What's with the complete lack of everything?

It seems like lately there is a major lull going on in fanfic land. At least as far as AC is concerned. Only the same few people seem to be updating and everyone else has kind of disappeared. No one is posting in here anymore, or posting stories or voting for awards etc...

So, what's your reason for slumping?

RokofAges75:
I know!  Sad panda!  It's weird to see updates six days old still on the first page of most recent.  My only reason for not updating more often is that I only have the time and energy I need to write on the weekends, so I'm doing well if I can update something once a week.

I miss the discussions on the forum; it's still one of the first places I come when I get online, and it's disappointing to see no new posts since my last visit.  I haven't been able to think of any questions or new threads to get the conversation going again, though.

It's the forum that's making me sad too. I admit I've moved on from actual fanfic. I rarely look for updates or read much anymore and we know I'm not really writing either, but this forum is what's kept me clinging on. I'm sad no one comes in and talks anymore. Too bad the spammers don't count as real people because I reject about 200 members a day easily. LOL

I thought with Kevin coming back and their 20th anniversary looming, it would prove to be the inspiration I needed and hoped the same would be true for everyone else. Who knows? It still might be.

It's sad that the two most active threads have nothing to do with fanfic at all. The book club thread and the TV one!

Rose:
Hey! I've returned! LOL.

Like seriously my inspiration has come back full force. I'm so happy about it. I'll actually probably be able to update again soon. I would like to say everyone's just in a lull. I'm sad about the forum though, I love this place!

I think people are just really busy. I know that I am busy with work and just life in general. As for writing, I'm working on two collaborations at the moment. I used to be the type to write a chapter and post it right away, but now I am waiting until a story is complete. That means that I'm not posting all the time.

But, I do think life just gets in the way sometimes. Maybe people have more going on in their personal lives right now. With the economy the way it is, lots of people are working two jobs to pay the bills and for Backstreet Stuff.

I think things go through phases....mayb e fanfic is just going throuh a slump. I hope that it picks up.
