This week will mark two months since 50shades (Fiftyshades.org) is gone. 

I just felt like writing this as to give some sort of explanation, and a way for us to let go as well. We have received tons of questions, there was a lot of disconcert whether 50shades was going to be restored or permanently closed. 

50shades was born with one objective, it may sound illusive or silly, but we wanted to make this fandom more free and fair. We wanted to build a platform in which every person no matter it’s editing skills, the amount of followers or notes, could join in and post anything they pleased. We always stood for artistic freedom, we grew big, -we grew too much some have said in the past-, but we invested our growth in our members and our fellow peers. Some may remember our heavy campaigns on repost of posts that were ours, and of other blogs that perhaps didn’t have the means to access a wider platform as we had. We then created the FiftyShades Group, a union of blogs in which everyone could benefit from one another’s ideas and means. In a short way, we always tried to improve our community in any way or mean we could.

50shades started with three members, then they were 6, then 14, then 35. When we less realised it, it was 100 of us posting day and night, in every timezone of the world in order to keep feeding the best available and most diverse content in the fandom. I look at this fandom now, and realise how many of us have been a part of 50shades in different stages of it’s life, and it kind of brings tears to my eyes seeing how many people believed and invested in this project.

Today, 50shades rests in our memories, alongside EverythingDakotaJohnson and The Fifty Shades Group. It is such a huge blessing for us to continue seeing 50shades posts being reblogged every day on many FSOG accounts. You keep our dream and our project alive.

I hope 50shades, or our Group, has touched you in some way and we wanted you to know that we will always be here. Spotted across our individual blogs, our own FSOG blogs, maybe in other group blogs? But we will always be team 50shades at heart.

Love you all, and thank you for these amazing 5 years.
