I suppose this thought has just been recurring in my mind for a while, and I'd like for you as members of the site to give me an honest answer. Does it bother you that I seem to be a little flaky? I'll get going on the site for a while, it seems, and then suddenly I tend to lose focus and/or hit a wall and I end up having to leave for an unspecified amount of time. I feel terrible, often times, because I tend to leave people in voids and such. I just wonder if it bothers you at all.
I've had a lot of stuff rolling around in my mind. Trying to find a safe place to just be myself, and yet I'll fade out because of...well, reasons. I respect my peers here on the site and their word, so, I'm looking to hear from you. Tell me how you feel. I'm available via PM if you need to keep your feelings on the subject private.
I want to say thank you in advance for taking this question seriously. It means a lot to me.
- Gav

I don't know you all that well, to be entirely honest, but my thoughts on this issue are as follows.
I can certainly understand how RL can catch up with you at times, and have left the site myself for long periods multiple times in the past. The big thing that it comes down to for me, at least, is whether or not you wrap up your plots so as to not leave people hanging. As long as you do that each time before taking a break then I see no issue with it. I would advise that the next time you feel one of these breaks/absences coming on, try to resolve your plots and such so that when/if you do vanish you don't leave people waiting. Either way I certainly can'[t judge others too harshly for this sort of thing, seeing as I've done it myself in the past and am doing my best these days to avoid over-extending myself in terms of writing/RP.
Hopefully that helps some. -Stormro

Get lost dude!
Lol you know I only kid. Let me start with the obvious to everyone that knows you, you're an amazing writer and an asset to the site, having you around in any capacity is a great thing no matter how briefly or lengthy it may be.
Now on a personal note, I miss you being around when you're gone. I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way but I feel that you are one of the few writers that push me to be better even when you're not writing with me. I see your posts in such great detail and animation and want to best you, I fail of course but I still like to try. And then of course you're my friend, which makes your presence or lack there of, important to me.

Dude, if it weren't for you guys, I'd have no reason to push myself as hard as I do. I'm just trying to keep up with y'all!!! But, thank you - all of you guys - for the kind words and advice. I know we've probably all had the whole "come again/go again" mentality at one point, but I think that if I can make an effort to stick around, I'll actually be a benefit to this site for once rather than a detractor.
Any which way you put it, I'm just glad that I get to collaborate with such amazing writers as yourselves! I'll see you on the boards!
