Exchange Update

[ficmod]

Hi everyone - first of all, I'd like to apologize for not being able to reply to those of you who contacted me about this year's exchange. The reason is a pretty terrible one, I'm afraid - I recently lost my little brother very unexpectedly and needless to say, everything in my life other than family pretty much disappeared from my priority list.

So I hope you can all understand why I'm not up to run this exchange this year and am unsure about the future as well. I wouldn't want it to die out, so if anyone is willing to help or take it over completely, let me know. Thank you everyone for your understanding. (I promise I'm usually more eloquent but, well.)

Oh my god, that's terrible, no need for an apology! Thank you for all the hard work you've done in the past and for making the effort to update us when you're dealing with such an awful situation.

Deepest sympathies. Thanks for letting us know.

I'm so sorry for your loss

Oh my goodness. I agree with alias_sqbr up there- no need for an apology! It can't be your fault what happened. :C

I’m so sorry for your loss. Definitely do not worry about the exchange!

I’m not equipped to run it myself, but if someone else is prepared to spearhead it I’d be willing to help out.

Of course your loved ones come first, I'm sure nobody here would fail to understand that. I can't help with the exchange - my health deteriorates more every year - but you have my deepest sympathies and my condolences. My sweet boycat Magnus also sends comfort-grooms, if that's your thing. (When I'm sad or angry, he washes my hands all over, and purrs. It helps.)

I had wondered where you were but obviously your family has to be the priority.

I'm very sorry for your loss. ((( )))

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your family. Don't worry about the exchange--real life is always more important.

I am very sorry for your loss. Of course the exchange isn't running this year!

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh, Bright Blessings to you and yours on your loss. Take care of you, of course.

As to the challenge itself, I have neither the experience nor the spoons to run it by myself, but I would be thrilled to be part of a team, if others are willing to join in.

I'm sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself, whatever happens with the fest. You and your family are the priority.

So sorry for your loss. That is terrible and there is no need to apologize.

I had wondered about the exchange but had a bit of an all over the place year myself. If you still are looking for someone willing to take over or help out in the future, feel free to contact me.
