Farewell Everyone...

Okay, so, you guys have probably noticed that I haven't been on lately...
Reasons?
1) I have amazing, real life friends who actually want to see me over the summer, and a really adorable boy who is everything that I have ever wanted that I REALLY want to keep in contact with...
2) I just don't have to the drive to keep writing. I've been writing stream of consciousness, poetry and day to day journal entries, but no fan fiction.
My love for fan fictions, and anime characters and whatnot has finally diminished. I've finally found something in my life that makes me happier then my dream world, and I'm not about to ignore it and keep living in my imagination. I don't want to be as stupid as I used to be, and keep myself inside of my shell. It's not a good thing to do for your entire life. I really needed to break out, and my friends in the real world have helped me with that. And ever since I started writing things like stream of consciousness and whatnot, I’ve realized something. My writing on Quizilla has not been all that great. All the way back in 2005 with Lullaby and the Bird, to now, with my new stories, none of them are really good. I read back, and I can’t believe what I wrote… All of it looks like I wrote it while I was drunk or something.

It just does not look like what I could really do, and it’s disappointing to me to think that I wrote that stuff… But, it’s growth, and if I didn’t write any of it, then I wouldn’t be at the stage that I’m in today. But that’s the thing, I’ve grown out of Quizilla. And, in a sense, I’m really happy that I did. Because now I can move onto bigger and better things.

I’m sorry, but this place runs rampant with Mary Sues, typical/generic/boring plot lines that have been over used, tired old bad grammar, and terrible constructive criticism. No one helped me on this site. No one ever bothered to say something along the lines of:

“I like where you’re going, but try spell checking, grammar checking, etc. It’ll help you out a lot.”

Instead, I got things like:

“OMG UR STORIES R GRET :DDD”

Thank you for liking my stories, but please, I wasn’t good at writing. Any small amount of help would have been great. I got that on occasion, and I thank the people who did, but mostly, it was “I love it” spam.

And, looking at all of the people who are held in high regard here, I’m betting none of them got the criticism they deserved either. So many people who have 1000 picks and whatnot… I’m sorry, but most of them have mediocre writing skills. They all have the potential to get better, but they’re obviously not getting what they should. You look at them and see Mary Sue gone hell bent on being as perfect as possible, and it’s kind of terrifying.

So, I say goodbye to that, and goodbye to all of you lovely people.

I will not be deleting any of my stories, nor will I be updating any of them, from this day on.

To my friends, I love you all dearly. You’ve helped me through SO many things, and I owe you my life for that. Keep in touch, loves~

To my fans, thank you sooo much for the support over the years~ I love you all, for picking, rating, loving, hating, making your opinion known, keeping it to yourself, laughing, crying, anything~ Thank you all!
