**offers a hug** I hope you’re okay! If you’re too bushed to write, then don’t feel bad about missing posts. You don’t owe us anything, and writing should be for fun more than a duty. I hope you feel better soon <3

**hugs back** Thanks, to-someplace-else. And @pricefudge and @donapoetrypassion and anyone else who may have the well wishes if not the words.

The posts I’ve queued for the next few days are byproducts of my insomnia and boredom, so it’s more of me using stuff I already have anyway. This blog has always been a personal challenge to myself to write once a day–that’s changed over time to just posting once a day, extending to things like brainstorms and character statistics and rant and meta analysis.

Sometimes I am too tired to write, but it’s never something I dread or resent and certainly not because of my followers. I’m glad that there are people who read what I write–people who like my writing enough to like me, as a person, and worry about my emotional well being.

Today was…

I don’t cry very often–not about my own personal life, fictional stuff is tear city–but today I did.

I also didn’t get home until thirty minutes to midnight and I had to pack because I am, yet again, traveling for the next couple of days.

I’ve prepped some character stats posts and I’ve queued them up so I won’t have consecutive missed posts–but if I have time to fill the a softer ask box then I’ll try to do those as well.

Okay, first off: wow! I got so many a softer ask box prompts after the bleak Shikako/Naruto fill, so thanks everyone who has sent those in! I’m glad(?) you all enjoyed the weirdly meta theorizing that went on in that ficlet šŸ™‚

Unfortunately, I’ll be busy with family stuff for the next couple of days (graduation season plus Mother’s Day plus a lot of my family is born in May so we generally just mash up everything into a weeklong event) so I probably won’t be able to fill those until sometime next week. I’ll try to see if I can, though private time is a scarcity, so it’s fairly unlikely.

Never fear, though, because I’ve set up a queue for the completed/cleaned up Character Stats for Team Seven, Team Ten, Team Eight, and Team Gai which have been approved (but not necessarily canonized, so don’t quote me on anything) by Silver Queen!

If I still need a few more posts, I also have the Character Stats for my other Naruto-world series if anyone’s interested?

So… my dad fell through the ceiling… I mean. He’s mostly okay–bumps and bruises and a potential mild concussion–but I’m on hand to make sure he’s okay.

A softer ask box event is still on, though.

Number + Ship + (optional) AU –> my ask box

[If anyone else wants to do a softer world prompt that isn’t on the list, you can just send the page id number for the original comic instead.]
