Meds is Leaving

[Meds]

Well, friends, it's about that time.

I don't feel supported by the main-admin at WWM any longer, and cannot continue running this site all by myself. Fier is still around to help when she is able, and she's great, so don't think you will be completely without a mod. But doing this all alone without the admin above me has become more stress than it's worth I think, so I must take my leave.
I have put some of my wolves up for adoption, and I leave Fier in charge of who gets them if there is any interest (and/or Tiel, who can deal with Rayen and Ka if she wishes). The rest I've either killed or had depart. As well, Ivory Wild has disbanded, but it was so very small.

To Tiel, I'm sorry I didn't get to say a proper goodbye to you. It seems our periods of inactivity made us miss each other. Good luck with everything! And I'm sorry to leave our Leo and Rayen plot to the dust. You're a really talented writer, you know.
To Fierfly thank you for helping when you could, and being here with me for this past year. Kanga will think of Kaily often. Your writing style is one of my favourites. It always makes me smile.
To Rykett, you are one of the most up and coming animators that I know. Your art is so unique and wonderful, and I'll keep my good eye on your Youtube and Deviantart ^^ When I think back to the earliest times at WWM, your name always sticks out to me. Thanks for being you and for making me always feel welcome.

To everybody else who is currently active, thank you for putting up with my slow White Wolf replies, long-awaited Become responses, and other modly things that took me a while. It was really hard being the only mod, but you guys were very graceful. It alleviated a lot of the stress that this site was giving me, so thank you.
To the newest members, I'm sorry that you're seeing WWM as it is now, rather than when it was active and full of life. It really is a great site with some really solid base information.
Some of you are new to Rping—so my knowledge to pass on, as a writer/Rper of over 14 years—is to just keep at it. Soon enough you'll realize that those 800+ word replies are coming easier and easier. You'll think up long-drawn out characters with backstories and histories. Maybe one day you'll even take some of what you learned here and write a novel of your own. The world needs more writers and readers, and I think that Rping is a hobby far above many others. Thank you for starting your journey here with me!

This has been a really great two years—wow, two years already? WWM helped me get the inspiration I needed to finish my novel, it kept me sane through a boring surgery-recovery, and it was always available if I needed an escape. I wish things could be different, but for the reasons stated above, I have to go.
Happy writing, everybody. My account here will be open for a while longer. I wish you all the best.

Awwww bye Meds, we’ll miss ya!

I truly do hope that you don’t have a stressful life and I’m sure some of us members will try to help around and give you mods a break every once in awhile. It has been nice knowing you! I cannot recall the last time I’ve seen a good a writer as you, I’ll be honest, you’ve motivated me to write better and.. and.. well your characters are just awesome! The twins that are so much alike yet so different, the female of shadow, the alphess of ivory wild. Sometimes I regret not meeting all your characters heheh but seriously whatever you do in life I hope it makes you happy!

Wish you the best!- Boomer

*Sees I've been tagged*
*Sees title of threads...*

Welp, okay, this is happening.

First, I'd just love to say thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for keeping WWM alive for as long as you have. It's been a really stressful few months for all of us I know but you've really been going above and beyond for all of us to keep the stories and characters alive - keeping all together while the rest of us spread to the four corners of the earth. Thanks so much for holding down the fort, you did more than I ever could have.

Second, thanks for teaching me about having a good time and that life and writing aren't separate realms - writing isn't an escape from reality, it's where you discover your power to change your reality. Kanga and Manaaki have taught me and my little fire-cracker a lot of life-lessons about love and worth and just how to laugh at yourself. I'm glad I got to learn them from you.

Third: Canada.

I'm sorry, just, Canada.

Meds and her Canada.

I'm taking an American Sign Language class, and I would just like to let you know before you go that the sign for "Canada" is literally a thumbs up. Don't know what else to say after that.

Meds, you're a great writer. I'd really love to read your novel one day - knowing the charm and the breathing quality of your characters I know it'll be great. You're going to go far - happy journey.

Update: I'm still really busy with college but I'm always here to answer your guys' questions, so don't hesitate to dm me, I will extend this invitation in the chat-box as well to all you newbies and friends I haven't been able to visit or meet yet.

“Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.”

Meds - dear, sweet Meds. You took me in under your wing, answered all my stupid questions, and listened to me nerd out about the theory behind WWM magic. You gave me my first completed thread; you accepted all the ridiculous characters I have. That's a lot of work for just one mod. I'm glad that even if WWM isn't the powerhouse it used to be, at least I met one of the people who made it what it is. My offer still stands - I'm completely willing to help out where's needed, be it ICly or OOCly.

I've never been one for parting words, but for you, I'll make an exception: Don't look back.

Of course, you will one day turn your head towards WWM and wonder how the site is doing. Is it still alive? Where has it moved on to? That's all well and good; but you may one day regret leaving. You may find yourself wishing you had done more, or tried a little harder, or pushed on a little further before stepping down as a mod. Don't. It's not worth it.

I'd know.

When you recall WWM, remember the nights you didn't want to sleep because someone's post just excited you to the point of inspiration. Remember the characters so well thought out that writing with them was nothing but a pleasure. Remember the people, who looked up to you; remember the people who taught you. Remember the people who walked by your side.

Of course, feel free to remember the stressful times. It wasn't all sunshine and roses, was it? Don't dwell too much on them, though. Let such thoughts always lead to the things that made them better.

There are a good many things that can be said, will be said, and many more that will never find their way into existence. We can't scour the world trying to hear all of them; they'll be told to us when the time is right. These are my words for you.

Don't let regret hold you back. Go with clarity and peace of mind, and when you turn around to see how your site has grown, make your decisions from there out of love and not guilt.

Peace.

I'm just glad I was able to witness this site when it was still pretty alive. WWM may be starting to decline but I'll keep Misty on here. Thank you, Meds. I may not be the oldest member on the site but I can see the dedication that you brought. I wish you all the best and I hope this site can continue, as it is really well thought out.

I will take your advice to heart.

Goodbye,
Dogwolf12

I'll miss you so much, Meds, but know that I'm grateful to have met you here! You've always been so kind and amazing at writing. I've always looked up to you as a person and a writer/RPer. I wish I could've known you long before this, and I'm sad to say goodbye but I respect your decision. I can't find words that would express how grateful I am for everything you've done for me and just saying "thank you, you mean a lot" seems like the understatement of the century, but thank you for all of your kindness and motivation, and I wish you the best of luck in whatever you plan on doing from here on.

Hopefully, we'll be able to talk sometime later on, but for now, goodbye, Meds! <3

[Meds]

You are all honestly so sweet <3 I'm glad I was able to make these impacts on you—I hadn't known!!

So much love, WWM ^^
