Now let's see, I guess I should begin with my reviewers. You guys have no idea how much feedback means to an author, while it may not be the sole reason we write but it has surely fueled our long nights typing in front of the computer. A million thanks to all those who supported me one way or another.

How come I don't update my stories anymore? I suppose a big haitus sign is enough reason, but you never know, someone might want to listen to me explain. I guess it comes down to the fact that I have virtually non-exsistant spare time now, having 48 hours a day might help... work is a horrible creature that pops out whenever it sees the tiniest available time gap.

I do, eventually plan to finish my stories, sometime in this century. One-shots might just pop up here and there, though I doubt it. I haven't lost interest, just think of it as an extended holiday, and boy do I need one.

I would say Simple Existance has the best change of being completed, it's a relatively short story and the idea of it does linger in my mind. I know I promised the second part of Pet Names, and mind you I did have half of it done. That was, before my laptop decided to go fry itself, literally. Laptop's fixed, but I'm back to square one, life's tough like that.

This pretty much amounts to my poor justification. I had really just wanted to leave a note to those who wonder where I've been. Well, I might not be so much of an active writer anymore, but look out for me someday!
