I'm out.

I've never been massively involved in the fandom per se, but the show itself provided a world that I enjoyed being creative within, and this site gave that creativity a home. Over the past week or two, I've seen and read enough to know in my heart that I just can't enjoy being creative here anymore, and I'm done trying to convince myself otherwise.

All the best, folks. Try to look after yourselves.

First, warm and heartfelt thanks for the kind messages and comments. I didn't see/read them until I logged in today, but it means a lot to know that I was in your thoughts. *awkward blushing*

At least, I hope it's short term... heh.

Ok, dark humour aside; I've lost one of the skirmishes against this C19 lark, and as of today I'll be getting some more intense treatment in one of our fine hospital establishments. Hopefully it's a short stay, but yeah, I hate my weak-ass respiratory system sometimes. I don't feel great, and I'm hoping things don't worsen, but yeah. Bleh.

Hi everyone!

I hope you've had/are having/will have a great weekend. It, uh, is the weekend, right? Everything is kinda all blurring into one.

Hello all!

I'm still alive and kicking, mostly! I didn't think it was possible to sleep so much in one day, however. Feeling a little worse today, if I'm honest, but I'm hopeful that it's just a minor blip. Anyway, all of your lovely comments and conversations on Proximity have been keeping a smile on my face. At a time when human interaction is limited I can't stress how appreciated your time and company is.

Just a small update today, really. I wanted to share, in case you weren't already aware, that Proximity has been getting some update love. So if you enjoyed it the first time round, do please go check it out again and let me know what you think. The (I'm calling it) second season of flashfics has so far touched upon crappy kissing, floral metaphors and Ocellus being something of a metal-loving bugfiend. I'll probably stick to the original in terms of chapter numbers and lengths, meaning

Hi, folks!

How are you doing during these crazy times? I hope you're continuing to stay positive and healthy; the mental impact of restrictive measures shouldn't be overlooked, no matter how important it might be to "do our bit". Personally, my heart goes out to those who aren't able to access a green space or garden during this time.

Hello again! This post is coming a little earlier than I intended, but I had some free time, and I thought it would make sense to get my thoughts down before they have a chance to escape!
