Heya everybody! So, first and foremost, let me say that this isn't a post to say I'm going on hiatus, rather the opposite, an explanation of just what the heck has been up with me the past couple months. I feel more than a little guilty in just ghosting away from doing posts, and feel that an explanation is owed, as well as what's going on now and going forward. Without going into all too much detail, roughly two months ago I started noticing symptoms of what, at the time, seemed very much to me to be something possibly very serious, and overall was extremely alarming. I was in the midst of battling with insurance for well over a month and a half before I was able to go and get checked out, and thankfully the indication was that I was doing fine.
That said, I still have the same issues that I had noticed initially, and chronic pain is quite an issue because of that, and even though overall I'm very relieved to have found out that things are seemingly okay, the anxiety and strain of the whole ordeal took far more out of me than I realized, and I wasn't able to get back into things as quickly as I had hoped. I worried that my frequenting the ICC would come off as strange or even offensive, given that I wasn't posting for the many threads I had active, but truthfully those low impact interactions were one of the only things keeping my spirits up during that time.
So, I just want to clarify. I do very much enjoy writing with you all, and I love you guys a ton. I'm thrilled to be getting back into things after such a long and unfortunately unspoken hiatus, but with two caveats. With so much time having passed, and a lot of interaction done in the ICC, continuing now months old threads from where they were has proved to be too difficult a mindset for me to get into. As such, I sincerely apologize, but I'm going to be dropping all active threads, unless I otherwise mention to you that I'd like to keep it going. That said, I'm more than happy to start fresh plots and threads going with all of you, but for now, I'm going to be putting in a cap of four active threads per character, so as to hopefully avoid burning myself out again before I'm mentally prepared to dive in fully. I hope that you all can forgive my lack of communication, and that we'll all be able to have fun with each other moving forward.
Much love, Goblin
