I'm here. Have been the whole time, but omg I haven't had proper time off since the summer, so I've been spectacularly lazy (and happy). Also we've spent a lot of time with family.
A quick roundup of stuff.

Basically everything is currently world building and plotting and I'm having a blast living in the Maybe*.)
