regshoeI am leaving Flight of the Heron fandom completely. I'm sorry; I'd hoped it wouldn't come to this, but it's not somewhere I can be happy staying any more.
From here on, I will not be posting or reading new fic, posting here about the book or generally talking about it or engaging with the fandom. My existing fanworks, Dreamwidth posts and the stuff on yejacobitesbyname will stay where they are. I've used Dreamwidth filtering and my keyword-blocking extension to ensure I won't see posts about it.
I think it's also sensible to put The Wounded Name and "Mr Rowl" under a similar ban, but will not abandon Broster entirely: I'm continuing working on the St Hilda's papers, and still intend to read The Captain's Lady at some point. Besides that, I'll be careful about how I engage with other fandoms, including Kidnapped, and about what new fandoms I get into in future.
It's coming up on five years now since I first read the book, and being in fandom for it has brought me a lot of joy in that time. Thank you all for all you've contributed to that. I still love the book, and I'll treasure those memories.
