SEBASTIAN: SHORT LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM LSF

Do to personal ( including medical) problems, I will be leaving LSF, first of the new year, until early spring. Since starting September, 2009, I believe that I have only missed about three days with as many as 6 to 8 hours per day. I am now doing only one hour per day. I will check in from time to time for popups and maybe a story to read. For some who have my e-mail address, this will be inactive, as well. It's been a great experience reading many new authors as well as reading new stories from the old authors who had been around long before the LSF. Its been a great pleasure. Hope to see you on a regular basis, in a few months.

Here's wishing you the best. We'll miss you, and look forward to your return.

We will certainly miss you Sebastian. Please don't forget to return. We don't want to lose you!

For our newer members, Sebastian had a hand in creating the friendly and nurturing culture here at the LSF, particularly as it relates to commenting. I think it's fair to say that Sebastian is the library's first super commenter.

So many of my stories, and even the last two I submitted for the challenge, show you on my comment page. I will be beaming you positive energy as you recover. Please, on days you feel up to it, stay in touch and send an occasional popup to one of us we can share with the rest of the site. I'll be thinking of you getting strong and feeling better everyday.

All the best to you Sebastian and I know all of us wish you a safe return whenever you make that decision. Many of us, if not all of us, are cyber-friends but you can be assured you will be often thought of and good wishes and prayers for your return throughout the months you leave.

Guy is right, Sebastian set the model for me and many others to follow in the commenting on site. He set the pace and gave many new writers those vital comments in a time when comments were few and far between.

Be well and return to us soon, Sebastian. Many thanks for all of your encouraging comments.

I'll miss your input and thoughtful comments and encouragement, Sebastian. Hoping things clear up on the medical front soon for you.

Best of luck and get well soon, Sebastian.

I hope you get to feeling better far sooner than the dates you describe here, Sebastian. I'll miss your input in commenting on stories as well. Sometimes we come across hard times, and I know that all too well. My thoughts and prayers are on their way.

Pat

Best of luck and already looking forward to having you back!
