A quick apology

Real Life is taking up all my time. When I'm not working night shifts I'm either sleeping (inadequately) or dealing with house and family things. So I basically have almost no time. I check Twitter in short bursts here and there, because it's the only way I can really stay connected to people, but I may have to back off on that too, because it's taking up more time than I can probably spare.

I've stepped back a bit from my mod duties in the comms I run, and recruited volunteers to help with the work load where needed. Hopefully that will make up for my absence lately, because I was feeling really badly about letting down everyone who was counting on me as a mod.

I'm not writing, either, of course. I don't think I'm going to be writing at all, either fanfic or original stuff. It was nice while it lasted. So if you're hanging on here in the hopes of seeing more fic, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed.

And, naturally, I haven't had time to answer the few comments people have been leaving. I'm really sorry about this, but I don't foresee any of this changing, well, ever. Certainly not in the next few months, probably even a year or indefinitely.

Anyway, this is me apologizing for the fact that I'm not around anymore and likely won't be.

You didn't let anyone down, or at least not me. I understand when life gets too tough and we all move on. It happens, I've understood every single time when a friend announced they were sort of 'moving on' which is natural. So try not to guilt yourself too much over it. I mean LJ and fandom is supposed to be fun, not a chore that you'll feel guilty over when you don't do something. When it starts becoming that I can understand why it would start to be stressful, as I assume it was for you.

I hope you get your personal life worked out so that you aren't so stressed! And remember, only come back or dive back in if you want to. If you don't that's perfectly okay as well.
