Ultimately, I have decided to leave up my two most popular stories:
Intoxication, which got an extreme boost in views after being part of a popular reading series.
and
A Familiar Shape, A Different Taste, which was easily my most popular work, making it on EqDaily as one of the earliest examples of M/M shipping. I did delete the clop chapter, because I honestly wish I'd never written any of that.
There are other pieces that I was proud of, and remain proud of, but I am officially done. My DA profile has been deleted, and I have no plans to return to this site. This month, I will see the publication of my first book, and while the fandom provided me with plenty of opportunities to express myself, it's a world that I choose to leave behind. If you desperately want to read a work no longer on this site, I'm sure it can be found somewhere.
I want to thank everyone who was supportive of me in my writing. If not for the encouragement, I would have stopped almost immediately, and I wouldn't be where I am today.
Thanks for reading,
Doctor Dapples
P.S. - If you're absolutely, 100% determined to keep in contact with me, I am reachable at my Tumblr page.
So long, Doc.
Congratulations on publication!
Deeply disappointing, all things considered.
It's been literal years since I logged on; by chance I did tonight, and I wanted to see if any of my fellow 'oldies' were around. (Apparently I only followed two people, ha!) I'm so proud of you for getting published! What an amazing accomplishment! This was two years ago now, and I hope you have even more books published by now, or that you are working on whatever your next dream is. Maybe someday you'll see this comment!
Wishing you all the best,
Jimbo

I actually came by looking also, as I hadn't been able to talk to Doctor Dapples in a long time. It's good to see you again though, Jimbo. And likewise, I hope this comment finds you well, Dapples. Congrats on the publication!

It's always fun to see where life has taken us after so many years! And whoops, I wasn't following you!! I just fixed that problem right quick!
