Well, I for one am sticking around for some time to come. I've been at this for four years now and I love this community. I love being able to write without some teacher or critic breathing down my neck about how stupid/uninspired/cliche my ideas are and I love having so many storytelling options at my disposal. I love the ensemble of characters I've built up here, even if half of them started out as expies of whatever anime/comic book characters I thought were cool at the time.

Maybe this site isn't as vibrant as it was a few years ago. Maybe the Halo franchise isn't the fan fiction-generating universe it was back when Halo 3 came out. It's still the franchise that inspired me to create Simon-G294 and all the other characters I've enjoyed writing about since I started high school. I've been at college for about a week now and I don't see any reason why I won't be able to keep up this hobby, so expect to have me around for at least another four years.
