Giving up the ghost

[psubrat]

It's been a very hard decision to come to, but I'm giving up Storyteller and my Common Rotation photo site. Actually, I probably should have done this a long time ago, but denial just isn't a river in Egypt.

For those who aren't familiar with the Storyteller site, it's a Whedonverse convention report archive. There are some reports there that are from the first Writercon, JM's gigs at 14 Below and a whole bunch of the early Buffy cons.

So, I'm putting this offer out there -- if anyone wants the files to Storyteller, you're more than welcome to have them. I no longer have the time to go surfing the web to find out when and where our favorite Whedonverse actors are appearing. I just cannot keep up. I tried, believe me, but my time is no longer my own (and I wouldn't have it any other way). Plus, I'm thinking that there's not a whole lot of need for something like this anymore -- people just don't seem interested. But that could just be me.

Anyway, it's the end of an era for me. I used to be so heavily involved in the Whedon fandom, but now, I'm so far removed it's not even funny. I haven't read fic in a long time or written a piece of fic in it for two years, nor have I gone to any type of Whedonverse convention in that time. In fact, Angel Booster Bash was my last con and that was July 2005.

I'm not saying goodbye, I'm just saying that I can no longer be involved like I was, and Storyteller needs someone who has the time and patience and the willingness to be persistent enough to get the reports. If you're interested in taking over the site (you'd have to host it yourself, etc), please contact me at: brat at psubrat dot net. The only thing that I ask is, if you do decide to take it, please credit me somewhere saying that I conceived the idea. It would only be right.

I totally understand, but this is not, I repeat NOT, a "get out of fic jail" ticket for Some Rain Must Fall. Because some stories are soooo good...well, Some Stories Must Be Finished.

I promise, I am going to finish SRMF. Absolutely.

I think that it's awesome that you were even involved in doing that stuff in the first place! Much less trying to do it with husband/child.

Me, I've always been the lazy fan you see before you. Bought some books, saw some movies/TV series, went to TT and the occasional AdAstra and did some socializing via the intarwebz (MBs or LJ or Messenger). That's the sum total of my contribution to fandoms.

So I applaud you and everyone else for your hard work at making fandom more interesting because goodness knows, I didn't. I just supported it with my presence and wallet. LOL

Thank you. I used to wonder where I found the time to keep it updated before I had Boo, but now I look back on that time and think about how much of it I really had! I guess it's all perspective.

Besides, you don't need to be that heavily involved to make things go 'round. Your presence and wallet were mighty helpful. *g*
