I'm going to stray away from this forum, albeit not permanently. I think...
It has nothing to do with the recent controversy.
Neither has it something to do with anyone here.

Overall, I'd say my interest in Pokémon has declined a bit.
Or at least... the desire to talk about it much. Which was really my first intention upon joining in here because I didn't really had someone,
but more often than not I read topics rather than say something myself. Neither did I talk much on Discord. Barely even.
I'm not that talkative in the first place, so yeah... :P
And it isn't like that I really felt hostile here. For me it has always been an issue to blend myself into things, even through typing.
I feel I didn't really succeeded in it that much. Yeah, I have been active quite a bit in the forums sometimes. But even then, I doubt I really got myself to truly feel part of the place.

So now I've decided to leave for a bit.
I aim to get my Pokémon fan fic done sometime, but progress is quite slow on it as it is a bit lengthy and because I try to make it actually good it also takes much time. Which I don't really take xD
While about 95% plot is finished in my head, it's all in the many many small details. Character dev. and stuff... I don't want to give away details on it.
And I also hate to publish it before it is actually (near)-100% done. I don't want to think about re-edits midway through publishing chapters.
So, with the current pace (and I hope to accelerate it), hopefully I get it done by late 2019. I first thought of late 2018-early 2019, buuuut I think that is out of the cards.
But once it will, I'll be sure to have you guys read it. If you are interested, at least. :P
I might check once in a while, but... I'll be pretty much silent.
But feel free to contact me on Discord if you like, though. I'm usually high above the list so you can't miss me :)
See ya.
