Happy summer everyone! Or at least, most of us. Except for those weirdos in Australia. Anyways, I know I said I'd be more active this summer, since it may be my last, and I haven't lied to you. Things just had a crappy start.
I was supposed to start summer with a week in South Carolina (ew, the beach). I packed 22 books (swear) and my laptop so I could start up back here. We were there for a day and it was really nice, but the second morning we got a call from my grandma- my grandpa's heart stopped and he was in the hospital. Less than 15 minutes later he declared dead. We flew back that day.
I was really close with my grandpa, and it's terrible. This whole summer my family is spending half at our house and half at my grandma's, which is three hours away. I'm not religious, so I won't ask for your prayers, but please keep my grandma in your thoughts if you'd like- she's utterly destroyed.
So anyways, that's been the last few weeks for me. But hopefully I'm back a little bit more regularly now. Again, I'm always sorry I'm not a bigger presence for everyone here- I'm a terrible head admin, bleh. But *fingers crossed* I can start making up for that now.
I'll be reading at least one new fic a week, and while I'm not exactly taking requests, message me if you want someone to edit/beta/whatever your story. I'll be working on the stories I still have to finish- especially War.
And I've noticed a lot of new faces around, so I figured I should introduce myself. I'm Arti, the head admin here. I'm 16 and I live in the US. I obviously love writing and reading, and I'm currently working on a YA fantasy novel I'm going to hopefully get published. If you guys have any questions, let me know!
Love y'all, as always. ----You've Got to Leave the GroundTo Learn to Fly... 21:03, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
