Thank you for a wonderful decade, furry fandom :DD
Unfortunately, when March 4th rolls around, I'll have to be calling it quits for an indeterminate amount of time. ^___^;
It's not the same fun fandom I joined in 2009, it's just people you've never even heard of spreading rumours about you and your family, sometimes even your kids! Everything is really divided, and everyone is making everything political. For some reason, the same community that cries about bullying and "harassment" all the time the past couple years, they'll attack anything that moves if it doesn't fit their worldview :0
A lot of people will continue, even, to call themselves your friends while they sit back and collect your personal information and facts about your life to go lay eggs in their insect nests with others when you're not looking. I know for a fact I would need more than two hands to count you all that are guilty of this, and reading this right now 👀
Furthermore, wasn't anyone just tired of it? Getting online and being online all day waiting to see who was the next pedophile or whatever? Didn't it get old a little bit?
Another reason I am leaving the fandom, is that I have a lot of opportunities that have come into my life in the past six months, as far as academically, career-wise, and even househunting with my beautiful family! <3 I've also got to focus on little man going to school this year, and my ongoing fight with Graves disease. I might even try to get some new tracks laid too :0!
There are so many of you though, I'm so happy to have met you, and you made it worth hanging in there just that little bit much longer. <3 I'll give it a couple years and see where it's at then. :) Please do not contact me with gossip about anyone. I don't want to deal with that now, I am working on a paper. <3
-Your friend,
Apricity!
P.S. I'm not selling any of my characters. I'm not taking any more anthro commissions for the time being, either. I'll gladly see what I can do as far as requests, and non-anthro commissions as well, though <3 You guys should try this too!
