i don't care, and neither does anyone else, so this site is now officially dead. It's fitting, really, as the almost-ficticious persona i've gradually built around myself under this name and this identity is dead, too. Every trace removed, except for this one and a few mediocre stories handed out to the content-hungry fanfic pages so desperate for an originality and authenticity that I, like everyone else, totally failed to provide for them. i've totally failed the web-realted places and people to whom i've gravitated like a moth to a flame over the past couple of years, betrayed them when they trusted me and remained inactive when they called for my help. Excuse me if it sounds like i've grown cynical about this whole thing, but it's because... well, i have. so i, as you knew me, am dead as soon as i finish typing this message. It's as simple as that, and it's probably fitting in that sense that i end it with my spin on a nice little quote: No one can give anything to me, nor can anyone take anything from me. And, for the moment at least, that's the way it needs to be. To all the people i knew through the board and elsewhere on the internet, and who deserve so much more than i can give them-- goodbye.
