Trying to be less lurk-y
Friday, October 2, 2009 12:57 AM
To say that life has been busy would be an understatement. Between work, and my own business, planning for a family wedding, some terrible family fighting, depression, my husband's diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, and, believe it or not, even more than that, I've had a full plate the last couple of years.As a result, the time I get to spend here has suffered. How often I get to write has suffered. My muse has suffered. Basically, I became a lurkery version of my former self, and have been guilty for far too long of reading here, but not commenting, which, from a fic-writer's perspective is really inexcusable (note I said inexcusable and not unforgivable *wink wink nod nod*)
And I've missed it. I've missed being part of the 'newer' crop of Mal/Inara writers, of the conversations that I should have been able to participate in and the friends I should have made.
And most of all, I really miss writing and posting fic. My contributions have been so few and far between over the last two+ years, and that saddens me greatly. Because I LOVE this fandom. I LOVE writing Mal/Inara and I LOVE reading it. Yeah, I'm all about the love :oD
Seriously though, I am.
So, I've decided to try and actively make time to participate here more. To comment on the fic I read, and to work at finishing the serieses (is that a word? my multiple, unfinished series...es...) and new stuff too.
That's it for now I guess. Just putting it out there so I can't slip back to lurkerdom so easily ;o)

Yay! Choices AND the Slower Path?
I'm sorry to hear about all of your troubles, though. Just remember, fic writing and reading is for unwinding. :)
Looking forward to talking with you.

Yes, I've been working on both Choices and The Slower Path. :o)
And a few drabbles. And playing with a 'choose your own fic' style thing. And writing some crossover fic. So the muse seems to be cooperating a bit. I guess that counts as unwinding :o)

Welcome back. I for one can't wait to read some more of your writing. :-) I haven't been here much myself, recently (or getting much writing done), but Aliasse was saying the other day that, in a busy life, FFF, the reading, the writing, the exchange, is a great release. I think that's true (and a good reason for me to try to touch base here a bit more than I have been recently, too!).
Good luck with all of the stressors of real life. It does indeed sound like you've got a load on your shoulders these days. Hopefully, your writing and FFF can provide a little reprieve. We'll look forward to your return!

I'm a big fan of your work (especially the Slower Path), and delighted to read that the series will continue. More!

Aw, well thank you. You both are makin' me blush :o)
Release is always a good thing in my book ;o) So yes, I hope that I'll be able to get back to things here and take a break from the rest of the world. Looking forward to it my own self!

(I've left you a comment to your comment on my last chapter.) Particularly looking forward to The Slower Path. That was going deliciously and beautifully and acheyly - well, Mal/Inaraly, what can I say.

Yes, I saw your comment and have commented upon the comment! :o)
I am hoping to have a Slower Path update soon; I am working on it, along with a few other things, and have made a bit of progress, and I think folks should like the way things are going ;o)

Good for you! Sadly, my mind is so far from fic right now. I don't check in on this site much lately. I'm glad to hear someone is going to move forward with fic!

Oh, I'm sad to hear that your mind is far from fic :o( Real Life will do that when we get busy with it. I sincerely hope your mind finds its way back though, I want a chance to read the end of your tale!

2X2 I hope everything is getting better for you and your family now. I also haven’t been coming (& posting) as much as I used to. I can say one thing that will be certain though. As long as Haken has his place for us here….I will come. It’s the best Firefly Forum (imo).
Best wishes for happier times ahead……
