Just so you know...

Not to alarm anyone, but I think I'm falling out of love with the TMNT fandom... I've not been inspired nor motivated to do turtle art for the longest time, and I see no fiction updates happening any time soon.

I blame 4(shame)Kids' horrible development; I think they're the ones who killed the fandom... doggone greedy-grabbers... :shakefist:

Also, you people probably won't be seeing much of me here, either, cause I'm more into working on my original work than fan art now, and I don't think I'd be posting any of them here, either.

PS: There ought to be a [ 4Kids destroyed my fandom! :ohnoes: ] stamp, seriously...

That's understandable. I think everyone has a time where they steer clear away from drawing one thing and moving on to the next. ^_^; So to me it's normal. Lol XD

:( That's sad, but I don't blame you. Still, you do what you think you need to do. :hug:
I'd love a link to where you'd be putting that new stuff, but still, only if you want to. :hug: Good luck!

:hug: That's ok. I understand what you mean. I really like TMNT, but I think 4kids destroyed it in some ways. Like the old season, even the Fast Forward season, but I never even really watched the newest one. Just...I don't know. There didn't seem to be much magic in it anymore. *sigh* Stupid money grabbers is right! I hope you have lots of fun with whatever you do! ^^ :hug: :hug: At least when we do see you around here, it'll be awesome!

WARNING: Mushy comment is mushy :slow:

That sincerely breaks my heart because as you know, I'm a giant fan of yours, in fact to be honest you're one of the main reasons I got into fandom. I actually read your fics before I saw a single episode of the new series. They fueled and inspired me and at times made me feel like shit because I knew I could never even hope to measure up to your writing skills and the level of expertise (for lack of a better word) with which you handle interactions between characters and how much more physical they felt so that as a I reader it was possible to envision such things as a heartbeat or a breath. It made it easy to believe the reality of the characters, that they were real physical beings who the reader cared about and just wanted to be happy.

But I cannot do anything but accept it if you're not "feeling" the fandom anymore because I tend to lose interests and move from one fandom to another myself a lot, judging from the dates of some of your work a lot more than you have XD;; I don't think I've ever stuck with something for more than 3 years (apart from certain evergreen favourites but I never really fangirl as hard about them for some reason) and I highly doubt I'll be as hardcore a TMNT fan as I am right now for the rest of my life. It'd be highly hypocritical of me to moan or kick and scream if you don't feel as passionate about ANY fandom anymore. I really can't blame you for it at all.

I know my opinion probably doesn't matter as much since I still think of myself as being rather new to the fandom, but I wanted to say my piece any-way, because to me your work was important and on some level very meaningful.
I find it rather unfair that I should just be discovering this universe and have one the people who most influenced me to explore it leave just as I joined (did that make sense? I'm not aiming that at you btw XDD just imagine me standing on a cliff shaking my fist at a sunset or something) :shakefist:
It sucks. I always looked forward to your comments on my fanart because I valued your opinion and looked up to you. My timing in joining the fandom really REALLY sucks XD;;

Whatever you do next, I hope you have fun. Original work is always good, I wish I could be passionate enough about my original characters as I can fandoms. It gets harder to be part of fandoms as I get older it seems since fandoms are mostly made up of older teens. So I hope you have great success with that. You're an excellent writer, the best un-published writer I know, I dunno if that's the route you're choosing to take, but if it is I know you'll go far :thumbsup:

I'll probably still do fanart for your fics, but I hope you will never take them as some sort of peer pressure to stay in the fandom or anything like that. I merely love what you've done and want to show how much they mean to me, so please forgive future fanworks.

Good luck with whatever comes next for you :heart: and if anything please know, if it's worth anything, your work touched me very very deeply, and they're one of the things that ignites the fire in me and makes me go "I want to be able to make some-one feel the way this story/picture/movie/song made ME feel" and is helping me drive forward to achieve my real life dreams of being an animator, artist and story-teller.
and if by some strange happenings you ever decide to come back to the fandom at some stage in life (lolwhut?) and I happen to still be in the fandom myself, be sure to drop me a line :)

Thank you for sharing so much with us :heart:

I have been hearing this a LOT lately. There is just no magic in the cartoon anymore and so many people were so much in love with 2k3 that they sort of feel slapped in the face with BTTS. I didn't even like FF that much but tolerated it for some bunny hope (sadly got none).

I fell out of the fandom for a long bit and really refocused myself on some old shows I had forgotten. It reminded me of what characterization and actual storylines felt like again. I must thank that for getting me somewhat back on track in the past few months. I read :iconmommyspike:'s absolutely phenomenol Gargoyles fanfiction, Tengu, and realized that sometimes fan works can be just as good as the show's so went on a quest to re-read some old TMNT fanfictions that did the same.

Honestly, Ame, I never got the chance to tell you, but re-reading The Fallen is actually what has me pumped again for TMNT :) It really inspired me to watch the old 2k3 episodes I have on DVD and work on writing and drawing again.

That all said, I realize the need to move on, too. And I just wish for you to know that whatever you pursue next, if I see it I shall come because you are blessed with amazing talent, girl, and I enjoy every centimeter of your drawings and each word of your writing :giggle:

Good luck :hug:

I still like the turtles and want to draw them, but nothing comes to mind at all :( so I guess I need to move on to something else anyway.

Maybe there's just lacking of inspiration to draw them in general. I get that way once in a while. Who knows - maybe something will pop up, but drawing other things is good too. ^^

Personally the BttS was THE WORST season ever! I'm the type who would watch it for sheer addiction, but this season turned me off so bad it made me want to stab somebody; their characteristics were pretty much mangled in BttS, even the FF season had better quality! :(
