Public Apology Time!

So, I dropped off the internet for about... half a month, I guess. I figured, since I've made a bit of a public nuisance of myself, in the sense of modding comms and starting projects and generally having responsibilities/duties towards people other than myself, I should first and foremost apologize, and then explain why for any who care to listen.

So, first and foremost: I apologize for dropping internet-dead without warning. Work and personal life got very crazy for a while, and I had to drop fandom and other internet activities until I got that straightened out. I'm back now.

Explanation, for the curious: ( Excuses, excuses, excuses... )

Things that will now no longer be dead, like me:

grand_line_vine is back in business, finally and for real. I REALLY WANT MORE STAFF. Please? I'm especially and specifcially looking for backup editors, who will collect the news when I can't, so that the newsletter doesn't collapse utterly when my life does. I specifically don't want the newlsetter to be 100% dependent on me, so I'm very anxious to find people who can help with that. You wouldn't even have to do all of it -- if someone is willing to just be an LJ backup editor, or an Arlong park backup editor or a FF.net backup editor, that would be lovely.

ffarchive is getting its butt back in gear as well. Browsing and Searching post is being worked on right now, and should be up shortly.

picks_n_paeans will also rise from the dead as soon as I've discharged less personal responsibilities. Since the rec journal is not something others depend on me for, it's lower on my list of priorities.

Communties I mod, expect to see me back and commenting/posting away again. ff_100, avatar_flashfic, and atlaforgrownups, I'm looking at you.

Oh, and once I've discharged those more public duties, I fully intend to get some drawing and writing done. I actually went over my list of completed and in-progress stories and have done a lot of work on most of the stories there, so expect to see more soon =)

So, that's that. I was away, I apologize, I'm back.
