Back from the dead?

Just to let you know I'm back to some degree and working on a new story, which is more like two stories in one, alternate universes and such.
Also, I hope to receive more views and comments on the story.

Possibly my last blog post

I don't want you to think I'm doing something rash, and I don't want folks to think I'm planning on leaving this world permanently --
I haven't been very active on this site for a long time, and I'm taking stock of what I've written (and what hasn't been published yet)
but I have decided to cancel some of the stories I started writing a long time ago but never got around to finishing.

Finally

After more than a year and a half without home internet, I have finally managed to get it back.
It's also nice to not have to worry about someone looking over your shoulder trying to read what you're writing as well.
Living alone can have its advantages but also can get pretty lonely sometimes.
No, I am not seeking companionship, if that's what you're asking.

Update

I have been dealing with life issues, along with playing a couple of games which have occupied a great deal of my time.
I have found it difficult to get my muse back, so many of my unfinished stories are gathering dust -- not to mention the fact that it's hard to write pony stuff with someone watching you over your shoulder (*cough* my GF *cough*).

Has it really been that long?

I find myself looking at my join date and also note the fact that I've been a member of this site for four years already...
I'm just amazed by how swiftly time passes.

I have noticed a tendency of some users who seem to take delight in downvoting stories simply based on a writer's reputation or their perception of that writer. Regardless of the quality of the writing, there are apparently some who don't really care how well written a story is, they just place a down-vote willy-nilly on every story in that writer's pantheon.

I find such a practice most detestable, specifically because those who do this contribute nothing positive to improve the writer's efficiency or capacity as a story-writer.

I understand there is nothing I can do about this, though it leaves me feeling quite angry at those who do it just because they can. My only request is this -- for any who decide to down-vote any of my stories (or all of them if you are so inclined) please leave me a comment as to why you made such a choice -- and please DON'T leave emoticons as your only response, as those don't help me at all.

Thanks for your patience -- my vent is over now.
