A Special, Sad But Important Announcement

Summary:

Since several months, I've been pretty silent on a lot of things related to "Infinity Crisis". There's reasons for this and they were important enough for me to write something about it.

It has been fun, everyone.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

After almost three years as a part of the author group of Infinity Crisis, the time has came for me to retire.

Projects who are still in-progress (at least, the last chapters I was actually doing before taking my decision) will still be released when I can, along with descriptions of all my initial plans, if other authors wish to follow up on them.

Reasons for this departure include personal dissatisfaction with my writing, as well as my well-being being affected by the darker tone of a bunch of my planned stories and the only reviews I’ve received being from bots/people who haven’t read my profile and are more interested in getting money off of me rather than giving me genuine opinions.

I know this comes off as a shock and I’m truly sorry for that.

Lots of good times have been shared, whether it was with the authors or with the few genuine fans of my work, but when it stops being fun, you’ll have to recognize it and move on.

Future projects will include solo fanfictions, a refocus on my own personal lore that I’ve been ignoring for too long and new translations on the French Branch of the Foundation SCP, as well as my first attempts at professional music under the form of a rap mixtape that will be released under the label Griselda, a partnership that I’m still riding the high of.

Of course, I wasn’t about to totally leave you in the dark about this and, even if I’m nervous at the idea of writing this, I hope you will be able to understand my decision.

Oh, actually, no, I’m not that sorry at all for retiring because at least, this will allow me to live a bit.

Living, guys ! I mean, wow, taking care of myself and actually taking steps to make sure I can find some happiness again after such turbulent times. And, at least, this will also allow me to let my self-insert do whatever the fuck she wants and not having her truly magnificent vision for the Multiverse below us being rejected by lots and lots of insignificant douches who know way less than she does and are way less awesome than she is and that she should have killed already for such pettiness !

Sorry, rambling here. Anyway, as a last gift to all of you, I wanted to offer you a song that I’ve lovingly composed just for the occasion. I hope this voice reveal will please you enough. That’s all for me and as my last words, remember : life is unfair, kindness is a lie, drugs, escapism and plushies are your only friends and no one will ever love you because humans have been, are and will always be fundamentally unable to love and support each other, buh-byyyyyyyyyyye !

Notes:

EDIT IN URGENCE: Hello, everyone. The Soldier here. This Author's Note has been added at the last minute by my author, on my behalf.

She is NOT retiring from IC. My past self used to her advantage the, erm, typical chaos that generally unleashes itself during April Fools Day in order to briefly take over her AO3 account and fake a retirement post (and violate the rules of the site in the process, but I digress). However, since I saw a certain thing related to the first letters of each paragraph - which was a complete coincidence - we decided to highlight it as a counter-response.

I apologize for the inconvenience and can confirm that everything will still move forward like it should. It's not a true news post, AO3, please, don't delete this, we promise it's not.

At least, I can hope you liked the video! It's still a classic and I will always stand for it.
