"Attention, beloved users of Death Battle Fanon Wiki. I appear today to make an historic announcement. I have decided to announce my retirement... effective immediately."

Okay, I ripped all that from Dr. Robotnik's retirement speech from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, but in all seriousness...

After editing pages since June 2014 and writing battles since October 2014, I performed my final article edit on Zero VS Meta Knight last month and I completed my series finale about two days ago. From here on out, I will no longer be editing articles or making any more fanon Death Battle's.

That isn't to say that I'm leaving the Wiki forever or anything like that. I'll still make the occasional comment, come onto chat whenever, post a couple thumbnails from time to time (though from here on, I'll leave it to other users to add them to battles), and maybe even do a few blogs down the road.

I've simply finished with my primary career here.

To be clear, me making tons of edits or writing battles has never negatively affected me or my life: in fact, it often gave me an escape from that life. But with no more pages to edits, no more seasons to worry about writing out, no more research to tirelessly do, and no more worries about trying to get the "correct" outcome, I have actually had a huge weight lifted off my back.

This definitely isn't easy to write, as most know me for having been one of the longest-running contributors here even as others slowly left, but yeah, I think in regards to editing articles and writing battles, I've done just about all I can and I don't think there's really much else I can do from here that others can't do, perhaps even better than I ever could.

So... yeah.

I leave article edits to you all and my fanon Death Battle writing career has come to a close. I'll stick around for as long as I can, but from here on, consider me retired.

And here's a YouTube Poop music video about Robotnik's retirement to go along with my own.
