Whatever became of Placid?

Does anyone know what happened to the writer who calls him/herself Placid? Just one solitary story, beautifully written, added in August '07 - and beyond that, zilch....

Thanks for that PhilK. It was a real gem of a story

I can't actually recall what correspondence we had with them but there must have been some as we do have an email address stored. I tried sending a message but unfortunately it bounced so for now at least we appear to be stumped.

That's a shame - but thanks for letting me know, Februs. Let's just hope that one day he/she (my guess would be 'he') makes a reappearance.

The internet is a funny thing. People can disappear competely, yet some things live on for ever in cyberspace.

There are lots of reasons people stop writing. Maybe they lose interest, or become ill. Who knows? I stopped writing in about 2003 when I got real busy professionally. I just didn't have the time. I've scaled back now, which is why I came back to writing. With others it could be something else entirely. Many of the authors on the old Laura's Spanking Corner are gone.

The authors that I am stating have stopped writing about five years ago. They had informed me that they have no interest in their past stories. Some of these authors have written excellent series and they couldn't care about these stories, any longer. I had wanted them to place them in THE LIBRARY. Some of these website are no longer in the archives of Geocities. They are lost. A real shame. It took them a very long period of time writing a long series and then forgetting about it. Some series were not really finished. No conclusion. What a waste.

I have laid off writing for years at a time for various reasons, not all of which I understand myself. I can't say that the same won't happen in he future, but don't assume that you have heard the last from GuySpencer until his body achieves room temperature.

Doubtless it is the same with other amateur authors.
