A quick apology

[ratherastory]

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.

Oh, hey there. I understand overwhelming life-stress, I really do. And so much of the tone of this entry strikes me as really sad -- even if not meaning you're sad, but overwhelmed and stressed and cut off and feeling like you only have this many followers because we want you to post more stories. We all sometimes need to back off from fandom when it gets too draining or other aspects of life take over. It's okay.

Fandom is a community. I've learned that in my ten-plus years here. We support each other however we can, and we care about each other on a very genuine level. So I just wanted to offer hugs, whatever I can, and let you know I really hope things ease up for you, sleep becomes easier and more restful, and you manage to stay in touch with your friends.
