Another site I have been writing on, gone.

Another time I have been among the most devoted members, left, together with a few others, to switch off the light.

I feel hurt and sad because this happened... and at the same time, somehow relieved that it's a place where I don't owe posts anymore. But the petty relief is trumped by the sadness.

I am sorry, Morrigan, if you are reading this, because the gif I asked was for this site, which during this week-end announced its closure. Many administrators, confronted with a lack of activity, decide to close the site instead of doing more advertising, being themselves more active and rallying the remaining devoted members around them, besides trying to get more members. It is easier to throw the towel instead of fighting for what you have created.

It feels sad and lonely to have the world you were writing in, the story you were building, crushing under your eyes. Especially when it was much more to the story to be told... and when the administrator was making plans for the story too, from her point of view. This was why I didn't expected a sudden closure, no matter that the activity was lingering for a while.

I know, not the first, nor the last site to close this way, suddenly. It's more of an exception when people fight to keep a site floating, and when a site resists for more than one year.

But this time it might be different for me. This time I might continue the story offscreen. Yes, I think I'll have the courage to finish it alone, in my own time. Still in English, since half of it is in English.

However I am not sure what to do, because... I think I will have to write for other characters too, and I know some people would consider this wrong. I don't consider it wrong, because the relationships were built in time, were agreed with the writers... and it can't start again as if it hadn't happened, as if my two characters were alone in the world and nobody else existing around but them. If mentioning other friends instead of the existing ones, where have they been taken from and why haven't they been shown until then? Complicated. For this I have no exact answer yet, but I'll think until I'll find one.
