I saw you was trying to message me earlier, but I didn't notice at the time, as I was busy. I hope that didn't effect your decision.

Anyway, don't get depressed about your fiction. A lot of us are not as active as we were. Look at my fiction, its bigger than I can manage, and I get new ideas all the time. Only 20-30% actually make it onto the wiki anytime soon. Yet it still stands. At the end of the day, none of this really matters. If you ever find yourself in the position to write fiction again (and yes I have felt ups and downs about writing), just remember to enjoy writing it and nothing else. Don't worry about who reads it, don't worry if it doesn't fit the model of someone-else's. Strategies I have also found useful include writing sections in the history of fiction documenting stories I couldn't actually write, or writing in scrapbook pages if I fear the story won't be finished.

I understand depression is much more than "being sad", and it is not easy to get over. But I hope this relieves some pressure. Don't feel like I expect you to reply, return when you are ready.
