I'm not sure I agree that the place has become less popular. It ebbs and flows, and right now we're at an ebb, but there have definitely been good spurts of activity in the last few months.
For my part, I've had a really hard time writing in general lately. I have a few stories here I want to continue, and one in particular that I keep thinking of different directions to go with, I just never seem to have the energy or focus to actually put finger to keyboard. Personal problems. I'm working on them.
Maybe in June...
