I didn't expect my leaving of Elfwood would be so acrimonious. People I thought were friends, aren't any more.

I deleted my Zone47 and Wyverns Library galleries and told #lothlorien. And before I could say why, I was told I was ungrateful, that I used, abused and dropped Elfwood, and that I had said terrible things about Elfwood in a (now deleted) post that said I was moving to Epilogue. A ~friend~ thanked me for leaving.

I was /msg'd by Eliza, aka halwyn who said my constant whining and bitching* made me look very bad. It was she who invited me to leave the Elfwood LJ community, by the way, and that it would be best for the Elfwood community if I left. She kept telling me to email the ERB, which I did. You know the result of that.

And that's the facts, jack.

and now opinion.

I am really sad that events made me feel like my stories and pictures were not suited to that site. I read the rules, looked at my pictures, and decided that most of them were unacceptable. Elfwood might as well have the disk space back. I think Thomas is doing an amazing job providing a free service to aspiring artists and writers. I understand The ERB is trying its hardest to remove unsuitable material, and that there are no exceptions or special favours. But the changes they suggest I make to my stories to make them acceptable, I feel are unacceptable.



*She also said in the /msg that she was an Australian, so she used the word 'Bitching.' I will not comment on that.

... I'm sorry, Batty. It seems that you've been hurt by this, and it came at a really crappy time. I support you, and I love your stories. Your writing is so vastly better than most anything else on Elfwood.

Having said that, I'll now stop; I have this... thing about seeing friends of mine that I care about being... "used and abused." You seem to be doing a good job of hatchet-burying and taking the high moral ground, for which I applaud you. I'm personally more prone to rant, froth, and generally be a bitch, so I'll go take my oncoming bitch-fit elsewhere. Take care, okay?
