And so leaves BlackWindKaze, one of the better authors to ever grace FF.net. I can't really blame him for leaving though; especially if your work gets stolen and people are just being complete jerks about it. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up if any of you are fans of his work.

Here are his last words:

QUOTE
Appologies to those who I would care about upsetting, but I'm quitting all projects. The fandom is no longer enjoyable for me. I won't even waste energy explaining it, because anyone who knows me knows I've been going on about the fandoms state for a long time now until I've been blue in the face, but it changes nothing.

As for FF7 Experience which comes from a different fandom, I've already accomplished what I set out to do: show that a self-insert doesn't have to suck, and can certainly have its original aspects. That fic spawned a lot of obvious rip offs. In an alternate universe, I take it as a compliment. Here, it just pissed me off. (However, there are a select few who actually e-mailed me about their fics. To those people, I wish you well)

Lastly, as to why I had to delete my stories and contact information: I have no desire to be lambasted by the lower end of FFNet's ilk.


Now I'm going to be depressed for the rest of the day sad.gif.

ahhh... blackwindkaze.

truly a great author. I liked Black Destiny, and I've read the FF7 Experience. Both are VERY GOOD. =)

I'd say RIP, but he's not dead. XD!! So I guess I should say good luck.

Wow. Did he wipe his livejournal as well? I tend to keep an eye on his projects and make the occasional comment there, but he appears to have dropped off the face of the earth.

To remove all trace of everything he has accomplished, only leaving behind a memory...
The work of the brave, the apathetic or the foolish.

As an aspiring author, I salute you, BlackWindKaze.
As a reader, I shake my head in disappointment.

Heh, actually it seems like he's have a temper tantrum really. He should know by now that a lot of people on the web aren't very.....nice.

I with Vespar as I've got two way feelings about this.

You know this particular action shows the immaturity of his actions. Don't completely delete everything, there is no point in that. Oh well, whatever.

If you've had a piece of your fanfic ripped off, wouldn't he be able to complain to the admins about it?

A poor shame really... Forever and a Day was one of the best stories I've read, a great, interesting plot. I also read Black Destiny before he took it off. I didn't mind the self-insertion very much, and I looked forward to more of both stories. Some authors let others continue where they left off when they leave their stories behind, ie: Naruto:Beserk, but we all know that even if they grant permission, the bastardizations of the originals won't be the same. Fare thee well, BlackWindKaze
