I emailed the mods about this three days ago, but haven't had any word back, so I'm going to go ahead and announce it here, because I think y'all need to know: I'm leaving the game. I'm really sorry to do this to you guys, especially since there are plots going on with my characters, but I'd rather let everyone know now and give you time to adjust accordingly than try to forge ahead when my heart just isn't in it anymore.
I've told the mods that I'm happy to finish out my outstanding threads and journals and I'm fine with just turning over my passwords for them to be deleted, but I'm still waiting to hear back about that. If I haven't heard anything by the end of the week (the end of my hiatus), I'll just delete what I've started and leave it to you about whether or not to finish other stuff, unless of course, you want to just go ahead and delete before then, which is fine.
I've written epilogues for Bruce and Ellie, my main kids, and I'll post them here later this week. If I come up with something good for Mari and Allie, I'll post them, too, but I'm not holding my breath.
Again. I'm really sorry, but like I told Lauren T - I'd be more sorry to drag you guys through scenes and plots that I'm just unable to get into.
This hasn't been an easy decision - I've been going back and forth on it for about three months, and when my computer started being a pain in the ass, I took the opportunity to take a break and figure out how much of myself I was willing to devote to the game, and I've realized that... at this point, I'm just more invested in deepening and strengthening my real life friendships, rather than strengthening and deepening fictional friendships. In addition to that, pregnancy is taking a toll on me - most nights I'm in bed by ten, too exhausted to think by nine - even without the time difference, that would leave me hardly any opportunity to play, and with the time difference, it means that I'm asleep by the time most of you are getting home from work or breaking for lunch.
I hope that maybe I just need some indefinite time away and then I'll want to come back once the baby is born and I have a routine in place, but for now - it's like Emily said a long time ago: everyone stops roleplaying at some point, and I think this might be my time.
I've really enjoyed being a part of the game, and I just want to thank all of you for playing with me, putting up with my godmodding until I managed to get a handle on it, and most of all, being such pleasures to write and plot and chat with. It's been a fun, frustrating, exhilarating, exciting, interesting year and a half, and I'll miss all of you.
