Setting Sail

[Tooley Bostay]

Hey everybody.

When I first joined the community, it was with fairly great trepidation and hesitation. Wasn't sure if this whole "Survivor Contest" deal was a worthwhile pursuit, but, against much fear, I applied anyway. Imagine my surprise when I ended up having the time of my life! I learned so much about the art of writing, I got to do some nifty art collabs with people, heck, I even made some people cry with my death post! More importantly, I was introduced to some wonderful people I'm proud to call friends.

Behind the scenes, the Survivor community has shifted toward greater strife and drama. Unfortunately, these fractures haven't faded with time, but rather have gotten worse. I'm not having the same enjoyment and fun with the group that I used to have, and I certainly do not want to inadvertently contribute to the troubles going on right now. Therefore, I've decided to take a step back from the community on an active level. This wasn't an easy decision, nor one made hastily. I've thought about this for many months, and come to the conclusion that this is necessary.

I want to thank everyone who has written with me, who has left reviews, who has helped make this place be the wonderful experience that I had. Truly, it's been a pleasure, and I'll cherish those memories throughout my life.

I'm sorry to hear things haven't been working out so well. You were a great teacher, and a super talented writer.

Wishing you the best of luck on all future endeavors, mate!

Adieu, matey.

See you elsewhere.

I've messaged you privately. Please respond.

A shame to hear, for sure. Best of luck, though. And thanks for writing (Tooley is one of my all time favs) and also for taking the time to read and review. Always insightful and always helpful. Keep writing and adieu!
