Uhhhh....
So.....
By the way this is Peter. The guy who started this whole thing a little bit over a year ago. The guy who got hit with a year of full-time school with a part-time job and a whole lot of personal writing projects that took my attention away from hamiltongenderbent for the entire school year. And, beyond that, I’m the one who gets the awkward job of saying that I’m not capable of bringing it to fruition.
I’m not going to list the reasons why, as much as I spent days trying to organise reasons in my head. I’m just going to apologise to the people who were invested in hamiltongenderbent, and thank the people who put a whole lot of themselves into it:
@calliepenguin, who was super lovely and set up the forum the crew was using. Of the entire crew, I’m sure that Lotte put the most effort into this
@marmaladespoon, who made hamiltongenderbent’s lovely icon, which was the face of the project. I still love it just as much as I did the first time I saw it
@mewchiili, who handled everyone’s submissions and got them organised on the forum
@calebwmmichaels, the sound editor for the demos that we made
@a-canker-in-a-hedge, who came up with the idea for hamiltongenderbent alongside me and is eternally a source of support for every art and/or writing thing I do
All the rest of the crew was also awesome! I admit that I’m not totally sure how to find all of you now, with so many changed usernames, but I definitely know those 5.
Again, I’m really sorry that this project won’t be continuing, and I’d like to send a super huge thank you to all the people who were still keeping track of this blog! The support of the nascent community that formed around this project was really helpful and awesome last summer, and I wish I had been able to keep the momentum going into the fall.
In the next few days, I’m going to do my best to delete everyone’s auditions from the forum, as well as from the email I created, so that no one can ever access it without the auditioner’s knowledge. If someone miraculously appears in that time with the strength and will to continue this project, and has the support of other folks to do it, I’ll gladly hand over the groundwork we laid here over to them.
As for myself, in the future I’m hoping to write more analysis on Hamilton, as well as a ton of fanfic and maybe practice my anatomy drawing with some animatics.
Thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart.
Your dearest,
Peter
