If you left Literotica

I did at the last place i left.... I was there almost seven years and the changes finally got to be to much, especially in the people...

I said goodbye to my friends and even let a few know where i was going.... a few days later I pulled my stories.....

It was time to move on to a more writerly type place....

 

[glynndah]

Hmmm. I'd leave the stories and say goodbye to my friends.

 

[Dar~]

I'd take my stories and my friends.

 

[drksideofthemoon]

It would depend on my reason for leaving.

I did leave SOL last year, and took my stories down. I had a hard time justifying supporting a site that willingly allows pedophilia.

 

[S-Des]

I would leave the stories, but probably not say goodbye (except privately). It's too ostentatious to have big, sweeping goodbye's. I'm here because it's fun, so if it ceased to be fun I'd go elsewhere. No need to make a big deal out of it.

I would leave my stories up and say a general goodbye. I'd try and send some PM's to my good friends so that we could keep in touch, but most of them already have me on messenger, or at the very least have my e-mail.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

I don't leave sites unless they die, so far. I'm pretty sure I would leave my stories up though, forever and ever. I don't even know if I would put up a fight if my works were posted somewhere else by someone else. But that's just me...

 

[NoJo]

I've left here for over a year, twice. I will leave again. That's a prediction not a threat.

 

[Guest]

I've left at times, lurked awhile, came back, left, lurked, etc. All for different reasons.

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. [Our true enemy has not yet shown his face.]"

 

[Nirvanadragones]

It would depend on my reason for leaving. Each time I submit a poem or a story, I release a part of me into the universe. I let it go. It's an emotional release as much as it is "publishing" it. It's a good way of being able to look back at who/where I was when I wrote something - not only in terms of emotional space, but also how I have changed and evolved as a writer. I'm not sure what it would take for me to withdraw my work. I won't 'just do it.' It's out there for a reason. More than one.

As far as saying goodbye, those I am close to will know. I care for people here like they're from my blood. In fact, they are closer than family.

I periodically lose interest in Lit. Right now, real life is a bit slow, so I'm here more. When fall semester starts, I probably won't have time to waste here. I'll probably leave my stories simply because, like Vana, I've let them go, and I am happy people can enjoy them and get something out of them even if I've moved on from where I was when I wrote them.

 

[Harry Leg]

I think Vana and Carson have put it beautifully. I feel the same way.

ditto this.

I would never make an announcement, though. I might change my mind, and that's a little too dramatic for me.

 

[flavortang]

I'd just go away. I probably wouldn't delete my stories or tell anyone. I don't really know anyone here enough to say goodbye to.

What?

No flaming of ex-friends? No shouting to the rooftops? No denouncement of everything and everyone in and around Literotica and the surrounding websites????

Hey - if ya left, I'd still find ya.

 

[rgraham666]

There's been a few times when the dysfunctional family dynamic that sometimes shows up here has gotten to me and I disappear for a couple of days to clear my head.

If I left for good, I'd take down all my stories. No announcement, like Trom all the people I'm close to have my messenger and e-mail.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Damnit, not only do Carson and Vanna say it better than I could have, but Harry says that they said it better than he could have better than I could have.

That's it, I'm taking down all of my stories and stamping off in a snit, returning only every hour to update the thread I shall post with a lengthy and bitter diatribe detailing my every grievance and personal grudge. I believe that I owe it to the site, whose gravitational center I clearly am, to do at least that much.

I think if I considered leaving, I'd take a look at all the nice feedback that I've received from readers and other authors & poets. I would probably continue on and just avoid whatever drama was stressing me out.
Besides, the readers who IM me would probably hunt me down just so they could nag me for new chapters.
I wouldn't take my stories down, because I wrote them for Literotica. It's part of my history now. I might take my poems, in case I want to use them for something else.

 

[Recidiva]

Nah, I leave without herald and I come back without herald. It's nice to check in for new comments, see old friends and make some new ones.

Who's herald? Maybe you could bring him along next time.

 

[deathlynx]

Dunno if I'd say goodbye, probably not though...I'd make sure to let friends know, though it'd more likely be something where I just post less and less...As for the stories, I'd leave them up unless there was some reason to take them down, such as publishing them...

 

[Recidiva]

Ulaven might object. But I'll try to get him to send you a PM.

There you go with that insatiable flame for the virgin males.

Calm thyself, witch!
