closed

Sadly, sometimes fanlistings close. I never thought I would close one, but eventually it happened even to me. It's always sad when it happens, but life goes on.

Sawa from Kite
Reason: As much as I still love Kite and the character of Sawa, I didn't feel I was doing any justice to this listing. I tried to adopt it out and found that there wasn't any interest from anyone else. It was adopted briefly, but returned to me, and since I felt like I couldn't do any justice to the listing, I closed it. :(

"Memory Motel" by The Rolling Stones
Reason: I needed to cut back around the beginning of 2006, and despite the fact that I love this song so much, this was one of the listings I could prune. Since nobody had joined besides me and a couple of my RL friends, I decided to simply close it rather than try to adopt it out.

Mammoth Cave
Reason: Again, cutbacks from the beginning of 2006. Like "Memory Motel" I decided to close it rather than try to adopt it out because of the lack of members.

The RahXephon from RahXephon
Reason: I tried to adopt this one out, but no one wanted it and I had lost interest in running it. 

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Reason: I tried to adopt this one out, but no one wanted it and I had lost interest in running it. 

DC Comics: Firestorm (Classic) &  (Elemental)
Reason: I reconsidered whether these should be listed as separate characters.  I especially think that classic Firestorm is really just a 'version' of a character - or in his case, two characters.  The Jason Rusch run as Firestorm taught me that one.  It's harder with the elemental, since he does have a separate personality when he's made from Ron, Mikhail & Svarozhich, but later the elemental is simply a version of Martin Stein, so it can be said he's just a 'version' of the three as well, since they do composite to form the personality.  Damn complicated backstory.  Damn complicated.

Alexander: Costumes of
Reason: I tried to adopt this one out, but no one wanted it (including the former owner), and I had lost interest in running it.  It always felt like the consolation prize for not getting Alexander & Hephaestion, which was the FL I really wanted from the film.

The Legend of Huma by Richard A. Knaak
Reason: I tried to adopt this one out, but no one wanted it and I had lost interest in running it.  I could have rekindled by love for the book with a quick reread, but I figure if I have to do that, rather than be a big fan of it at all times, then I shouldn't be running a fanlisting for it.
