Once upon a time there was a guy knocking around DeviantArt's Anime/Manga circles. He'd only posted about a dozen pics, had only been there for a few weeks, and had started to make some really good friends. (You know who you are)

And then, of a sudden, he vanished. For two whole weeks, not a peep. Where could he have been?

Well, if you must know, I've met a wonderful girl and am falling for her badly. I'll say this about falling in love: when it happens its like an international incident has happened inside your life. People are wandering around dazed and confused as paramedics try and dig survivors out of the rubble. Camera crews are poking around while the Red Cross hands out coffee to the displaced. Okay, imagery aside, it is something that's disruptive and you don't really see it coming.

Could everybody please include my friend ~Ravensdark in your collective prayers? I won't say anything about it right now as I don't know how private he feels about it, but he has had a very bad shock and needs all that good karma that is owing to him ('cos I've never seen him be anything but kind and generous) to start coming his way soon.

I'm sorry if I've neglected the friends I've made here. I'm trying to shuffle some priorities around at the moment so I not only have time to check out all your dev's, but also am working on a few very special new deviations of my own. These are going to be a little more refined and of a different order to what you've seen so far, and will need effort to be finished well.

My usual friends list is missing this time as our Internet has been cut off.
