So about 20 minutes ago I posted my second-to-last blog post, and it's actually really weird to think about a world where I'm not writing Time out of Mind. I've been doing this since august, and I'm going to miss the character and her world. I actually got a little weepy about it yesterday...weird, eh? So for the people who have finished their slender series, do you miss it or do you never want to look at your series again? Will you go back and rewrite, or let it stand as is? Do you still comment on the mythos under another name? And are you going to jump right into another blog, or just sit back and read?
As for myself, I am going to start another blog in June, but there's going to be that long period of time between which is going to be very strange. But I'm excited to have this self-contained story going on, and I think I might be sneaking back to do a few little revisions in a few months.

I'm nearly done with mine, and I feel almost exactly the same. I don't want to let go, even though I knew at some point I'd have to. And I think I'm gonna miss it slightly a lot. I love the way the whole fiction is linked across the hundreds of stories, and the way that everyone builds such a vast world by contributing their own pieces. And as far as I know, theres no other kind of fiction like it. I'll probably leave it to sit for a while, but I don't reckon I'll revisit it. As far as I can tell, my story will be done, and probably best left the way it is.
Though I may make a new one. Not sure, but I'm definitely gonna keep checking all the blogs whist I'm not Slenderbloging myself

When I finished Eccentrically Bored, I got bored real quick.
The next day I started Hidden in the Trees, so I could continue the protagonist's story and follow his exciting new life.
Spoiler:
By which I mean his new life as a proxy

I finished What You Are In The Dark last Friday. About a week beforehand, I started a new blog, on Friday I started another new blog with a co-writer and yesterday I started another new blog, though that one is non-Slender. Also, I have a vlog starting in the summer and four more Slenderblogs to do. So yeah, I'm not really "after blawg" yet.
But in reference to the end of WYAITD, well, on Wednesday, I started freaking out because I didn't think it was good enough to deserve an ending but I was snapped out of it, though, as I was walking home from piano on Friday, my brain started telling me "You have ten minutes, you can stop it. You can keep writing." But I didn't. And then I grinned for like four hours straight.

well, staying in the mythos caused me to actually bring my character back. At first I just wanted an account to comment with, but then lo and behold, Remmy became zero, and we know how well that's going.
I guess it is sort of hard to leave the stories nowadays.

Well, I've just finished writing my last post (which goes up in 11 hours time), and I have to say, I'm glad. By the end, I really wasn't enjoying it. Every time I went to write something, it felt like a struggle, or work. I ended up hating it a little. But now I'm done, I can look back and say, "that was alright, not the greatest thing ever, but hell, you gave it a shot". Now I'm gonna need something to fill the gap *looks awkwardly at Minecraft*...
I guess that I'm gonna lurk among the blogs for a bit, until I get my next blog started...(oh, and it'll possibly be IN SPACE!)

Well, there really was no "After-blog" for me. Kind of. After HF I took about a month break, then started up another one (It's in my sig) which is going to wrap soon, and I've got a non-slender blog that I've just started.

I feel kinda empty. I've been working on this blog for a long time, since Novemberish? I was posting nearly every day for a while there. It was one of my biggest free time consumers for a while.
I don't regret anything about it, other then the way I used some of the characters. I think I did what I wanted to do.

It was sad to see him go, but it was for the best I suppose
Still, poor everybody.

Slice had a good end, and if you have no regrets about how you wrote, then you did very well for yourself.
