The time has come, my friends. I’ve already sent this message to a couple of people, but I’ll let it be known here as well. I will no longer roleplay as Tanager. It’s been a good run, but it’s time to retire the character. I’m tired of the drama – of people fighting over my time, attention, creative decisions, etc – people telling me how I should play my character. And in the writing that I’ve done with him in the last few months, I’ve realized that Tanager … Vincent Steinway … works best on paper, in story format. I’m happiest with him there – and that’s where he’ll stay. I apologize to anyone involved in Tanager-related storylines. In time, I am certain you will find a way to work him out of your own personal stories – kill him off, send him away, etc. Currently, Tanager is away in Versailles pursuing a career in diplomacy. There will be no visits to the manor, or Germany, or Paris, or wherever. Some of you may say “I’ll give him until summer; he’ll be playing Tan again in no time.” Nope. Vincent is going to stay on the page. When I do go to the manor, I may enter under the name of “Tanager” – but only for a while, that is, until people are accustomed to my new name of “Danyael.” I’ll continue with the Versailles storyline in my Tanager journal from time to time, but that is all. He will remain on the page, where he belongs. Sorry, the Time of Tanager is over … I’m tired. Namaste, Seth.
