I want to preface this by saying that this is a decision that has been long in the making. I knew it had to be made but I continually put it off because I just didn?t want to do it. I continued to involve myself in stories with other people and even promised my characters for stories and SLs that I should not have, hoping that I could keep putting off making this decision. I am sorry for that because it has surely inconvenienced some.
That being said, I am leaving the Role Playing world.
This has not been a decision that I have taken lightly. It has absolutely nothing to do with current drama, past drama, any drama in fact. It has nothing to do with any personal disagreements with people on an OOC or IC basis. I love Dragon?s Mark. I love the Red Dragon Inn. I love the characters and the players, and I absolutely love playing and writing for RhyDin. However, because of purely personal reasons that have to do with my life outside of the RPing world, I cannot continue playing and writing here.
Unfortunately, this is not some dramatic ?me storming off and taking my toys with me only to come back next week and pretend it never happened?. This is an absolutely permanent decision I am making here. Understand that it has caused me tears now and probably will continue to do so for some time. The question may arise then of: why am I doing this if it?s so upsetting to me? It?s personal. No one is making me do this; no one is forcing me to do this. I came to this decision on my own, and I am sticking with it. I?ve actually spent the last six months preparing for it.
In going, I would like to thank you all for the wonderful stories we have been able to create together. They will be cherished immensely. One of my greatest joys in life comes from knowing that I have created something (a character) that I love and that others love as well. Many of you are very special to me (you know who you are) and have made my time RPing better than I could have ever imagined when I first started out. You have helped me craft Jewell into a character and story?by allowing me to interact with your characters and within your stories as well as by helping me to create new stories and paths for her to take?that I am extremely proud of. Her story isn?t done yet, unfortunately, but I am done telling it here.
This place (RhyDin, whether it is on AOL, Dragon?s Mark, or anywhere else) will always be special to me. After more than twelve years, it has become an era of my life. I will never forget playing as part of the Ravenlock family, as a Forsaken Blade, or just as The Empress in her many exploits. I understand, though, if Jewell and I are forgotten as she becomes simply a part of RhyDin?s vast and complex history.
Many of you have my AIM screen name; I still should be around from time-to-time to chat with. In addition, I will occasionally check my JewellRavenlock@gmail.com email address or post to my blog: Blog!. I would like to hear from you.
Please continue to play and write fantastic stories. Don?t let the problems in the community tear this place apart. It is far too special for that.
Again, thank you for letting me share Jewell with you.
