I left the site because I was completely fed up with everything. I didn't like some of the things going on with the show. I began to utterly loathe my own writing. And let's be quite frank, the fandom as a whole was going to shit where I was sitting from.
One group in particular ended up being so horrifically toxic that I just called it quits and stopped bothering. At least while writing a Star Trek original and a Poison Ivy character analysis, I wasn't going to be harassed, berated and other such things for not following canon. And I certainly wasn't going to continue beating myself over the head for writing the most stupid, pandering dreck that I could muster.
Thing is, original writing is just where I'm more comfortable in the end. I don't know if I'm ready to make a return, there's a good chance I won't actually do that.
Maybe I'll take a look at Season 5, without being a judgemental prick who loses his shit over stupid flaws. (Like DigiBrony).
Maybe I'll just wait until I find a good DC or Trek fanfic site to settle into. Who knows...
Do what you're comfortable with.
For me, it's my novel I've been working on intermittently since I was 18.

I wrote the prologue 14 times before I finished one I could accept.

I have a personal philosophy of discontent with everything I do.
I hate myself, but it's something I need, and I really do NEED it, to keep going.
