Hi everyone!
I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to post any sort of official message on here; I've had a lot going on this year. I didn't mean to be away for as long as I have but last year one of my email accounts was hacked and it made me so unwell with the stress and anxiety of it all that I haven't been able to open my old laptop without having a severe panic attack since. This was over a year and a half ago (round about the time of my last official post). I've now bought myself a new one which is why you're now seeing this message. Apologies if the alignment of this post is off or doesn't look right; they've since change the formatting process and this is the first time I've been able to use it.
I'm aware that there are issues with the stories. I'm hoping they're not linked to the hacking of my old email account. These should be separate issues I am currently trying to fix/upgrade an old laptop that I should be able to use to access the site they are on as I am aware that there may be potential viruses on it (within my account, not the pages itself) and I don't want to compromise my new laptop.
If you could email me screenshots of any issues you have with stories it would help immensely as I can't access them myself.
I appreciate those of you that have stayed and have continued to visit the site. I also appreciate the friends that I've made through this site being concerned for my mental health and well being. It's been hard but once I get the stories working again I should be over the worst of the anxiety. The worst part is not knowing what I'm going to see once I am able to log into my account on the host site.I don't know how long it will take me to fix the stories, or if I will even be able to fix them. I did try to contact another site that had similar issues twice but they have ignored me and the host site can't help me so I don't know who I can go to for help. I do have a couple of technicians within my family that I could ask but I also don't want to bother them or for it look like I'm using them as we rarely speak. I don't want my asking for help to be the root of our relationship as I'm all too well that I could then be seen as a someone who only ever needs them or help or even a burden.
I also have some pretty big personal things going on so my being able to fix things/set a schedule has to work around them.
I'm sorry that I didn't do an advent calendar last year; I was too unwell. Writing/updating 26 stories on top of making banners and being unwell just wasn't going to work.
I might not have anything new until next year and I don't think I'll be doing a calendar this year either.
My main goal for this year is to get the stories working and make sure the site is as up-to-date as it can be.
I'm hopeful that I'll have a story update/possible new story in the new year. I hope it'll be worth the wait. The last thing I want to do is disappoint you.
I promise that I'll continue to keep you updated through official posts rather than via the message board and I'll link any posts through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter too.
I think that's all for today. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and to still be invested in the site if you are a returning reader. If you're new here; welcome. I hope you'll stick around and will enjoy the stories once I fix them.
