Elessar's Absence

Postby Elessar » Tue Sep 23, 2014 2:58 am

Hello!

Loving Triaxian Silk community, thank you for your patience over these last few very difficult weeks. A few of you have been trying to submit stories and have not received any reply. I'm sorry to say my mother passed away on August 25th and I was out of town for 2 weeks handling that. It was very sudden and unexpected and I've been handling all of her affairs since then. It is a very daunting task, something I do not wish on anyone. (This is where I say - if you are over 35 - do yourself a favor and put your documents like life insurance and Wills and car/house titles in a fire safe or a lockbox and tell your loved ones where everything is! AND GET A WILL!)

In any case, I haven't caught up on the submissions yet but I am working hard to inform everyone of my absence and get things moving again. My apologies for the silence. And my sincere apologies to the authors who have been waiting... many of you have stuck with us through thick and thin and offer us your work even when you might get more viewership elsewhere. We sincerely, I sincerely, appreciate your patronage, and your company, in this thing of ours, over the years.

Respectfully yours,
John

My most sincere condolences, John.
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

I grieve with thee.

(and the advice about wills and documents is spot-on)
Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.

My condolences, John. And good luck with all that. It must be so hard to deal with when you are already dealing with your grief.

My condolences! Losing a parent is very hard, even without those extra complications. I hope all of that is coming together as well as possible.

Thanks everyone. I've also just been manditorily moved to night shift (midnight - 9 AM) so I haven't caught up on site work yet.

Ugh - I hate night shift. Actually, what I really hate is trying to sleep during the day. Everyone assumes it's OK to bang on your door, run their leaf blower next to your window, etc. Hang in there!

John,

You have my prayers and condolences.

And folks, please take his advice re: documents to heart. If you haven't had to help pick up the pieces you just cannot understand.

My prayers are with you, your family and of course your mom.

RIP Tom, I will miss you, as will many others

You must be in a very dark place right now. I'm so sorry.

May whatever you believe in give you strength and comfort, especially your friends and family.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers guys. We have a new admin coming on soon to help me catch up from the deluge. It's discouraging what's happened, all the submissions that have sat and gathered dust, but I think we can recover.

I'm actually going to try and pick up the pen again here in the next few weeks to get something going. I never felt right about leaving my AU "Warp 6 Complex" series a twist of fate without more meat to it, and I wanted to do more with Your Mom n Me. Maybe we can get the creative juices flowing again after all these years!

I'm looking forward to the things our new admin will be posting and to the things that will come from getting those creative juices flowing!
