I am accepting of this idea. I wonder if perhaps we should go at it with a "time is going to pass in the rp" attitude... and so we should agree to let certain things happen, unwritten. Perhaps we can pick up (in June) at an agreed-upon "rp" point-in-time, or we can pick up right where we left off. We are very good at details, and so the story takes us a long time to tell. We're like Ents. Anyhow, lets hear from some other viewpoints.

As much as I'd like to go "noooo, we caaaan't" and whine like a petulant child(e), this sounds like a rather wise idea. I've got school, the bellydancing community is dragging me in, and Renaissance Faire season is starting. Add my inability to say 'no' to other projects, and I'm losing some decent sleep here. All my fault of course, but it's a disservice to try and wedge RP'ing between all that.
Not that being insane is necessarily a disqualification to write for River. *laugh*
So, reluctantly, I think it a wise idea, but not at the cost of losing touch with everyone. Y'all are too much fun; I'm not letting go so easily. 
And if the Cap'n is still having computer troubles of a hardware kind, we might have to chat. I'm probably upgrading my system, and will have some of the (still working) parts from this beast when I'm done.

I do hate to say - "and the curtain closed and time passes" when there are still actions that needed to be done (and are already written) that have not happened yet.
Yes there is something a bit Entish here, but I am patient and love the story we are making, slow, steady and well, neat.
Personal opinion is I am content to take it up where we leave off - possibly start a new thread with a 'where were we' and go from there. It may be that we can have a full 'past history' transcript done by then for anyone who wants one.
My two cents. And see me, I'm hardly whining at all ...

Hello folks -- a note from your long lost Cap'n:
I agree with Debs about a hiatus - as we mulled over the idea on the phone!
COMP STATUS
New P4 3.2G comp is back so this P3 800 can get it's fanny bashed back into shape. I just got to move a bunch of drenn - both physically and digitally.
HEALTH
Found out why my immune system has gone haywire - I have crossed the diabetes border - but not TOO far. My Doc believes that the pancreas stimulation med should do the trick - as long as I lose weight - which I GAINED 25 lbs from being a tad invalid due to my hip STILL being bunged up from the accident last Aug.
On the vehicular accident note - Astriana: Are you doing any better after your bang-up?
OK - me tired now ... going to back up the current ACT and OOC threads and will keep in touch via FFFn threads, emails, IMs etc ...
Why don't we use the miniseries discussion thread or make a GunRunners hiatus thread to post thoughts, ideas and to keep in touch?

I realise this discussion is nothing to do with me - a) 'cause I'm not part of the GunRunners and b) 'cause I ain't even been on the board for an age and a half, but I like this idea! I've always liked reading the threads, and would miss it if they disappear entirely now that I'm back...

I offer this:
Three months or so. Take a vacation from this mental exercise and deal with the real world. Sort our heads and keep our characters and their lives on the back burner as needed. Come back here rested and refreshed June 1, 2005, and take up where we left off.
I agree to this, reluctantly but with love.
But Gunrunners, do me a favor ... talk to me if you see me online and are inclined. Don't diss Decoy because he takes the best possible care of me. However I am alone here ... without you and until I move I am alone. And with that I do not deal well.

Maniac's idea does have some merit - and might make coming back easier if we had a fresh canvas. However, it could also open us up to a whole plethora of Flashback sequences, and for my own part, I think I've done more than my fair share of those as it is. So I'm thinking we pick up from where we are now.
Rowan and Merz will still have that game - no worries bao bei.

The "Hiatus" thread is a GREAT idea. Meantime, I'll be writing a fic with Rowan and maybe working out some of her character myself. The first part will probably post during our time off.
Rowan and Mal still need to sit down and chat.

Lets not rule out emergency postings...
I get home at one in the morning and sometimes, I just have to write. So you may get a few flashbacks from me for Book, or a move or two from Malachi.

Thanks.
