Quote:Essentially, I'm focusing too much on stories and creative writing and not enough on my Naval career. As some of you may understand, that's a good way to get an administrative separation and I cannot afford that.I hear what you're saying. Work and family come before hobbies, definitely.
Quote:I'm willing to leave that to someone else (or several someones) to manage if they think they can handle it. They can defer to me for guidance, but for the most part I can no longer spend the time I would like to spend on this.I'm willing to be one of those "several someones" - I think I know Ben and Gina well enough to be able to write them correctly, and am willing to take a chance with Mayo-chan and the others - but I have work and family, too, so I can't be the sole custodian of the characters for if/when you come back.
So if anyone feels up to the task, please say so.
