I for one, will certainly miss your frequent reviews and continuous support!
Life is measured not by the paths we take, but by those who make a meaningful appearance and influence our direction. You are 'Special' in my recent life.
Best regards my friend...hurry back in a premium way!
Many many thanks!
Dick

    I'm not leaving--I'm just not renewing my paid membership--meaning I cannot post or review.

    This announcement was inspired by my realization my fans would think I'd died!

    I'll be stopping by at least once a week to catch up with correspondence--I can still send and receive messages and read as I please.

    I invite you to peruse my portfolio for a quick LIZ fix--click the "magnifying glass" tab, then use CTRL-F to search for FLASH--or scroll randomly to play "Portfolio Roulette!" Since you'll only two cents for reviewing, you can just type a string of 150 ********** to indicate you stopped by!

I wish you good fortune and good luck on writing in your other venue. You did good work in writing first person non-fiction narratives and allowed many people to get to know you and those close to you.

Have a happy new year.

Great Scot!!! I'm frowning now... sad that you're not going to be active in Fanstory anymore. There's enough bad news in the country without learning this tonight. Drat! Double drat! Now I need something to cheer me up. Where's Robyn?
I wish you all the best, though, Liz. It's always been a pleasure to read your posts. I will miss reading them.
Love,
Kimbob

While I certainly understand your decision, I will miss your wonderful posts. I've enjoyed your delicious humor and marvelous ability to make everyday things interesting and entertaining. I send you my very best wishes. Have a Happy New Year as well as a (hopefully) more relaxed one.

Sorry to hear you are leaving, Liz. You do a lot on FS, and I would think it has to take its toll. Maybe as you take some time for yourself, you will find a better balance. Wishing you the best with your endeavors, and make sure you take the time to be kind to yourself in 2022!!!

This work has reached the exceptional level

Oh, Liz.... that suckzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. You have to stick around to see what happenssssssssss to Lee with his hypnopompic hallucination.

And, we still have a conversation to finish regarding your very first post.
I was thinking about it just this very morning. I've come to realize, you don't hate God, you hate door knocking evangelists.

Stay in touch, you purple headed vessel of all things human. Yard.

    What a wonderful invitation, Liz. I would prefer corresponding via email. I too am about to step back a bit from FS. So many of the reviewers have been helpful but you stand above them. I am grateful for your insight and patience. See you here @ yardierpen@gmail.com

    I appreciate your saying I was helpful as an editor. I had quite an ugly blow today-- details on my profile page.

    I just read your powerful liberty poem and the stunning piece about the disconnect of us meat-eaters.
reply by Yardier on 26-Jan-2022
    I read about the 'ugly' event. Those things are hard to digest but, it's better to see the underbelly of the beast sooner than later. I don't think you are a quitter, so keep dogging the trail. I'm sure there is a better place for your talents just around the corner. Yard.

Well, although our 'connection' was brief, I must say I enjoyed what I managed to read of yours, this piece included. I especially liked your witty statement here: "The default position is "No" -- this setting safeguards the piece as to visits from one-star trolls out on trash-duty." HAHAHAHA! Too clever! HAHAHAHA! Perfect description of them! Best of luck in your future endeavors, and Happy New Year!

I wondered how long you could keep this up, Liz. I for one will certainly miss your posts and your reviews. It just won't be the same without you! I don't have nearly the followers you have, or the buddies, but I'm having trouble keeping up this week with the multitude of postings. Responding to reviews, on the other hand, isn't a problem. lol Keep on writing, where ever you post! Hugs

I am not at all happy about this. I will miss you and your writing very much. I do understand and want you do to what's best for you. I am being selfish when I say how much I hate this decision.

Hello Liz.

I hope you enjoy your new adventures in writing. The important thing about writing is that every writer needs to know who his audience is. All writers have different objectives and goals and choosing the best way to achieve those is just as hard as the creative writing process.

Good luck.

Robert

    "A writer needs to know his audience." Kurt Vonnegut. This is certainly not my audience. The vast majority of my "fans" over the last two years, are no longer here. My last post has 36 views. I put 88 cents on the post. I seldom promote writing that high.

    I have posted 4 times since 12/1. I have better opportunities away from here.
reply by the author on 06-Jan-2022
    You certainly get a lot of 6-star ratings--most of the people on this site agree with you. 36 views is high for 88 cents!
