*sigh* I think this is me giving up.

I joined protagonize... a long time ago and its was fun for a while. I got involved in a lot of collabs and there was a good community going where we would all check out each others work, then I went to University and was busy often.

I spent some time away from protag and suddenly, everything I post feels like its being ignored, I get lots of profile comments of people asking for their things to be read when they cannot take the time to read my own work. I post on critic wanted groups, I comment on other peoples work but I am also to blame for this, because I rarely have the time to read others work. Lots of people that I used to chat to no longer come on Protagonize and I feel like a complete failure. Lots of the collabs I see now feel like regurgitations of what has gone on before, repeated vampire stories, high school stories, stories with teenagers that have powers or are mythological creatures and I understand that this is people getting to grips with their writing style and just having fun... and I know there are plenty of original, brilliant nuggets of gold around. But I feel like I've lost touch with what I once loved about this site, I feel it has no place for me any more and as much as I hate to say it, I'm not worthy of this place and I have to say goodbye for now.

I may at some point return to Protagonize but this is becoming increasingly doubtful. Sorry for anyone that maybe did read my writing for enjoyments sake rather than any other, but I wish everyone here the best of luck in their creative endeavours.
