Post: Don't, don't, don't, don't you...

[labyrinth2015]

...As you walk on by, will you call my name?
When you walk away...

And so, regretfully, hiatus.

There's a truckload of work, and for some reason fandom isn't the frivolous happy fantasyspace it used to be? The damn music industry's a fickle, incomprehensible thing. And my well's dry, y'all; I recognize it's time to take a step back.

I'm totally grateful for everything fandom's given me, and for all of you. I still care; I'll still be about these guys, and about you all - that won't change. I'll still be here, dancing, you know it, baby.



You need me -- for a listening ear, for views on holiday plans, for a quick consult or beta -- I'm just a PM away.



One fandom thing that's given me real pleasure these last few days: discussing our boy's new song with otherbella and princessleia04, and the new pictures, from which naughtiest made a poster for the hottest new cop show on the block - IDOLS5-0! Or something like that, anyway.



And the show where they're thugs? Here :)



I will check mails, likely lurk, and possibly surface in some shape or form when that sophomore record does. Until then, I hope you'll all treat each other kindly, and will stay in touch - look my way, call my name, don't walk on by.

And so: slow change may pull us apart - when the light gets into your heart... baby, don't you forget about me.

Ah, me too, bb! Glad you're still having fun in panfandom and Asia and Inception :)

oh jay......i totally understand.....you need a balance which can be hard to find sometimes especially when one side gets heavier than the rest......

i will miss you of course (as everyone else has also expressed) but hopefully when you are ready to come back to us we'll have great things like new music and well whatever else surfaces around that time .....we'll of course be here when you're ready.....

oh....and i totally thought of you over the weekend when i made the hubby watch inception with me (again....lolz) so i'll just have to watch it more and it will be like you never left.....lolz....

A million hearts back :) Thank you, bb, and I will think about you guys too! Wishing you and hubby the very best. Do PM me if you need anything, k? Xxx

[christig428.livejournal.com]

I get it. But you'll be missed. You are very kind, to everyone. <333

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

Thank you, bb. I am hoping everything goes well with you and your health and that this year is all you could possibly dream of. Do PM me if you need to, okay? <333

Ack, I'm sorry that I've been a bit unresponsive and out of touch lately Jay, and I'm sad to see you taking a hiatus, but I completely understand the need. Sometimes you just need to recharge your fandom batteries. *hugs* Feel free to e-mail me anytime and I look forward to when you come back! ♥

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

Hey, Mari! You haven't been unresponsive at all, it's not that! I guess we just balance differently, and it's made a difference to my stress levels and crankiness to take a definitive step back. I realise I coulda just dropped off the face of the earth quietly, but I wanted to let people know that it wasn't fandom, it was me ;) And, thanks for everything! I will totally email you if necessary <333

[be-merry.livejournal.com]

Awww. I'll miss you, bb. Take care of you. ♥

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. You too ♥

[therealesther.livejournal.com]

i haven't gotten to know you that well but thank you so much for your encouragement in my first tentative steps at writing cookleta fic! :) even if you're not around, i'm glad i can still snuggle up in your fic!

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

Aw, I was so glad to encourage more fic in our fandom! And you know how to reach me if you need to! ♥

[kelseyfilip.livejournal.com]

i dont really know you, Im more a lurker then a poster, haha. But i like the pics you posted. Nice to meet you! haha. Maybe we will get to know each other and become friendssss =) lol you seem like a sweet person. okay, bye! hahaa.

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

Haha, thank you, bb ;)

[fieryrogue.livejournal.com]

I AM GOING TO CRY.

;___;

Okay, but really, I've communicated via e-mail just moments ago, so you already know that I want you to be well and happy and to kick work's butt and all that. I will miiisss you around these parts, but I won't forget about you. Won't won't won't won't. *sings*

Also, you posted this two days ago which makes me feel terrible because I am perpetually behind on all my important people. Maybe I need a hiatus as I tend to just fall off the earth for awhile myself. I'm so rude! Worst friend ever.

Gah, I'm so sad! What is this tingling in my eyes??

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

Silly goose, you're not a bad friend, or getting rid of me. Just emailed you.

[deepshame.livejournal.com]

Jay, you are so lovely and I wish all good things for you. So-- you will be missed, even by silly lurkers like me. ♥

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

M, sweetie, right back atcha - hope all goes well with classes and writing and your hub. I will miss you too! I'm just an email away :)

[hypertwink.livejournal.com]

Hello you! I saw your name on one of the fics I'm following Bottoming Out/One Percenters!

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm supposed to be on hiatus, but Frack asked me to beta and I could not refuse, LOL. I'm thrilled you're enjoying the fic! ♥

[onepunkymisfit.livejournal.com]

I miss youuuuu. <3
/random driveby comment that I think about leaving all the time

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

I love you, Julia, and think about you often :)

And I am coming back from hiatus soon, I think! I have a Cookleta remix story coming up, and I may have written a small U2 RPF thing, so - small steps back to fandom.
