I just noticed that all of the posts under 'absence' are by me... haha...
So anyway, though this is just a tad bit late, I've logged on to the computer for the first time in some while to inform chu gais that, because of generic reasons like school and extra-curricular activities, I'm taking/have already started an undetermined hiatus. I don't really know how long I'll be gone, really...
Anyway, I find my former actions of being gone for two months simply because of school and lack of interest/muse cruel and unnecessary, but school truly has been a lot more busy this year. Granted, most of my absence was due to my social life, and I really should've said something sooner. Shoulda coulda woulda.
But now I've got a somewhat more important excuse. As last year's attempt was a brutal failure, I am again attempting NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), in which authors try to write 50, 000 words through-out the month of November, start to finish. Which means 1, 667 words per day on average. So, as my dedication has been proven through taking a two-month hiatus on a roleplaying site, I'm only going to try for 10, 000 at first, and if I succeed that I'll make a higher goal. After all, I'm writing this with a pen and paper, and wedging it into any free time I have.
NaNoWriMo was also partially the cause of my two-month disappearance, because during that time period I was literally drained of muse. I had absolutely no interest in writing, plotting, posting, I even found it extremely difficult to draw anything productive. So I took a break, in hopes that deprivation would bring long-awaited back muse.
Don't get me wrong, I haven't at all forgotten you guys. I still think about Cysro everyday. Whether it's tweaking plots or characters, or even just a twang of guilt about leaving silently, you guys are always on my mind.
On the positive side, said hiatus worked. I may not be dying to post, but I definitely have more interest. But my intention is to put it towards NaNoWriMo.
Which brings me to the very important aspect of this post - permission.
Should you permit me to do so, I'd like to write about Cysro for my NaNoWriMo story. I'm asking to use your characters and plots freely, and to be able to bend them to fit my ideas. Should you not agree, which I am perfectly alright with and will simply create character of my own to replace them, I will have complete understanding, as I know that allowing me to manipulate your characters to various extents would be a very lenient thing to do.
So anyway, this post has been far longer than I had intended, and probably sounds absolutely and ridiculously tacky as towards the end I began reading what I type in my head with a distinctly British accent to my wording and vocabulary is probably very, very irritable. Good god.
Okay, so I'll conclude with a heartfelt apology, and I really am sorry. I'll do what I can to fit posts in between everything else. Please get back to me as soon as you can and let me know if I might be able to use your characters and plots in my story, please and thank you.
Sorry again, and I love ya guys,
~Luna
(P.S. I'll probably modify or reply to this with a much shorter, more legible post, because out of embarrassment and lack of time I don't want to read this over.)

NNWM sounds cool, but are your 50 000 words written for simply the satisfaction of writing or do you intend to publish it or send it in to somewhere?
