I haven't so much as logged in here, in... I don't know. A long time. Months. There is likely much that has passed in terms of writing, and plots, and people I've missed who said their goodbyes, or characters that have been 'retired.'
Life is chaotic. It always is. Every time a new bit of chaos entered my life, JvS was the one thing I clung to, to ride out the storm. Most recently, due to a lot of factors, JvS was not the thing I clung to. And it's more than a little weird to log in (I almost had to look up my password.)
Do I miss it? Sure. The stories, crafted with some wonderful writers -- yes indeed, I do. The long nights, the drama (some of it created by myself) and the waiting? Not so much. Will I have time for it in the future? I don't know. There is a Facebook group I'm a part of, along with several writers from JvS, and it is very active, in a chatty, .gif-laden, friendly sort of way. I don't have much to say there, either. Mostly I just feel bad that my writing was left dangling, unfinished. And that those who were filling the gap were left dangling, too.
I might check in sometime soon-ish, and see if this has garnered any hits, any replies. If you're someone I left in the void, I apologize. Been there. Some of my characters are still there, three years later, still waiting on a post that will never come.
To all the JvS'ers -- Merry Christmas, and a Happy Holiday / New Year to you all.
See you soon.
