Leave? Who said anything about leaving? I'm staying!
But honestly though, you guys will be DYING for critique, so I'll stick around for that purpose
As for me, I did a short story. I've always loved to write, and doing a subject that just required me to do something I loved (and little more) was just a dream come true... it also allowed me to take a subject close to my heart and have a damn good excuse to publicly write about it

I'm another essay-writing-hater, so the creative writing was a good outlet for me. In a lot of my original drafts, there is a LOT of venting... it all had to be edited out though

lol.
I think all the mediums are good - I have friends that between us, we've done them all and there isn't a single person whose regretted what they've done. One or two switched from poetry to Critical Responses, but it all works out in the end.
