Hello everybody. I know it’s been a while since I’ve been active and posting here, so I figured it’s time to say a few things.

First off, yes, I am alive and well. Nothing has happened to me, and I’m still around albeit in a much diminished capacity. Life just has a way of intruding into our fantasies that has negatively affected my participation in this community. Nothing has changed about who I am and how I present myself, I just don’t have the time or energy I used to be able to devote here.

Secondly, art and stories are on an indefinite hold until such time as I can give them the attention they deserve and I can produce material of a quality that pleases both me and my viewers. As much as I want to continue the various projects I have ongoing, I’ve kinda lost my muse and this coupled with my very limited free time means I just can’t produce.

I do still check FA almost daily and read journals and look at the art of those I follow, but I haven’t been interacting beyond that with the community much at all.

Please, I ask that you don’t worry about me or fear for my wellbeing. I appreciate those who have expressed concerns about my absence, but they are unfounded. I am in contact with a few very close friends and they know to inform the community if anything actually happens to me.

Please don’t take my silence as an indication of how I feel about any of you, it’s just a badger thing. I am an extremely introverted person in real life, and being social is a huge drain on my energy reserves. With my lack of energy, I just can’t cope with more interaction than I currently pursue.

Thank you for your time and patience, and I hope to return to a more active stance in the future though I can’t say when that will be.

Sláinte!
Brock
