An Announcement

Now that Iron & Irony: Second Encounters is posted in its entirety, I'm going to make an official announcement of sorts, to those few who might be interested: I'm retiring from writing fanfic for now. There are many reasons for this. For one, I haven't got a whole lot of inspiration to write these days, partly due to the drop in activity in the fandom in general. A more important reason is that I'm incredibly busy these days. I've got so much study-related writing to do that I simply haven't got the time or the energy for fanfic. This is the way my writing's always been. I get obsessed and write a lot for several months, and then, for one reason or the other, the inspiration and urge to write just fade away, only to be found again at some completely unexpected moment.

So, I'm probably not going to write any fic anytime in the near future. I might, if I suddenly get a huge attack of the plotbunnies/inspiration/whatever, but it's unlikely. So, I guess this is goodbye, of sorts. Gah, I'm feeling nostalgic and sad now. :( Of course, I'm not really going anywhere. I'll be lurking around and following my flist. But anyway, once more, thanks to all the friends I've made while writing in the Iron Man fandom, it's been a blast! You're all wonderful. <3
