An end and a beginning

I think I've finally left behind fanfic for good. After a long-winded goodbye on FF.net, I only wrote a few occasional drabbles for the LJ masseffect community's Insanity Round, but even they're finished, I think.

It's complicated, and there are a lot of reasons, not all of which I can explain comfortably. Some of it's the quietness of the fandom; some of it's my unsureness of the legal ramifications of fanworks; some of it's personal and complicated. My focus is going to lie with my original work for... well, the future. The rest of it, anyway.

Here's what I posted at FF.net:

All of which is true, except that with the drabble collections it may be fifty-one stories now. I'm going to miss the characters I wrote about like hell - particularly Morgana and Alistair and John and Tali, who made my heart ache to write them - but it's time to move on.

All my fic is at FF.net (old series, old oneshots, multi-chapter stuff) and AO3 (drabbles and such), if you're interested, though it's safe to say that the "ongoing" stuff... isn't.

Thanks for your time.
