Hello again, everyone.
I thought I should inform all of you to avoid any trouble later: I will not be available for any NIMH-related activities, whether on the forum or on NIMHMuck, from July 4, 2005, to August 23, 2005. During that time, I will be serving my work term as a staff cadet in HMCS Quadra, a Cadet Summer Training Centre for the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets (click

here[=http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y206/NauticalMongoose/SCSTCcontract2.jpg]here for details as to the terms of my employment.). As such, I will be effectively out of contact for the duration of that term. Sorry to all of you who were planning to do anything with my characters on the MUCK; I will try to wrap up any RPs still ongoing with my characters.
I, however, will not leave you hanging. To compensate for my long absence, I am planning to provide you all with some nifty treats of my creation to satiate you all :) I call it Matt's Triple Delight, composed of the following:
1.)
Three excerpts from my production-stage fanfics. These will be posted at the Robin forum, as it seems to be the best place for them. I will try to post one every day before I leave. (In fact, I will post one right after this...)
2.)
Three fan art pictures for the Thorn Valley art gallery. Those of you who have seen my art before can now breath a sigh of relief :P (or shock, depending on what you though of it :D). I'll probably have them all up by this weekend.
3.)
Three big hugs/kisses/whatnot to all my buddies in the NIMH community :P ligives a big smooch to Darla and an extra-tight hug to Eugene ^__^li
Anyways, I hope you will not be too inconvenienced by my absence (actually, it might be a bit egotistical on my part to assume that ^_^'). I will have some interesting stories to bring back after all this (camp is
always an interesting experience ;)). See you all very soon :)
