Hey there!

Right, so, first of all, hello! Yes, I am in fact, alive.

So, if you're reading this, you're probably wondering why I haven't been as active on Fanfiction for...oooh boy, a long while.

Short version: My life got crazy complicated, crazy fast in late spring of this year. I started working full-time and almost immediately had to pull in over-time because someone quit right after I started. Also, a lot of personal issues hit critical mass and I've been trying to keep on top of those. Among them are: Anxiety, depression, seizure-like panic attacks, and PTSD. Oh, and I also uncovered traumatic memories of my early childhood, but my narcissistic father doesn't believe me when I tell him that when I was four a neighbor was basically a demon from hell/my parents are really unsupportive/looks like they don't trust me when I tell them about important issues they don't want to deal with/sooooo much angst over here I feel like I'm in a spot-light and I'd really rather not be in it, but as long as I am I'm going to deal with it by making as many jokes or references that I can.

Yeah, it's been a long summer.

But - on the positive side - I'm feeling a little bit better! I'm seeing doctors, therapists, and getting the medicine I need. I'm also married to a great guy who adores me, and that's wonderful, and good friends who are helping me through all this stuff. I post more details on my Tumblr, so if you want to go check that out, you'll be sure to stay up to date on what's going on with me! :-)

Yeah on my Tumblr basically I post gen stuff about VLD, geek out about things I love, and post about my life in general. It's fun.

Anyway, this latest installment of the 'Lost Paladins' series is very, very much a work-in-progress. I write when I have both the time and the energy, so hearing lots of love from ya'll always helps, but bugging me for updates really won't. I promise I have lots of good stuff in store, but I'm trying to pace myself so I stay healthy and sane. Well, healthy, anyway. ;-)

Check out my Tumblr if you want - it's the same name as here, Rangergirl3. I'm also more active on Archive of Our Own just due to it being really easy to keep a series in 'order' on that site. :-)
