So, some of you knew this was coming. To others, this will come as a complete shock. But I must, with great personal heartbreak, depart from TTGG.
Allow me to explain. The reason for my leaving isn't because of any one member or members -- you guys are honestly the sweetest, most amazing bunch of people I've ever met. You're all wonderful, and breaking this kind of news to you this hurts more than you can ever imagine. TTGG brought me into the next level of role-playing. I've matured greatly, both in writing skills and in the content of my posts, but that's just the thing. I've matured, and the site is no longer for me.
I honestly lost muse for this place long ago. Sure, I'd pop on once a week or once every two weeks, try to pump out a few posts, but my heart just wasn't in it anymore. And if you no longer love what you're doing, then what's the point of continuing to do it? I've been holding off leaving for months -- mostly because I'm just so attached to you guys -- out of a desperate hope that this was just some sort of phase. But I'm starting to see that it's not.
I've gotten little to no sleep over the past few nights because I couldn't stop thinking about how I was going to break this to you guys. Don't get me wrong, I haven't quit role-playing completely. I still love writing. And this site is fantastic. It's wonderful, and you guys are booming right now. You have no idea how proud that makes me feel. But I've been feeling for months like I've got to move on. I'm going to become a deadweight if I stay.
I am so sorry for this. I know that my characters and myself are still fairly involved in the site despite my not being here all that often. I kindly ask that you find a way to remove my characters from any active threads they're in; for my one x one threads, this will mean binning them completely. Again, I'm terribly sorry for that. Gaunt, an extra big apology to you, hun. I know how much you enjoyed my Beast Boy, something that flatters me to no end. I also ship the elf and the giant, not gonna lie. I ship all the ships.
As for the Harry Potter plot we were planning for the site, I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop my role as Mad Mod. Someone else is going to need to take up the mantle of our resident British villain. I feel particularly crappy about that, I must say.
I've had an amazing run on this site, and couldn't have asked for more. You will all remain forever near and dear to my heart, and even though I won't be role-playing with you anymore, that doesn't mean we can't keep in touch. A lot of you have my Skype already, but for those of you who don't and want to chat sometime, my username is srgirod. I also have an AIM account with the same username.
It's been fun, all. Keep this site going strong Kennikins, Brysters, and Silverstone! You've done fantastic job, and this place couldn't be better because of it.
All my love,
Sam
