I'll keep this brief. As per the title, I'm currently taking a holiday. I'll only be gone for a few weeks, and eventually come back to it.

In the meantime, please direct any questions to another mod or approver so as to not be stuck waiting.

Thanks all.

So, for readers of my story "Walk", it's not dead. I actually have the story's plot planned out a fair bit, at least to the climactic final scenes. I simply lack any capacity to write any of it. Between story approvals, a new store manager at work who is so blatantly incompetent so as to make a 2 year old look worthy of MENSA, laughing about various things occurring on the site and in the real world, recurring illness and a genuine lack of knowledge on how to write what I want to get

Hello all, and welcome to the first "Cheshire Recommends", something I mentioned I might do, wherein I recommend books, games, movies and music and make it sound like I know what I'm doing.

This week on my amateur chopping block is a personal favourite book series of mine, Patrick Ness' "Chaos Walking".

So, as anyone who knows me knows, I read. I read a whole damn lot. I read so much that I have completely filled 4 book-cases, a TV cabinet and 3 more decent sized moving boxes with books I have purchased and subsequently read in their entirety. Not even mentioning all the fan-fiction or online novels

Now, I know that sounds "braggy", but there's a point to this.

I'm going to ask y'all to do one thing for me.

Would you kindly not write comments on my userpage about any fics I've approved, use my page for advertising your own fics or make irrelevant ramblings that you want me to read, but I never will in any sort of reasonable timeframe?

It's not that I dislike y'all, it's more that I just don't like reading these things on a page I barely look at, especially self-promotion for things I really don't care about.

What is it with y'all and "5 Nights at Freddie's" fics? Like... they're all just awful.

I don't understand people's fascination with either the game, the characters or in writing... just terrible fics about them.

Someone please explain this to me, because I seriously don't understand it.

So yeah... Apparently I'm a Story-Approver now. I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing... Yay me?

So, as my next chapter for "Walk" gets slowly completed, I figure I should up some hype for it with a bit of a teaser. So here goes, some unedited, raw chapter for your enjoyment.

G'day my minons, my friends and (though I don't think I have any on this particular site) my enemies. I'm back (kind of), and what I have to say is of moderate interest to probably one or two of you.

First and foremost, my constant streak of leaving quite probably fatal situations alive seems to be holding, though I wish it would end soon (in a way that lets me live).
