With a Heavy Heart.......
At the moment, I write to AC because of the different content I can submit which is not restricted to one genre only. Rather than being forced to submit content under these new AC rules which only seem to be directed to its international writers, I have decided to restrict my writing to one article here and there. I am surprised at this action from AC as I feel that the amount paid to us is probably a tiny percentage of what AC earns through the readership each article generates.
I felt I owed an explanation to all the wonderful people who might wonder why I do not contribute or leave comments on their articles as often as I did. I have come to think of you all friends and your feedback made writing such fun. Good luck to my great PV team (Jack, Melina, Stephanie and Melissa) and best of luck to you all!

Shaheen, I'm so sorry to hear this but glad you plan to continue the occassional article. Please let us know where we can continue reading your work!
Sorry I haven't been commenting in some time - afraid new writing job plus new full-time off-line job have kept me busy and exhausted but loving life. Do so want to keep in touch with my dear AC friends, sharing page love & appreciation for you. ღஐღ
Shaheen I miss you so much. I love your poems. This is so sad and AC is going to lose wonderful people, writers, poets like you. Is there any way that we can still keep in touch. Good luck Shaheen. I hope you will find another way to publish your work. I'm sure one day you will become a great poetess.
This isn't good, sorry to see you go. We'll be looking out for your articles and poems elsewhere. Good luck and all the best!
Sorry to see you go, it's sad that so many of our friends are going to disappear. Don't forget to hook up with your friends before you leave, so we can still keep in touch. You can find me on many sites as "poddys". Wishing you luck.
This is really sad...why don't you apply for the featured writers' program? Do let us know where your writings can be read.
Thanks for letting us know. You will be missed. This really was an unfortunate set of events.
It is so unfair. You will be missed if you leave.
