Forum:Stepping down



Stepping down&mdash;so for the last couple of days I have been working hard, concentrating on my school work and home life, writing analyzation essays and what not. During this time I have also been contemplating everything in my life and I realized that it is because of my OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and perhaps my Aspie syndrome that I give so much of a crap about Star Wars Fanon. It bugs me just to see crappy content being written, bad formatting, incorrect spelling and grammar, and I never knew why until I actually thought about it. I can't stand seeing a bunch of shit around here and to be honest, there is a lot of it. Even some of my own work is complete shit and I know it, but I guess I just wrote it for the hell of it. I love Star Wars and I love writing; I'm good at writing, from what I've heard from others and my latest English professor, which is why I do it so much. However, I just can't always make time for it and sometimes I just want to write something and don't realize it's a bad idea until after I write it or expand on it. This is one reason why I am stepping down: I admit that when it comes to Star Wars Fanon, I am a perfectionist as many of you know, and I can't stand letting myself suffering over such petty stuff. So I will be hacking away at a handful of my fanon and adding to my "cut content" for my own sake.

But what I am really stepping down from is my Bureaucrat (Supreme Chancellor), Administrator (Cabal), and Decreton Lord positions. I just don't feel like I have time for it anymore for one, and I don't believe that I need to put myself through those positions any longer. While it lasted it was great fun. I brought about a lot of good and bad things to Star Wars Fanon, from it's logo, to articles, to pissing n00bs off, and to implementing a bunch of overzealous rules. As many of you know, I have no more time to review even a simple Featured Article. I know I said I would dedicate myself to it from the beginning, and did during my entire time as a Decreton Lord until recent months, but I believe it's time for me to stop worrying about such things. Secondly, as an Admin/Bureaucrat (although the latter is pointless, basically) I have done a lot of deletions, discussions, arguing, whining, bitching, enforcing, and what not. I have tried to do all of this to best of my abilities and I think I did pretty well as an Admin, always attending to issues. This is the biggest reason why I am stepping down. I do not want to worry myself over taking care of or looking over Star Wars Fanon anymore and I don't want to waste my time dealing with belligerent newcomers. Basically, I just prefer to go back to my status as a regular user around here.

But do not worry. This is not a farewell from Star Wars Fanon. Maybe some of you wanted that? Too bad! But seriously, I just want to write a bunch of "pointless fanon" and be happy and free from responsibility over my e-life. The ride was awesome while it lasted, and sometimes grueling, but I loved it nonetheless. I will now regress into my normal state and be a normal chum around here. Oh and also, do not worry: I will do my duty as the new co-head of CUSWFN for a while, and I will of course still be here to write and collaborate and what not. I might refrain from voting in SWF:GAN though, mostly because I do not want to waste time reviewing articles, but I will voice my opinion in SWF:QOTW since it requires no reviewing, just reading. So farewell my fellow Admins (those of you who still come here) and fellow Decreton Lords (again, those of you still here). I have already asked Sannse to remove my status as an Admin from the two Wikis that I administrated (this one and another). Lastly, please, no stupid "Goodbye... now time to choose the replacement!" comments, because chances are, it won't be you. But the real reason is because I just want to announce this, I don't want this to turn into the vote for the next admin or whatever. Just say your farewells or whatever, even though I'm not really leaving anyway. Peace! --Victor (talk) 04:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
