Hello,
I'd like to start off by apologizing to everyone for being absent for so long without saying anything. I had to take a leave of absence from my other forums too, which those of you who are members of my other forums would know. What those of my other forums also know, though, is that I returned to those recently without returning here. And I wanted to explain why.
I hate Twilight.
Yes, it's true. And sad, I know, that as the Admin, the creator/designer (not of the codes though, I can't take credit for that awesomeness
) of the forum and co-creator of the plot even, that I would be the one to hate the series with a fiery passion. At first I just disliked it, but over time the wound has festered into a deep dislike and it disgusts me to even think that I created a Twilight forum sometimes, that I'm supporting the fandom in this way. I keep wanting to switch it over to either a vampires-in-general forum or a Buffy-based forum. Again not with canons but the vampires are just more...real.
But, I know most of the people here love Twilight so I won't just up and do that. I justify my decision to make this forum because there are so many terrible Twilight forums out there, and while I hate the fandom, those who do should have a proper place to roleplay it at. I used to like the concept of Twilight while just hating the writing, but I'm beginning to even hate the concept. The brutal murder of the vampire lore, the shoddy character development, the shallow non-human-involved cast.
Also, I'm making this thread not to apologize and come back to Roleplay. Rather, I'm making this thread to apologize and inform. I'm informing everyone that as long as this forum is a Twilight Forum, I can't stand to roleplay at it, despite my being the founder. I will do admin duties if still needed/wanted, I just cannot get into roleplaying. It's probably for the better, I suppose, since I already have two other forums based in fandoms I've very much sunk my teeth into. I wish Twilight did that for me but my dislike of it just keeps getting worse.
I do, however, feel satisfaction in the fact that with Gentry and Damion's help I've probably succeeded in making one of the most aesthetic Twilight communities out there. I'd like to think that, at least. I'd also hope that I have one of the most interesting, mature, and intelligent Twilight communites as well, but I haven't gotten to know you guys very well like I have on my other forums (where the communities are as such). That is my biggest regret. I wish I would get to know you all better. And if you would like that too, I have a PM inbox as well as instant messengers. :]
In conclusion, I want to stick around, since I was here to create this forum I want to be here to its end as well. I just do not want to roleplay something I cannot put my heart into. I hope everyone understands, and if the other admins have been doing fine without my help administrating, I would be okay with giving up the admin account to one of you, just let me know.
If you want to turn this thread into an open discussion, that's okay too. I have posted this in the 'leave of absence' board mainly because my character is taking one. I love Miss Cynthia, I just think it's a disrespect to her character to be able to let her walk around in Sunlight (you even tan better on overcast days!) and have her be all perfect in general. Characters deserve flaws. And here I go ranting again...xD
--Love,
Amy
