Hiatus

[gylfie2]

As most of you will know, I'm absolutely atrocious at responding to threads on time. I'm pretty sure that some of you have been waiting for a couple of months now. It's not a new trait of mine - I've always had a bit of a low attention span - but it's definitely a habit I try hard to break.

Did you know that my time here on the Whoniverse has been the longest connection time I've ever had with a roleplaying forum¹? Has it really been about six months now? Amazing.

Nevertheless, I feel that it's my fault when the website lulls. When people see that I haven't replied to personal messages² or threads, I figure they wander off or put off doing other, more important tasks... and I feel bad. Heck, I don't even know if that's true, but it makes me guilty just thinking about it.

My, ah, solution is a hiatus. I'm taking a break. Not from my current threads³, but from taking on new threads and, maybe, replying to those that don't seem to be taking me anywhere. Mind you, a lot of threads are taking Jack and I places, so most of my recently joined threads will continue.

If you've been expecting a reply from more for more than a week, send me a personal message and I'll get to it within the next week.

In the meantime, if you guys want to talk to me⁴, you can contact me through the following websites and contact details...
1. I'm usually lingering through the out-of-character threads when I make it onto the website. Writing about my day or interests doesn't require the part of me experiencing Writer's Block, see?
2. My MSN and email addresses are [e-mail] for personal use and [e-mail] for various Doctor Who and Torchwood related roleplays.
3. www.givemeshinies.tumblr.com is home to my Tumblr blog. It includes stupid tales about my day, scandalous pictures and, sometimes, music and videos and the like.
4. Although contact is limited, some of you may want to check out my DeviantART. I go through it every day.
5. Facebook. Yeah, Facebook. My profile is private and I'll only add people that I know, so I'm not worried about sharing my name. It's not even my real name anyway. If you want to add me, my Facebook name is Natasha Ataria.

Thank you, guys, for the marvelous times. I'm still here and willing to chat, but please don't hate me if I'm slow.

Also, I was quite sick this week. I had a difficult time breathing and eating, due to my sore throat and mucus-filled lungs. I also experience hypersensitivity when I'm sick, so even the lightest pressure on my skin tends to hurt me. Everything's almost cleared up. Just having trouble breathing now.



¹ That wasn't my own, of course. I've had longer periods running The Shapeless and The Namara. Hit me up if you want to check them out. The Shapeless is my favourite, but The Namara had it's moments.
² Sorry, Sarah Jane. I love you, but I don't have enough time to reply to each of your messages (though I certainly read each and every one of them). I tend to just implement your feedback and put it into my posts. Again, I apologize.
³ That'd be unfair.
⁴ We shall waltz around like madmen!
