The End of an Era
12 years ago
I'm not a furry insofar that I don't find furries particularly attractive, and I don't feel a very strong connection with animals. There are some exceptions, of course, and I do sometimes enjoy stepping into the shoes of an anthropomorphic tiger that's even taller, more muscular, and better looking than I am, but for the most part, I feel comfortable with failing to identify as a furry.
On the other hand, I have greatly enjoyed RPing on SF, and before than, YS (ahh, those were the days) over the past few years. Frankly, at this point, RPing is part of my life, to a degree, and when I've been in really good RPs, it's been something that I've found myself looking forward to doing when I get home at night, or when I have some free time, or what have you.
But in the past few months (really, ever since YS became SF) good RPs have been harder and harder to come by. I managed to find a few a couple months ago, but for various reasons, the other players have just not been able to post. Right now, I'm only in one active RP on F-List, and that only gets posted in every couple of days, at best.
I've made a lot of memories, and had a lot of great ideas due to RPing. I've even made some, dare I dream it, friends RPing, and I'm definitely glad that it became such an important hobby of mine during the last few years. But now that it's dying down and no matter how hard I try to revive it, I'm finding myself wondering if it's time to move on.
I still write, I suppose, and plan to finish a fanfic later this summer. After that, I have dozens and dozens of story ideas to do, but it looks like that allure of interacting with another creative individual is going to be something that's in the past for me. And that does make me a bit sad.
I'm still going to check out SF from time to time, in case my RP partners come back, but there's really no point in the My Threads page open and reloading it every so often. I definitely think it's time to start to write my own stories, unless I somehow manage to find a group of individuals whose creative desires align with mine once again. Overall, though, I think this journal definitely is going to mark the end of an era, but I'm not too sorry about that, because another era is beginning. I've already published one novel; I've got another short story that I hope to be published by the end of the summer, and soon, I'll begin work on an epic novel that will hopefully be published through a mainstream group. Then, I'll get to work on the dozens and dozens of other ideas I've had in mind for far too long, and as I do, I'm sure I'll find myself with more ideas, more possibilities, and, as my writing skills improve, more opportunities to publish.
