What to do from here? · 8:19am Feb 11th, 2019
Remember back when my account was "Decepticon Shockwave?" Yeah, stuff's changed since then. I first joined when I was just entering High School, and at this point, I'm in College. I had intended for the longest time to write that first story that I was so enthusiastic about.
So what happened? Simple answer, I lost interest. Long answer, I tried writing a first chapter, but after that I just ran out of steam. I ended up not having that same passion about it, and looking back now, 4 years later, I realize that maybe I never should have tried it in the first place. So when I went back and looked over that first draft, I realized something awful. I absolutely hated my own writing, and that was the biggest shock of all.
To be completely honest, I've begun to stop caring about the show, the stories, and the fandom in general. I remember back when I first joined, how I loved reading the things people would post here. But over time, the stories I loved fell victim to one of several things. Either they just stopped updating, or the promised sequel/follow-up/continuation never happened. Most of the original groups I joined, some of my favorites, like "Transformers Crossovers" or "Humans are Superior" just flat out died. No more stories, nothing. I've started to move on. Am I gone forever? No. Will I be here in a year? Probably not.
So, to all those people out there who showed me such caring, support, and dare I say friendship. Even though I never knew any of you, I ended up knowing all of you.
Your good friend,
