Hey, all, I just wanted to make a status to give a heads up that from this point, I won't really be active on this site anymore. I'm not going to deactivate or delete my account because I know how frustrating that can be for people who secretly read posts and then suddenly the user is just gone. Also I want to at least occasionally check back here in case my friend updates his stories. But overall I'm just done. I've thought about this for a while, and this site doesn't do anything for me anymore. My whole life is wrapped up in my fanfiction, and in fiction in general, and I've never received a less welcoming response anywhere for my writing than here. I used to kind of beat myself up about it but thankfully I'm too old to have really gotten overly affected by the whole thing. I know I'm a good writer. I have years' worth of proof on seven other sites. But there's no point in me continuing to post here when my greatest talent goes completely unnoticed.
Also, the majority of the posts on this site have turned me off from omorashi. It's a struggle now to remember what I enjoy about this kink and why; and that before I got super involved in this site, I wasn't completely disgusted by the idea of it like I am now. Y'all do y'all, but there are like, two users on here who don't make posts that make my skin crawl. So for those two reasons, I won't be active on here anymore.
And no, making this post probably isn't necessary. But I've had my hackles up about this site for a long time now, and it feels kind of good to finally get it all off my chest.
EDIT: I want to clarify again that I'm not deleting my account. Maybe I shouldn't have made this post. I'm just not going to look at the forums or post anything on here anymore, but I'm keeping the account active so I can talk to people in PMs and read my friends' stuff. I'm sorry I've confused and upset so many people. It wasn't my intention and now I'm kind of upset because I love my friends on here and I don't want them to think I'm leaving.
