Alright boys and girls, I know you are all anxiously awaiting more Torchwood stuff from me. Well, I have the proverbial types of news for you.
Good news... I have ideas. Lots and lots and lots of ideas. Including an intriguing crossover with Criminal Minds.
Bad news... I'm on a long-term hiatus from writing any of my stories.
The reasons... repeated private messages from people both here and on Livejournal essentially telling me off for writing Torchwood AU, specifically those focused on Ianto, have pushed me to the brink of a major depressive episode. I won't name names, that's a bit petty, but the guilty parties know who they are. In an attempt to regain my mental equilibrium, I am taking a step or two back.
I have to step away from this... I have to let it go... or I'm going to lose it. The last time I felt like this I stopped writing for over five years. Completely and totally stopped writing. The Collective Dreaming series was the first things I'd written in years. I enjoyed it. I still do. I enjoy my friends and fans on my friends lists. I do not enjoy being bitched at, belittled, and bullied by other fans who are determined that I need to do and write things their way and supportive of their point of view in order to be a writer in the fandom we're both members of. Thus the step back for a while.
One side effect of this is that effective May 30, 2011, I will no longer be posting in any way to Livejournal. I no longer feel safe there and will not return to the site in any traceable way. I suppose that means I won't be a part of three of my favorite communities, but I need to feel comfortable and safe again.
One last thing, some of you will get private messages from me in the next few days. I would greatly appreciate it if the contents of those messages remain just that... private.
To those who have been sending me these messages, I have reported them to the appropriate people at both Dreamwidth and Livejournal. If this harassment continues, If I receive one more email I will publish it, name and all, as I consider them a form of intimidation
Since I know many of you will be offering good wishes, I give you my thanks in advance.
