I’m on a soft hiatus, sorry for not responding to messages. I wanted to post this note bc there are ppl I’ve seen drift away from fandom and I’ve missed them, and wanted to know that they’re at least okay, that nothing bad happened that’s preventing them from being available. Whether they needed a break from me or from fandom in general, just a check in is a good thing to do…
There is one such person I have in mind talking about this, and we’ve communicated 2x in about a year and a half, they had shut off all their regular social media (Tumblr, twitter, FB) and they are living peacefully offline, as far as I know. This person really needed to be with themselves and heal from the fighting that can happen online, where controversy seems to be encouraged.
So my story is that Real Life has had me away from a desk for a few weeks now, on special assignments, and beyond that, I’ll just say that I needed some time to myself. To reflect on all the recent info from the past year or so, reflect and recalibrate my attitude on things. Like vampires going to ground, which I haven’t really done except in short breaks over the last several years here.
I’ve been watching a lot of documentaries lately and can recommend some. I’m in a state where I’m absorbing ideas, and I think it will enrich my presence here and my fanfic writing, which I miss very much.
I’m focused on cults, public shaming, controversial ppl with personalities… I’ll make a separate post for that.
ANYWAY I’m sorry for my absence, I’m doing fine, and I hope to return on a more regular basis soon.
