āEvery end should be followed by great new beginningāĀ
Putting this whole thing under a read more so if anyone cares enough to read what I have to say in my final outro. This counts as my one year anniversary noteĀ andĀ my final Mayfield post. I've decided to take my departure early.
One Year Anniversary Thank You Note:
I want to start by saying, I have grown so much in my RPing and writing skills when I first started. Little fun fact for you all: Mayfield was the first roleplay I ever joined. I decided to join this roleplay for a new experience and adventure which has brought me exactly that. I reached my own personal goals in the entire year. I vowed to learn and and get better with my writing, granted Iām not one of the best writers here. The thought had crossed my mind about joining a roleplay when I had a spark and love for developing a character. I had my own personal blog dedicated to writing stories and drabbles that is long gone now. I stopped that blog because it wasnāt enough, I wanted more. I didnāt just want to write on my own, I wanted to write with others and share my ideas and excitement for a good plot and development. I mean, when I first began that one day in March 9th of last year, my para lengths wasnāt event a full paragraph. I was super intimidated by all the fantastic writing I had been surrounded by but over time, in the course of the entire year, it has improved dramatically. In another RP Iām in, I recently did a plot with someone and the para length was about six paragraphs. When I first started, I didnāt even know what things like POC, NPC, FCs etc meant! So I learned quite a bit during my time in Mayfield. If it wasnāt for Mayfield, I couldnāt have ever gotten this far into my writing. A lot of you helped me develop my skills and abilities by showing me how passionate you were with your own writing and I canāt thank you guys enough.Ā
This roleplay the admins have provided was, is, still and always will be special to me. It gave me a home and made me feel very loved and welcomed. It's made me come out of my shy shell and be okay with my sometimes loud personality. As I was telling one of the people I am closest to here one day, Mayfield will always be special to me. Whether it's still up or running or not. I respected it as a roleplay and as a safe haven from hectic life going on. I could write an entire list dedicated to people but since it'd be an ongoing list, It's probably best if I don't. So thank you everyone for making this entire RP special for me. I wont ever forget it.
Final Mayfield Outro:
Well itās here. The end of Mayfield. Being a part of Mayfield for over a year has been in a word: rollercoaster. Thereās been ups and downs, feels and more feels. Whether itās our characters involved in their romantic ships or plot lines. Iāve had one great time and amazing experience since March of ā13.Ā
At this point with Mayfieldās closing, you are either sad, excited for something new, both or neutral. Iām both sad and excited about this. Iām not excited because Mayfield has ended, Iām excited because it means I get to start upon new chapters and projects in my life regarding RPing. I have already began to work on new projects with others and for that, I am greatly excited. However, I will deeply miss all of you who have been part of my life and my charactersā involvements. You all are wonderful. Iāve been lucky enough to experience and write with fantastic writers of this RP. Some of you take lots of pride and dedication into your characters and that always makes the character even better.Ā
Iām going to be honest here and say before Mayfieldās ending officially arrived, I was feeling forced to be part of something that burnt out of me for a couple months now. I found myself feeling the need to be active a tedious task but I stuck around for mainly the support of the roleplay and some of its members who I didnāt have the heart to leave no matter how guilt ridden I felt for not being active like everyone was - hence why I dropped about six characters at once? I think it was six, I canāt remember. So the muse and creativity for Mayfield burnt out of me for a while now. Iāve been starved and thriving for something new to do RP wise which I am and will be getting due to new projects. Iām sorry to those whom wanted my charactersā attention when all my muse finally left me. I did try my best to force myself to at least give replies or answer starters. As any of you noticed, I was only active for a couple hours before I couldnāt do it anymore and stopped which is why you never saw me around anymore. It definitely wasnāt because I didnāt like the people here or the characters, the truth was, I was just too worn out. I didnāt have anything left to give muse wise.Ā
Now thatās itās Mayfieldās final end, if any of you are wondering, no I will not play my characters as indies. Iām sorry but if I donāt have any muse left now, I wont have any for indieās. Iād like to think of this as a chapter of my life closed RP wise. Itās done, over with. I have nothing left. However, I wont stop RPing.Ā
Weāre all going to move forward into the future with new projects and new RPās no doubt and I wish all of you the best in luck in where ever you go and where ever you end up. If you would like to keep in contact, I will provide my Skype for you which is;Ā lisa.lea16Ā Facebook shall remain unknown, sorry guys! I just donāt like sharing my Facebook and I just hate Facebook so Iād rather not. Or any of you are welcome to follow my newĀ personal Tumblr account. I may not update every day but I do check it every day unless I havenāt gotten a chance to catch up on new episodes of stuff then I avoid my personal to avoid spoilers. If any of you would like to still RP together, you can message me what kind of projects Iām working on and Iāll tell you what I can about it, I also started an indie roleplay account so anyone can roleplay with me there if they wish. Iāll tell you itās a The Vampire Diaries character. I have about... two projects I'm working on in total and one mini project. If you want to know more, Iāll tell you guys. Iāll be glad to RP with just about any and everyone here so donāt be afraid to ask. I wont answer questions about it through anons though. If you wanna know, Skype or fanmail is the way to go.
Donāt be sad because Mayfield is ending, be proud for what youāve accomplished and how far youāve brought your characters and the influence theyāve left upon other characters and members of this RPG. Best of luck guys!Ā
Ā [Irisā eyes start to water as she brings up Seth and she nods] Yeah.. I know⦠I wish he could be here for it⦠I really wish he could. He wouldāve definitely been the one to give me away⦠I donāt know, I want to ask Dad⦠But Iām not sure heād want to do that for me⦠I donāt know⦠If anything, would it be too much of me to ask you to give me away too? Youāre the only other family that I haveā¦
He would've been happy to do it. He was finally peaceful with family terms so he was warming up to the "girly" ideas such as weddings and stuff. I'm not sure if Dad would do it either. No, no it's not too much. I'll be happy to do that too. As long as you're coming to my wedding if I ever get married.
Ā [She chuckles] Itās fine, Angel. I understand. And really? [She hugs her] Thank you so much.. I love you. Iām glad you want to be apart of it. I couldnāt imagine my wedding without you there.
Why wouldn't I be part of this? You're getting married. That's something to be excited about. I love you too. So, so much. I'll be there and I'll rip anyone's skin off their bones who try to stop it. Seth would be proud you know? Gosh, he'd be so excited. I know he would be. He'll be there with you. You may not be able to see him but he will be. If he was here, I'd suggest having him be the one to give you away. If I could bring him back for just one or two times, it'd be at our weddings. Who's gonna give you away at the alter?Ā
