Well hello dear reader, it has been a while has it not.
I know you must have plenty of questions, who, what, where, but all will be revealed in due time. Now however is the time to speak of love, hardship and the search to find a greater understanding of life, the universe and everything.
.
.
Apparently it’s 42, who could have guessed.
.
.
Anyway, without as much jest, today really is a day off love and I think I’ve found my match. For those netizens and lurkers that have long since boarded themselves in their room forgetting even the color of grass, no, today is not Valentine's Day nor is it any special holiday day. It is however the day when I start talking about this ongoing project of mine, and I believe this would be best told through the medium of dance.

Sadly, I possess the wherewithal not to embarrass myself in front of you dear reader, which is why I shall instead tell you about the story through conventional means.
.
See about a month ago when I went dark I had multiple trips planned all around the globe, a particularly savvy operative may have deduced a ploy for world domination, but sadly it was nothing so grand.
.
.
I have had during these thirty cycles of night and day the enormous pleasure to speak to some old acquaintances, you know the like, friends, family, friends of family, you understand. Well in any case, during one of these powwows I was introduced to what was apparently a gaggle of cousins stemming from the Middle East, Egyptians it seems.
.
Among that group I received the great pleasure of meeting one Aya something or other, while speaking to this Aya it seemed like she too was part of the literary world, and that’s when it happened dear reader.
.
.
I was introduced to the magnificent site of tvtropes.org, I can’t remember what happened later that night, but I can say that I have been filled with absolute jubilation ever since. I might even need to take some pills later tonight to calm myself again as I see the grand potential in front of me dear reader.
.
.
Gone will be the days were I have to know whether a concept has already been established as a trope, instead I now have the knowledge of an entire lifetime at my fingertips.
.
.
.
My lack of creativity is still a problem though dear reader, sadly it seems there is no cure for creative impotence. I thought that maybe a change of setting would spark some ideas in this ol noggin of mine, but I have to say with some sadness that that didn’t happen.
.
.
All was not for naught though, my great prize aside, I have made some strides working on my new project, I am as they would say currently in the research phase, and I have learned many things and can with certainty say that soon I shall start writing what is sure to be the best fiction one could ever read.
