hi guys

[hutchynstarsk]

Hi guys!  My month of staying off here is over!  I'm just posting to say I'm doing better, I think.  Bee suggested maybe regular breaks from fandom are a good idea, and I think she's right: when it starts to feel overwhelming or upsetting, it's just not FUN anymore, and that's no good

hi sweetie so good to see you back and chirpy. Your e-cards have brightened a few of my days as you know - rec to all Ali's friends - she chooses the cutest ones and seems to have a sixth sense for getting the right one at the right time!

Bee was right - you (of all people ;) ) need to learn to pull back when things overwhelm you; but goshdarn ( :) )I'm sure I'm speaking for all of us when I say that I've missed you here.

i'm not taking on the present day bang either - too much other stuff in the WIP file to deal with - so you and I will be able to sit back and enjoy what the other talents have to offer *BIG :)*

WELCOME BACK

Thanks so much for your kind words! :) I hope I can take better care of myself from now on and be a stronger person. :) I'm glad the cards have brightened some days for you. ((Hugs)) :) PS Lovely icon!!!!!

Hi, sweetie. Good to have you back. I agree with PP, your e-cards do brighten our days, and come at a perfect time. A break does us all good, no matter what it's from. If something gets too much, then it's time to step back for a while, and ease yourself back in gently.

I'm not taking part in the challenge either. Deadlines just don't work for me at the moment either!

Ugh, sorry for the super long email!!!!!!!!!1

And thank you for your words. I will try to use better fandom judgment. :(

I'm so glad you're feeling better, sweetie!!!
But it's true - we all missed you profoundly!!!

Do it my friend - take regular breaks and just enjoy being here!!!

And concerning the modern S&H challenge....
How about for you to ask the organizer if it is OK if you participate outside from the regular challenge since you probably won't be ready on time. Just ask them, my dear. If they refuse, you still can write a modern S&H story on your own and and in your time and enjoy all of us immensley!!!
*Big Hugs*.... ;)

Thanks so much!! I will definitely try to do that. :)

I don't think I can be involved in the challenge. But I started working on a story today, an AU (not modern though). I hope I finally finish it!!!!!!

Welcome back! Nice to see you again and I'm glad you're doing better :) Apple crisp sounds fantastic - just looked it up online and I think it's what I know as apple crumble, but crisp sounds nicer, somehow!

[hutchynstarsk]

Thanks! :) I didn't know they were the same!! :o It's usually more crumbled than crisp, haha!! So maybe your term is the correct one after all.

hey girl! glad your hiatus left you refreshed! sometimes, as you say, taking a break is necessary - I've done that from the internet completely and then when I return its all brand new and shiny - which for me, is a good thing!

Nice to see you back! ♥♥

[hutchynstarsk]

Nice to see you! And thanks! ♥
