Kyouya and Tamaki 1.0 Retiring

[Kyouya Ootori]

As you guys probably noticed, Leaf is retiring from the panel and as you might have assumed, I am as well.

I've had so many great experiences with the Ouran panel, met a lot excellent friends and created so many wonderful memories from being involved in it. But all good things come to an end and with the stress from this past year behind me I'd like to bow out now.

The reason being that I'd like to be able to have a more relaxed time at A'Cen the next couple years, have all my time to myself, and with all that we've built up for the con I don't think I will have the time or mind power to spare to build it all up again for next year and go through the whole process. I've put a lot into this panel the last three years and I am very proud of how great an impact it has had. I really hope the rest of you continue to do the panel next year and I would be happy to assist a Kyouya 2.0 with getting into character.

Thank you guys so much for the awesome experience. I think I would really love to be an actual guest next year :3 Who oh who should I designate?


PS - I THINK DEE SHOULD BE KYOUYA 2.0 : D JUST SAYIN.

Thank you both for all the effort you have put forth into this panel for the last 3 years! I am truly indebted to you for all you have done. It will not be the same without you. I don't know if we will be able to pull together and continue; it's up to our friends to back us up. As you all know, I was prepared to close the panel last year, but it was decided that we continue it for the sake of the fans. But let's face it, even the most generous of hosts are a bit selfish, and that is completely forgivable. I want us to all be aware of our limits and watch out for our health and best interests. Thank you for speaking up. Let this be an invitation for others to post in their own threads in regards to their status. I hope that the remainder of those participating will reach a consensus. What do you all think about perhaps having one more panel, just an hour long and specifically for saying farewell and parting with our guests?
