Hi guys! First of all, I want to thank you all for the years of reviews, both criticism and kind words alike. It's helped me become a better writer to get constructive feedback, and knowing there are people who want to read what I've written has been a great motivation.

Everything posted here was written and then either completed or abandoned at least seven years ago. I am sorry to say this, but it is extremely unlikely that I will ever finish the Jude & Icheb story (now entitled 'Where We Began') or Weakness. I actually feel that they stand as they are (especially Weakness) so I've marked them as completed. I apologize to everyone who wanted me to write more on those stories, but real life has intervened in an extremely destructive manner for a VERY long time, and I've lost all trace of where I might have taken either of those storylines. Also,I must admit that since the show ended, I have fallen off a bit in my Voyager fandom, and I have forgotten many details that, once upon a time, my brain contained at the ready. I would not want to do poor justice to the Star Trek universe by generalizing or making up a bunch of random stuff, especially since I did so well utilizing canonical details back when I wrote these. Well, most of the time, anyway; Jude is a Mary-Sue if ever there was one, although I dare say she's a bit more tolerable than most. (That's another reason I am unlikely to finish said story; I am far too jaded by Mary Sues now to ever feel good about writing one.)

I cannot say for certain if I will return to posting on ff.net, but it is your reviews and love over the years that have pulled me back tonight to review my stories, fix a few things and rewrite my profile to be at least marginally up-to-date. Thank you again for all your kind words and for your willingness to read my blatherings in the first place. I am always amazed that people still read my stuff here, but there you are, despite my years of silent absence. Thanks.

It may or may not comfort you to know that I have certainly continued to write, although it is not fanfiction and thus cannot (I think! under the current TOS?) be posted on ff.net. I have managed to publish a chapbook of my poetry, about which I'm quite happy. Hopefully there will be more publishing in my future. If there is, I'll certainly let you all know, and you can go out and peruse my original works, too, if that is of interest.

I wish you all happy reading. Be well.
