yeah, I'm not afraid to admit I tend toward an obsessive personality - so it's too easy to be sucked completely into something.

Your Dudley/Al story will always stand out as a fic that changed my perception about a character. I love that!

*hugs*

*hugs you* I've always been more of a lurker but I've enjoyed reading your posts and your stories. You will be missed, my dear. (And, you're in NY, lady. How did I not know that? I'm in NJ - just 20 minutes away from Penn Station by train . . . )

Thanks so much. I appreciate you coming out of lurker mode to say goodbye.

I'm a NY'er, but a Northern NY'er - close to Canada, not at all close to NYC.

I'm honestly brokenhearted!

I hope you'll still be around, in a nonfan capacity. You mean a lot more than just a fanfic writer, and I'd still love to know what's going on with you. Please be well and keep in touch.

Ohhh, thanks so much, hun. I think I'm hitting grief already, like a bit of me is dying away, but I feel it has to be done. I think if my hubby knew and supported me, I'd never leave fandom, but that's not the case.

I'd absolutely love to keep in touch, so don't be afraid to email me anytime (my email's in the post).

*hugs*

Thanks so much, hun, for those wonderful thoughts. I'm really honored that through that commission I inadvertantly helped you spread your wings a little farther.

I love your art. So many times your works brought out such emotions in me, even if it was 'just porn' it seemed like you added something special.

I'll miss you!!

Oooh :( Good luck with everything! It will be so strange not to see your posts and comments around :( ♥

[asnowyowl]

Thanks so much! I'm afraid it's all or nothing for me, so for now it'll have to be nothing when it comes to LJ. Take care!
