November 2015 In some ways, this is a sad message to write, but it is something I need to do for my own well-being. I have spent the last few weeks tentatively reacquainting myself with long neglected aspects of my ‘real’ life—family, friends, work, hobbies that I’d forgotten I loved—and I have realised that it’s time (beyond time, really) for me to close this chapter of my life and begin the next. During a tumultuous time, fandom was there to provide a safe space in which I could live my life while the real world carried on without me. But stopgaps aren’t made for permanency, and safety nets will bind those who hold on too tightly. So I’m cutting the cord. It’s time for me to let go. I will always be grateful for the good times.
