It sucks to realize you're just not going to have time to do something that you had your heart set on (believe me, I know that pain so well this year). But that just means you can devote the necessary time to it, and bring it to us when it's ready rather than rushing to finish it before Christmas. I am shamelessly looking forward to more of Fragments, though. LOL

I might just post fic worth reading again in the foreseeable future!

This implies that you've posted fic not worth reading, which is decidedly untrue.
